Garmin Favorites

 

Is there anyway to catagorize the favorites area of a Garmin nuvi 660 and nuvi 765T. I travel allot being a bus driver and it would be so helpful to be able to put favorites from each city into a folder for that city. I have that in my customs POI folder... Now I just need to have it in my Favorites...

BTW Ill keep my 660 over the new 765t anyday.

Thanks for any advice!

On my 765t, once I have gotten to one of my Favorites entries, I see "Edit" on the bottom right. When I select "Edit", I see several four options with a down arrow indicating more options. When I press the down arrow, I see "Change Categories". Selecting that gives me the default Ccategories available to me. There is a "New" option at the bottom. Select it and type in a new Category.

THANKS Ill give that a try

Select the favorite you want

Select the favorite you want to edit and touch edit.You should get a selection of categories after you touch change category.Put check mark in the category you want.If you don't see any thing you like touch new at bottom of screen and type in what you want.The 660 does not have this option.

When you used Edit > Change Category > New and then typed in a Category for the Favorite you selected, it was automatically put in that category.

A Garmin favorite can belong to multiple categories at once. On the 765 it can belong to as many as 16 categories.

If you delete the favorite, regardless of which category you used to filter and find it, it is gone permanently. Once deleted you will no longer find it listed under any category.
