is there an easy way to tweak a saved favorite without recreating it?
There are some favorites that I've created that i just want to move over a few feet, so that I always "hit the target" when routing to them.
That's clear right? Like when I saved a location in a good parking spot but when I go back, I don't get the good spot; or I'm picking someone up and don't drive to the front of the building, and the Favorite is a Via Point, so I don't ever "arrive" -- so you take off to the final destination and the GPS insists you must make a U- Turn immediately. So then I have to Stop and reselect the final destination from Recently Found.
Bah!

Yes

The easiest way is to use GeePeeEx Editor and import your favorites, move them on the map provided and then export to Favorites. I agree it is a mess when you can't reach a via.

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.

Thanks

I was hoping for a way to do it immediately in the unit, but I totally spaced that I could probably do it off the unit! Talk about tunnel vision...
