Launch the application:

1. Edit -> Preferences -> Waypoints Categories
2. You can rename any categories at page what you want to use in Nuvi as you are prefered.
3. Open your GPX file that was Tom-Tom made.
4. You must select on list pane your favourites for desired categories (all mouse operation as for Windows)
5. Make right click and choose for Waypoint properties.
6. Assign categories for favourites with checkbox. Also you can choose - Display: Symbol & Name. At last case you can choose Symbol which will be shown on your device.
7. After managing of all favourites was performed you must save data as GPX format on PC disk.
8. Copy file to device in GPX folder with any name but not current!
9. Restart device and check the result.
P.S. 10. If you do not want to restore saved favourites in this file after HARD RESET of unit you must delete this temp file after successful import.

BaseCamp is a very good free Garmin application but I do not love all in one glass!

Yeah thanks I'm familiar with this method, but hat it means is if you arrive in a location and wish to add it to a POI list you must note the location, wait til you get to a computer, load up basecamp, find the location on the map and enter it then transfer to computer. Totally barmy if you ask me.

I could simply add it as a favourite in a couple of clicks but then I can't get my hundreds of other POI's in as favourites unless I add each one manually. Another time wasting, mind numbing task. And then there's only a limit of 1000

Do you try had made only 8-9 step with your GPX file in this case?
I do the same operation about thousands time because I usually get load for loading POI on competitions of any kind. Mapsource need for me only for confidence what all POI from me and other administrative member will be accepted by Garmin units.
