I used to have a Garmin and that let me group my favourites into categories or folders - for example I would put all my work related favourites in a groupd called 'Work'.

As far as I can see there isn't anything like this in TomTom - you just have one big list.

Have I got this correct or am I missing a trick somewhere.

Cheers,

Nigel

Don't store them as Favourites - convert them to POIs. That way you can have as many POI categories as you like (as long as you don't exceed 255!!)

... and if you name the POI categories with an underscore at the front:

"_Work"
"_Family"
"_Favourites"
etc.
...then they will appear at the top of the alphabetical list and so be quicker to find. Smile

I use my favourites as a `Via` function, always worked well for me.

And as POIs, you won't lose them (TT won't lose them for you!) when you get a new map.
