ID GPS coordinates of places saved in "Favorites"

I have a Garmin c550. I would like to put some of my places saved in "Favorites" into a .cvs file so they can be transfered to my "Extras" location.

How do I find the coordinates?

.

You actually don't need to do anything other than make the file containing the (backup of the) Favourites accessible to POI Loader.

Copy x:\Garmin\GPX\Current.gpx to the location of your choice and specify that directory to POI Loader. If you convert it to .csv first, whatever software you use will have to discard a lot of the useful information contained in the gpx file.

(where x: is the drive letter assigned to the C550)
