 |
|
Anyone know how to remove Waypoint that are stored in the "Favorites"
using a computer?
Everytime I change the "current.gpx" file to remove them, The file
allways gets restored!
Does the Nuvi have it backup someware?
Thanks

Why do it on a computer? On my 660 it deletes as follows:
Where to? - Favourites - Select the one you want to remove - Edit - Delete
I guess that your 200 will be a similar logic. |

You can't

Current.gpx is the backup...
When the Nüvi boots, it scans the file system (and the SD card) for .gpx files. Any new entries that it finds are added to the list of Favourites. This list is in a location that is inaccessible to the outside world. For whatever reason - accident probably - Current.gpx is included in this scan. When all the new Favourites have been added, the list is written out to Current.gpx, overwriting its previous contents.
To delete Favourites, you have to use the functionality built-into the Nüvi's interface - i.e. manually. You can delete them one at a time, or blow all of them away at once. The one thing you can't do, is selectively delete batches of them. |
