Transfer Favorites from TT-Mobile to Iphone

[Rhinode]

Hello!
I just bought an iphone and TomTom and now I am wondering how I can transfer my favorites from my old TomTom(WinMobile-Version) to the new Version on Iphone...
In Windows Mobile TomTom stored the favorites in the file MapSettings.cfg
My Iphone is Jailbroken, so filetransfer would be no problem.
But I couldn't find the MapSettings.cfg on my Iphone. It seems to store it differntly.

There is a tool called CustomPoiUtility where I can input new POIs, but this would be too much work.
But it shows me that it is possible to access this data on the Iphone-TomTom.

Anyone knowing something about this?
Thanks

Reinhard

Are you looking in the map folder for the mapsettings.cfg file?

folder

Are you looking in the map folder for the mapsettings.cfg file?

Yes, it's the Wetsern_Europe folder with the cline, cname, cnode etc. files.
But there is no MapSettings.cfg. Just a mapinfo.dat. But this file holds just some byte (i guess to identify the map).

Well, the iPhone experts will be along, I'm sure........

Check back into this thread.

I noticed an interesting thing, that could be of help.
Curious as I am I copied the old MapSettings.cfg to the Iphone maps folder.
The result was, that he cleared my favorites that I entered manually so far but didn't show the old favorites from the file.
I get an empty favorites screen, even if I delete the MapSettingsfile from my Iphone again.

But this shows, that the Iphone software still recognizes the old MapSetting.cfg and does "something" with it !?

Solution

ok, found a (bad) solution by myself:
- Install Freeware program PoiEdit on your PC
- Load MapSettings.cfg from old TomTom Installation
- Save as MyFavorites.OV2
- Copy to Iphone-Maps dir
- In TomTom View the Map, change options to show just your
MyFavorites-POIs .
- Zoom out and select every POI then click on blue right button
and add to favorites.

=> Still some work but better than nothing
