I am hoping that this is an easy question to answer... but HOW do I change the home location on my Nuvi 260. The Garmin webpage is useless for this!

I've recommended this to others looking for help. Gary Hayman is a regular on POI Factory and his website should have what you're looking for.

Have look!

Your HOME location is one of your Favorites. Just hit EDIT and then DELETE. Then create a new HOME address.

Nuvi 660 -- and not upgrading it or maps until Garmin fixes long-standing bugs/problems, and get maps to where they are much more current, AND corrected on a more timely basis when advised of mistakes.

Yes smile this is very helpful too! I kept searching for a way to edit home when you click on it, but then it just started calculating the route... soo annoying!
