Transfer "favorites" from one GPS to another

I have recently purchased a Garmin Nuvi 285W. I had an older Garmin C340(?). Is there any way to transfer files from my old GPS to the new Nuvi 285W??

Transfer favorites

Do this:

1. Connect the Garmin using a USB cable
2. Open the My Computer icon
3. Go to Nuvi drive and then open the Garmin folder
4. Copy GPX folder (Ctrl-C)
5. Copy the GPS folder to your PC
6. To add the favorites to another unit, open the GPX folder and copy the current file into the second device (in the same place you found the original on the first one)

Finished...
