3790 favorites

 

Seems I cannot get any sub categories to stick. As an example I would have a favorite named "Overtime sports". High-lite that in favorites. I then edit that poi and make a new category named Bicycle. Returning to Favorites, it doesn't show up. So I create another sub category in Overtime sports called bicycle1. Now returning to favorites it shows up. If I un-tick any one of those 2 Categories it all disappears, i'm left with no categories in Favorites.
Why won't this work for me? The unit does allow for creating categories inside of the Favorites tab.

Never

Never attempted to create categories inside the Favorites tab but I do create categories in Mapsource and then send them to my 3790. They have always remained on the 3790 and I'm able to add new favorites to those categories without any problems.

someone stating you had to have at least 2 categories before it worked.

Some of the last newer models that came out.You had to have I believe 12 favorites before you could assign a category.Not sure if that applies to the 3790.

Edit.When to search support Garmin to verify my post.Here is copy.

The nuvi 1100, 1200, 1300, 1400, 1600, 2200, 2300, and 3700 series devices will allow you to create categories in your Favorites, but you have to have at least 12 Favorites saved. Once you have 12 Favorites saved within the device, you can create and manage a category by following the steps below:
Touch Where To
Touch Favorites
Touch the Favorite location you wish to place in a new category
Touch the information bubble1
Touch Edit
Touch Change Categories or Categories
At this point you can either create a new category or add your Favorite into a pre-existing category.

All is true except it does not work with just one
category. When you create one category and then go back to your main window and hit "where to" and then favorites, you should see "all favorites" and under that another category, but you don't. Like I said above, if you make 2 then it works as long as you don't then un-tick one of them, then it all disappears. No point creating 2 categories for the same favorite.

Just tested that. It does work that way. Not sure why they did it that way. So... one needs two categories under Favorites at all times. Once they are created you can put whatever in there but there's no way of taking them out of Favorites. Getting kind of messy in there.
What i didn't want to do, is take the time to do it in Mapsource.

Thanks guys for the help.
