Favorites.dat and other saved preference files

Posted Sep 07, 2009 · 19:02 UTC#1

Is this the file I should save if I want to preserve my navi Favorites list when doing a FW update? Also, can I manipulate this file to change the order they are listed on the screen?

Are there other settings that are saved in files, such as bluetooth parings and radio presets? I'd like not to have to re-do all of that after a FW update.

Thanks.

My bluetooth pairing and contact list were prfeserved during the upgrade.

Favorites.dat is the right file. It's too binary to edit easily, though.

Thanks. Were your favorites saved as well? Or, did you have to manually copy the original favorites.dat file?

I think it cleared out everything in iGO\save, so I just copied them back.
