New Garmin to replace my C330

 

Just bought a Nuvi 250W to replace my old baseball sized C330. It still works but after updating one map over a year ago for $99.00 it made more sense to buy the Nuvi for $170.00. The C330 started to nag me about an update. Now I need to get my old POI files over which shouldn't be too hard although it doesn't mention custom POI's in the manual.

I also had c330 and recently

I also had c330 and recently bought Nuvi 760. C330's touch screen stated giving problems. I kept back up of all custom POI files on my PC. So transferring them back to Nuvi 760 was no issue. But I have to make make new Favorites in 760 becuase I don't see any way of copying or transferring them from c330.

New Garmin

Glad you got the 250W - nice! The C330 was a great GPS for its time but I am sure that by now you are fully appreciating the much faster 250W and the very much improved interface and satelite acquisition time!

If you have Mapsource you can transfer Favorites to Mapsource from your C330 as Waypoints and then transfer them back to your 760 as Favorites.
Very easy if you have Mapsource.

If you have GeePeeEx it will also transfer your favorites.

Mapsource Hummmm

I will try Mapsource and see if that works. The Red Light POI's are what I am interested in although most of the ones here in Edmonton are invalid now due to construction. I can upload the new list off the Edmonton Police Department's web page but I can't find where to submit these again. I think the last time I sent a post to Miss POI but can't find that link either.
