Probably not, as the favaorites are stored in a data file which is unlikely to work with TT6 - it also stores other settings for TT which may or maynot be the same. However the installer should see TT5, and should (if previous versions are anything to go by) transfer your settings etc to the new program.

The easiest way to ensure compatability is to save sites as POI's instead of favourites.
These will be OV2 files, and are fairly standardised.

How can I convert favorites to POI's? All of them in one POI? Because I have a lot of favorites which address in the other side of my country and I nedd to keep them

My friend did an update and he says no favorites nor POI's where stored in TT6

Thanks

I don't think you can.

Hence why I store all my locations as POI's

I've just come across a program which seems to do what you are after.
