How can I backup my Favorites (Favourites) from my VIA 1605?

How can I backup my Favorites from my VIA 1605?
Instructions on the TomTom site say to use "Manage community content" but that commend does not exist in my "MyDrive Connect" software.
I tried installing TomTom Home but it does not recognize my device.
