NEED HELP
We've noticed a linebreak problem with the nuvi 350, and need to determine which Garmin GPS it affects, especially nuvi's. I'd like this information before I again approach Garmin about this issue.
I’ve posted an Iowa Rest Area POI. The admin was nice enough to include a ‘nuvi 350 modified POI' under "Attachments".
Here’s the scoop on the two files:
IA Rest Areas.csv: This is a standard 4 column POI file with a line break in the comments column after the colon (. This line break does not display with the nuvi 350.
_IA Rest Areas.csv (nuvi line breaks): This file is exactly like the previous file except the LF in the comments column is replaced with a HTML coded linebreak (<br>). This displays a line break after the colon with the nuvi 350.

Three questions:
1. Which Garmin GPS do you have?
2. Does the standard file display line breaks correctly?
3. How does the modified file display on your GPS?
(Try several POI's in each file to be sure the break is caused by the forced line break and not caused by word-wrap.)
I sure would appreciate your help. Thanks.

Standard file displays correctly
Modified file does not: the bracketed br displays on screen

Standard file displays correctly on i2. The modified version shows and wraps only when the text hits the edge of the screen.
I would assume the same is true for i3 and i5 as well.
