Garmin favourite location details to Mercedes Command upload

Hi all, I hope you can help. I have a garmin nuvi 1440, with approx 100 favourite locations stored in it . (work addresses)
I now have a new Mercedes A class with a full i-drive and Command system.
How do I up-load my saved favourites onto the address file in this Comand system please ? Thanks Nick

Hi Nick,
Can you connect the Garmin to your PC and browse it's files. Can you find any GPX file with your favourites?
Save it to your PC and convert to MB file.
I used this to transfer my tomtom files: https://www.gps-data-team.com/convert/
Does it help?
Cheers

Converting POIs

Hi, thanks for your help... but where on
https://www.gps-data-team.com/convert/
is the option for MB file please ?
I can only see GPX Mercedes, and when converted, neither of these files open due to an error, "The Open GPX File command could not be completed. The .gpx file Current_Mercedes.gpx could not be opened. This is not a valid file. Found <gpx:gpx> at the beginning of the file "
Thanks

Re: converting POIs

Nick, that message means that the file is empty. How many POI lines can you see if you convert and export your files as a CSV file and open it with Notepad? Try to change or remove search and country filters and download that file again.
