Backing up favorites... (Garmin Nuvi) Thu Dec 11, 2008 2:37 am
Backing up favorites...
1) On your computer, Make a folder named, "backup fav Garmin" (or whatever you want).
2) Connect nuvi to usb.
3) Browse to the drive labeled Garmin,
4) Then file folder name Garmin,
5) Then folder named "GPX,"
6) Copy the file named "current.gpx" to your computer (idem# 1).
In my case, E:\Garmin\GPX
current.gpx
7) Rename the file to, current1.gpx (on your computer).
Save this file regularly (make a back-up), as needed…
If you have a current.gpx and a current1.gpx, on the nuvi, the files will be merged with whatever you already have, and will be renamed as, Current.gpx, always save with a new number to differentiate between the saved files (on your computer)...
(If/ when you reload the back-up to the nuvi, copy file current1.gpx back to same location in nuvi. Once you have a current, current1, current2.gpx files, on the nuvi, you should delete the numbered, "current1.gpx," files from the GPS (save them as back-up, on your computer, as described above (you dont need to save them twice, as I am summarizing the process).
