Is there anyway to download favorites in bulk? I have over 25 and have to click each one to download to my PC if I loose them.

Hmmm ...

Not quite sure what you mean, you can copy them into Basecamp in one go. Is that what you're after?

Do you really mean POI Files?

The way the question is phrased - using the word download - it almost seems as if you are asking about your "favorite" POI files.

POISync

If you are talking about downloading your favorites the POI Factory then POISync is the tool to do it. It can be set up to batch download any number of files and rename them and organize them as well.

There is a link on the site somewhere to it. Sorry I didnt grab the link before posting this response.

If the links don't work I can email it to you

Looks like the above link has bit the dust.There are several sites referenced but this one seems to be the only one that still works.
