Garmin provides MapSource as a free download
It lets you:
import Favorites from one nuvi
review and update them and then
export them back to another nuvi
The problem is that it deletes all the phone numbers in the process
SO,
1-BE SURE YOU KEEP SOME LIST OF YOUR FAVORITES WITH THE PHONE NUMBERS
2-DO NOT EXPORT THE FILE BACK TO THE SOURCE NUVI IF YOU NEED THE PHONE NUMBERS
The cure

Extra POI Editor from Turbo corrects this problem. Mapsource doesn't use all the fields and tags available in a GPX file (which your Favs are) so a lot of data gets lost in the transfer.
Illiterate? Write for free help.
Get MapSouuce 6.16.3
The phone number field was fixed in one of the later updates. Get MapSource 6.16.3 and it does not lose phone numbers.
