I have tried the email method, and it worked in transferring my Favorites to my iPad. I had to confirm a couple of the locations on my iPad, but the transfer did work.

My take on it in this review is that, at least this limited email support is a step in the right direction. Navigon certainly has more work to do as far as data backup goes. Consdiering that this is one of the big remaining negative comments that they get in iTunes reviews, I think they will implement a full backup solution in the next version. If they don’t I will definitely call them on it.

I’ve got three iOS devices and some of the information gets transferred, some doesn’t.
I’ve read a negative review on the iTunes store for the USA app and I agree with Icermize, this method is flawed and you run the risk of erasing the favorites on the device you wish to update. It really is a bad method and should be mentioned.
Great review otherwise
