Can you export My Places from one TomTom Account to another using MyDrive?

bendbm

I would like to transfer my places from a personal account onto another account that work pay for.

Is it possible to export my places as a GPX file so that i can then import them into the new account

Many users have asked for the facility to backup their MyPlaces to a PC
The MyDrive Route planner allows you to download your data from the Tomtom Cloud

The file looks like unusable Gobbledegook, the MyPlaces can be found in the file

Hello YamFazMan, thank you for your comprehensive and helpful answer. I have done all of the above but the ov2 file shows in the device's My Places as its file name and does not break out the individual places. Do you have any suggestions as to why that is? Also, there is nothing at all in the My Places section of the My Drive website.
