We just bought a 2nd GPS and I have a couple of questions about copying favorites and poi's.

1. If I wanted to transfer my Favorites from the old GPS to the new GPS, what file(s) do I need to copy?

2. If I wanted to transfer my POI's from the old GPS to the new GPS, what file(s) do I need to copy?

Thank you in advance for your information.

Favorite and pois

Connect 1st gps unit to computer.Go to Garmin folder and then click Gpx folder.You will see current.gpx make copy and save on computer.This is favorites.

Garmin folder again,then click poi folder and you will see poi.gpi make copy and put on computer.This is the custom pois.

Dis-connect 1st unit and connect the 2nd one.Go to Gpx folder and click on it and paste current.gpx in that folder.You may need to re-name to temp.gpx

Paste copy of poi.gpi inside the poi folder.Reboot.
