Creation date for Favorites?

Is there a way to determine the date a favorite was created on your GPSr? We're trying to figure out when we first visited a certain location and I had sent the address to my Nuvi 260 from Google Maps just before we went there. I still have the location as a favorite.

This would be a handy

This would be a handy feature for me...I use my GPS favorites for warranty customers. I could delete the out of date favorites?

One suggestion

One suggestion that may help is that every time you SEND an item to your GPS from Google Maps, Mapquest, or Bing Maps a GPX file is created in the Garmin/GPX folder of the Nuvi's internal storage. When you reboot the device after the SEND the Nuvi reads this gpx file and incorporates the information into the current.gpx file (favorites).

Although the name of the gpx file created by Google doesn't mean much to anyone, having it in the Garmin/GPX folder with a Date Created or Date Modified could assist you in what your looking for.
