How can I restore my own places to my new Tomtom device if I accidentally deleted them on my old device?
 
If your old GPS connects to Mydrive, you should be able to retrieve them, your new GPS has your Mydrive account with the same login credentials.
If your places were deleted on your Mydrive account, it is no longer possible to recover them.
 
I was able to download my data in a json file in the Tomtom MyDrive settings/MYDRIVE menu! But how do I get my saved places back?

lezlike.gl_MyDrive.json.gz

I downloaded this, but how do I know how to refund my own places?

Unfortunately, I don't know if the json file is loaded, because it only recognizes ov2 files and Garmin gpx files! Maybe if someone could help me how to load the json file?

I managed to load the dump file, but I don't have all the poi. However, if I open it with an editor with TC, I can see all the old saved addresses!

The tomtompoi tool (above) can also be used to directly open the *.gz file that you downloaded from TomTom, and extracts your favorites from that file. You can then save all of the favorites that you would like to an *.ov2 file. It's very convenient. You can call the *.ov2 file _Favorites. The underscore keeps it right at the top of the MyPlaces POI list.
 
I managed to open the gz file, but it no longer contained only "home" and "workplace", it is likely that the others were deleted when I deleted it from the sold TT. Synchronization was not turned off! Thanks!
