Author Transfering Favorites from TT910 to Garmin?
Greybeard

Can it be done?

I've now got my new Zumo and would like to get all my business favs out of
the TT910 (cos I'm selling it!) and into the Zumo. Preferably without having
to write them all in!
Can some kind knowledgeable person point me in the right direction please?
Google is not being very helpful to me on this one ;o)

TIA

Did your TT 910 have any interface with a PC? Anything for uploading or
downloading user data? If so, what were the file types?

If there is, there might be a way to get those into MapSource and then
upload them to the Zumo.

I used TT 5 on a PDA for a while and never really found that it had any
kind of interface with PCs. I know that the favorites on TT 5 were
stored in a *.cfg file in a map folder but Tom Tom does not seem to have
much flexibility as far as users being able to save off or manipulate
their data.

We can still try to help hack the data once it's out of the unit.

Good idea! Here is a link to a file from my Tom Tom 5 Navigator SD
card. It has a bunch of favorites in it but it is not ASCII text and I
can't figure out how to open it (lots of non-printing characters):

I'd be interested in hearing more about it if you'd like to look at that.
