Favorites are saved in the file:
/opt/sygic/Maps/dnk/favorites.upi

To back it up:
Code:
root
cp -p /opt/sygic/Maps/dnk/favorites.upi /home/
-- Update to SMM10 --

To restore it:
Code:
root
cp -p /home/favorites.upi /opt/sygic/Maps/dnk/
I don't have SMM10 yet so I can't try it out (don't know if the favorites.upi file has been moved in SMM10), but after installing SMM10 and BEFORE restoring the file You could always look for the favorites.upi file first:

Code:
root
find /opt -name favorites.upi

Let me try it out on my device...

What I'll do is:

1) Move the favorites file.
2) Start SMM9.
3) See if the favorites are gone.
4) Move it back.
5) Repeat 2+3.
6) Get back to You...

EDIT -> Just tried it out and it worked as expected. When removing the file my favorites were gone. When putting it back in place they re-appeared... Unless Sygic has decided to save favorites in a new way on SMM10 it should work (tm)...

Oh... There's a Thanks! button... Feel free to use it (too)...

At the moment the software is very confusing and am having to rely upon looking at the map and not listening to the voice.

Anyone have similar issues?
Anyone having these issues described above?

Back to favorites, I found them in /home/user/MyDocs/Maps/ita and che because I have favorite places both in Italy and Switzerland.
Sol if you want to backup them (and I advice to do that, because after installing smm10 I had to reconstruct them all) you better issue a
Code:
find /home/user -name favorites.upi
and save the found files elsewhere.

Hi,

can you please provide an example where exactly is this happening? In order to investigate the issue, we need to simulate the situation at its exact location and direction.

Thanks a lot.

Sygic Support.
