Lost favourites ...

After an issue with my N97 where I was unable to do any backups from the phone to the internal memory card, I reformatted and reinstalled the apps to my N97 (making sure I did a backup using PC Suite before hand).

 

Upon restoring the PC Suite image, I found that it didn't restore the list of favourites which have meant that I've lost them all - I'm sure I remember that the backup to memory card did make a copy of them, but as I wasn't able to do this, this wasn't a possible solution .....

 

Luckily, Google Maps have most of my starred items (favourites) saved, (barring the one I managed to unstar by accident), but it appears as if Google doesn't store the actual co-ordinates and doesn't allow them to be exported ... :smileysad:

 

So in short - is there anyway at all I can get my favourites back ?????

Regards,

Edward

Re: Lost favourites ...

Did you sync your favorites to your ovi account? if so syncing the maps to your ovi account would bring back the favorites.

Try to use maps.ovi.com in to look for your favorite places and set them there. Afterward, sync it with your phone.
