Hi All,
I currently have a 540 and the map/traffic sub has just expired.
With the cost of new maps and live services iam thinking of getting a newer model.
Now i store my customers on my 540.
If i transfer these to the new device and continue to add to them via the new device, Can i back them up onto my pc from the device.
I need a new model just for the uk with live services and map updates.

The newer devices require MyTomTom and when you connect your device to the computer, you will be able to access a link called 'Add Community Content' where you can add custom poi files, car icons etc.

Once you have installed your poi files to the unit, you also CAN copy them to the computer from the device.

That same screen can save your favourites on the device to the computer as a custom poi file as well.............
