Modify that to---
Copy favorites from my old GPS onto my computer so I can reinstall them
onto the new one I will get later. Keeping the old one until I get the
new one is not possible.
How can I transfer my favorites from my old nuvi to a new one?
Please follow the steps below for copying your Favorites.
1. Connect your Nuvi to the computer with your USB cable. It will then
go into Mass Storage Mode.
2. Open up 'My Computer' on your desktop.
3. Open up the Nuvi drive. Usually it will say Nuvi E:.
4. Next, I would like for you to open up the 'Garmin' folder.
5. You will see a 'GPX' folder. I need you to open that one up.
6. There will be a 'current.gpx' file in your unit. Right click on the
file and hit 'Copy'.
7. Go to your desktop, right click and hit 'Paste'. This will put that
file, which is your favorites, onto your desktop.
8. Right click on the file, select ‘Rename’. Rename the file to
‘current1.gpx’.
To transfer your favorites to a different unit:
1. I want you to do steps 1-5 from above with the second device.
2. Go to your desktop, and copy the current1.gpx file you put on there.
3. Go to the GPX folder and paste the file here. You will now have two
files in this folder. Leave both of them there.
This will put your favorites into the second device.
