Adding a comment to Favorite

 

I am a complete newbie, so if this is a bonehead question, please forgive me.

When adding a Favorite location, I see no place to enter a comment, eg Suite number, name of a contact person, how well they tip etc.

I do see room for a phone number, but we are limited to numerics.

Is there something I am missing?

thank you!

Model?

What model do you have?

Sorry, should have included that.

I have a Garmin 765T, with both MSN and regular traffic.

I will take a look at the link you mention.
thanks

On the 'puter too.

I haven't tried the "use the address first" method mentioned in that link (thanks for that! Going to try it). As Homer says, Doh!

Other ways to add more than the phone number are doing it "outside" of the device, on your PC.

There are a few ways to do that..search for using & creating and/or editing a CSV or GPX file.

PS- I didn't really notice your screen name when I wrote that! Wasn't meant personally!! ..Doh! (again).

It's about the Line- If a line can be drawn between the powers granted and the rights retained, it would seem to be the same thing, whether the latter be secured by declaring that they shall not be abridged, or that the former shall not be extended.

On the 765 you can save a

On the 765 you can save a favorite then go back and edit it.You get option to change name, add photo change map symbol, change phone number, change categories and delete.When you save the favorite it will establish a category for it under favorites you can touch new in edit and add your own.

You may just want to make a gpx file for custom pois.That will allow you to add comments.For a excellent program to do that see http://www.poi-factory.com/node/21156 .

No foul

No insult taken.

Try this for your favorites.

Hope i can get this right, IF you use google maps, put in the address you want, after it comes up, click on send, then select gps, when that screen comes up the address will be blued out, you can make that anything you want. I normally use just the address cause i know i am in jacksonville, fl, so i just delete the city out, then you can move down to the phone number, this dont just take numbers, it will take alphabet letters, you can say anything you want in it, then send it to your gps, try it if you hadnt already figured it out, then it shows up in your favorites with no editing. pretty cool. This will not work in mapquest, they dont give you any options like google maps.
