Importing favourites from older GO unit??

cos140

Is there a way to transfer my old favourites etc from my old GO720 unit onto my new Premium X unit? I have saved many places which were hard to find initially and would like to transfer over...would save me sooo much time.
Thank you all

Hi
@cos140

This video shows you how to transfer favourites and Points of Interest (POIs) to your new device.


If you have Lots of Favorites....
Saving Your Favorites from your Tomtom using the free version of Softops POI editor
Download SoftTop Tomtom POI Editor to a folder on your desktop; open the folder and un-zip the file.
My Dropbox account... https://www.dropbox.com/sh/przt4eetzpp4oqf/AAB6X7RjTBilT-xH3p85p0X2a?dl=0
(1)... Connect your Tomtom to your PC USB port and turn it on
(2)... Run the TomPoiEdrEn.exe file; you should now have the SoftTop POI editor running.
(3)... Click on the Gold Star Icon (3rd Icon on the tool bar) a New filer Window opens
(4)... Find the Tomtom drive (Or one of your Backups)
(5)... Find and click on your installed Map.. (Mine was United_Kingdom_and_Republic_of_Ireland)
(6)... Click on the 'OK' Box
(7)... Click on the Softops POI editor... File Tab
(8)... Click on 'Save As'
(9)... Rename or accept the offered Name... Save to your Desktop

Note...I think the development SoftTop POI editor has stopped as you can no longer access Google Earth or Maps from within the program and the author does not reply to Email
