nuvi 66 - Easiest way to delete saved locations
Djinn
80 Points
I have several dozen locations saved on my GPS that I will never use again. I tried copying "Current.gpx" to my desktop, deleting the locations with GPX_Editor*, and copying the edited file back to the Garmin, but the deleted locations somehow persist.
What's the trick here? Many thanks.

It's easier simply to delete the locations using the menu on your nuvi :)
The file Current.gpx is not used for anything on the Nuvi, it is re-created everytime the device starts up. It contains a copy of data that's stored in protected memory you can't access. But if any other .gpx files are stored on the device, they will be imported the next time it starts up. This can cause waypoints to reappear when you deleted them before.
