I've googled all it's worth, but I can't find a way to import
favorites to the 540. Is it possible? POI's are OK, but it's a few
steps easier to get to the favorites - or is there a shortcut / trick
to just show MY favorites, and not every gas station, restaurant, etc
that I'm missing?

I had a TomTom One XL I think years ago, and I could have sworn I
could import favorites...

Thanks :)

Evan

The Favourites are in files called mapsettings.cfg (one per map folder) along
with Home Address and Recent Destinations. Unless you are happy to move all
of those as one group you might find that the easy and safe way to move
Favourites into archives or between devices is to first copy them into a POI
file and then move that file around.

I should have mentioned that.. Yes, I did find that it's called
mapsettings.cfg, but haven't found a way to 'edit' or copy my POI's to
a mapsettings.cfg.

One by one. Click on a Favourite then save that position as a POI.
