moving addresses from a 265tw to a 1490

 

How do I move the addresses I have saved from one garmin (265tw) to another (nuvi 1490?

Do you mean favorites?

Are you talking about transfering your "favorites?"

Do you have Mapsource on your computer?

If so, it's easy to use Mapsource to "import" your favorites from the 265 and then "export" the favorites to your 1490.

Assuming you mean "favorites"

Assuming you mean "favorites", go to this Gary hayman page.
http://home.comcast.net/~ghayman3/garmin.gps/page15.htm
When you get to the page, hold down the CNTL key and press F (which will bring up a "find" funstion). Type in "Transfer" (without the quotes) and you will be taken about two-thirds down the article to "TRANSFERRING YOUR OLD FAVORITES TO YOUR NEW GARMIN"

I use MapSource

One click to copy from your old one, and then one click to copy to the new one.

Thanks
