Garmin Nuvi 680 - which file format?

 

Greetings,

What format of download should I use for my Garmin Nuvi 680?
GPX?
CSV Regular line breaks?
CSV Nuvi 350/360 line breaks?
CSV no line breaks?

Paper or plastic?

Tooo many choices,

I could use some advice,
Thanks,

Just to explain why the differences:
1. w/standard lines breaks: works on most GPSs.
2. w/nuvi 350/360 line breaks: are required for nuvi 350 and nuvi 360 to correctly display line breaks as they have a problem displaying standard line breaks. (only two we are presently aware of).
3. w/no line breaks: for those who have devices or software that have problems with line breaks.

The POI information is exactly the same except for the line break info.

your 680 will support the csv and gpx files. When loaded to your 680 via the poi loader you won't have a problem with either.

Your amount of choices has only just begun.
recycle the plastic.
