Load Outlook Contacts to TomTom POI's?
Discussion
There's no direct way of doing this, without using third party software (most of which is free.)
You need to export the outlook contacts to a .csv file (tabled spreadsheet data) which is one of the only export formats that is generic enough to work with elsewhere... You now need to geocode these results into latitude/longitude etc.
Google for PoiEdit and GeePeeEx Editor, and also "Outlook Contacts to POI" for a few other forums that go into this in more detail.
I haven't done any of this myself, but hopefully this will point you in the right direction.
Until then one can only hope for Microsoft to release a suitable export format/built in geocode addon!

Ought to be pretty simple to do in Outlook. Create user defined field for the Contacts and fill with a standard format eg N or + for north and S or - for south, then a comma, then ditto for East and West, then comma and name/comment.
Either export as mentioned above to csv or write a very small piece of vba code to write them to the well known standard formats for most gps units.
And no I'm not volunteering!
