exporting favourites?

It seems that if you update maps all favourites are lost. Experimenting with overwriting the new config file with the previous one preserves some of the favourites but I'm still losing 60% of them. I can;t seem to find any add-on or method of exporting favourites so they could be be re-entered after updatign the map. Am I missing something, surely this is a basic requirement?

(sorry if this has been covered before and I;ve missed it)

create a new POI category, add your favourites either manually or using poiedit (which can read the map.cfg and save as a Poi, the latest version 3.8 can only read TTN5 config files it baulks at TTN3)
These aren't lost during a map update.

You could of course also make a settings backup first, before updating, and afterwards restoring your settings backup.
You can do this via th backup/restore option on your CD or mapdownload installer.
This only works properly if you are updating to identical map name
