POI maintenance and synchronization

You can add Favorites on the Nuvi, but you can't add to your Custom POI's from the Nuvi.

But I know where you're coming from. I often add a location or want to update the position of an existing POI. So I save my current location, and it goes into Favorites. But I really want it in one of my Custom POI lists. The only way to do that is on the computer. Using a tool like GeePeeEx or Extra POI Editor, load the original saved POI file from the computer, then import favorites. That will pull in the Favorites that were saved on the fly. Edit/update as required and re-save the POI file back to the computer. Run POILoader to replace the POI files on the GPS and then lastly delete them from Favorites.

Cumbersome, but that's how it's done.

Thanks,

I suspected that it might not be a "clean" process but I'll take a look at the two programs that you listed (I was not aware of them) and give it a shot. I'd really like to get my process nailed down before i start loading a bunch of stuff so I don't have to re-format it later.
