I recently did a Mapquest Route and it shows it being uploaded to my Nuvi 260. Where does this Route appear on my GPS when I want to use it? I thought is was under "Favorites" but I don't see it.

Thanks

The 260 does not have the route option.Best you can do is save as a gpx file and make a custom poi file out of it.

Thanks for reply. I think it was saved as a .gpx file because it ask me what I wanted to name it before it was uploaded to the unit.

On my 1490, I saved it into the uSD card(in gpx format if u choose to save as a 'route').
1. The ff. will save the file to your 'Routes'
Tools --> My Data --> Import Route(s) --> Select the route file --> Import
2. View the imported route.
Where To (or Tools) --> Routes --> Select route filename --> Go --> answer NO to 'Navigate to start of route if this is not the starting location'.
