Did anyone else notice this on his/her 660?
When trying to save a location into Favorites as "whatever @ wherever" (w/o quotes, of course!), the @ symbol never appear in the locations's name after saving it in the first place! the saved name is always displayed as "whatever wherever".
To nonetheless add the @ symbol I must Edit favorite's name...
Never Noticed
I've never noticed that, but you are correct. I just tried it on my 660.

That symbol is a special character in the scheme of constructing the file within the GPSr and has to do with alerts - putting something in quotes makes the symbol get treated as text and not a trigger for an alert.

1 - As stated in my original post, I'm NOT using any quotes when typing a favorite's name; those quotes were only to emphasize the whatever @ wherever's syntax in the post;
2 - if @ is treated as a such special character in constructing the file, why does it appear at the second attempt to place it in by editing Favorite's name?

In poi files, if you have an @ symbol, it sees it as a speed and not part of the name, I wonder if it is doing the same here.

That is not what he said. If it is not in quotes, it is treated as a special symbol. If it is inside quotes, it is treated as text.
When you edit the name, you are not loading it through POILoader, you are editing what is on the machine.
Please let me know if I got any of this wrong as far as my understanding of what was said.
