Can I sync Start 25 with Start 52?

AlanR47

I have a Start25 and a Start52, and the latter is starting to play up annoyingly. I have already successfully Sync the 52 with MyDrive, and following a recent factory reset on the 52 have successfully sync all my data back onto the device.

Is there any way I can sync the 25 with the data previously synced from the 52?

Hi
A direct sync is not possible.
But you can import the "myPlaces" to your start 25 in an .ov2 Poi format.

@YamFazMan has described it here.

Then import the new .ov2 Poi file via "manage community content" and myDrive Connect

Wow that was interesting.

First I tried using MyDrive Route Planner to make the .ov2 and followed the instructions and got to Download your MyDrive data, clicked it and nothing happened. I expected to be asked where to save the .ov2 file, but was not.

In your latest email, as suggested I installed the latest version of MyDrive Connect (v4.2.7.3966). When run - right clicking on Taskbar icon does not produce any option to Manage Community Content (I am running Windows 7 if that makes any difference).

I then moved on to Method2 to get at Manage Community content page directly and this worked as expected but with no .ov2 of my current data I could do no more.

Then I found an old .ov2 made a while ago of places on the Isle of Wight, and used Manage Community to install this on my STart25. I worked. But it is slightly out of date but at least proved the Manage Community page does what was expected.

So my sticking point at the moment, how do I make ov2 files of my current data, presently sitting on TomTom cloud?

Thanks.
