Waypoints won't transfer

Wondering if anybody might have anny thoughts or theories on this; waypoints that I transfer to my Nuvi 885T no longer show up on the unit. In the past I've successfully transferred numerous points using Bing and Google (USB and wireless). Although everything appears normal when I make the transfer and I get the appropriate response from the program in use, regarding locations sent, nothing shows up on the Nuvi. Anybody else experience this?

are you looking in favorites?

Check favorites. That's where they are on mine.

That's where I normally find them too

but they're not there, or anywhere else I can think to look (my data, MSND).

Power reset

Try a power reset. After transferring, shut down, remove and reinstall the battery, then boot back up. On the 8xx series sometimes the "sleep mode" prevents it from refreshing the file list.

Connect the GPS to your PC

Connect the GPS to your PC and then look in the (nuvi drive):\Garmin\GPX folder for a new (xxxx).GPX file with the date and time stamp for when the transfer took place.

If the transfer took place ther should be a new gpx file that will load on the next boot up.
