convert garmin waypoints to tomtom favorites and back

[TOWINGUK]

hi
Sorry if I am missing something but I just can not find the answer in any posts
What I would like to do is convert garmin waypoints to tomtom favorites, (or tomtom to garmin). and possibly merge data from both formats in to two new files one for tomtom and one for garmin I have saved the waypoint in garmin mapsource the opened the file in a poi editor but don’t seem to be able to save it as the required .cfg for tomtom . I can open my .cfg tomtom file but can not save to garmin

Thanks in advance

Why Favorites? Why not POI?

Hello
The reason POIs are no use is that when I convert form garmin to tomtom poi I lose the description, but any ideas would be appreciated , what I need to do is compile a list of venues use for of road sporting event, the list will be contributed to by lots of users

Why would you lose the description? What program are you using?

Hello again

I tock on board what you said about poi and its amazing what a nights sleep and a cup of strong black coffee can do

So the way I did it for any one else who may look at this in the future is to save garmin waypoints as *.gpx
Using PoiEdit (http://www.poiedit.com/ )open the new file

Then save as *.ov2

But most of you all new that anyway
