First Post - Modifying existing GPX files

Before you ask, I did read MANY of the FAQ's, the Beginner Lessons and searched but evidently I'm not using the correct term. I downloaded and put onto my Garmin 2595 a couple of the smaller POIs for practice. They are both ESCAPEES campground locations. One was a CSV and the other a GPX file type. My question is, none of the locations actually had the name ESCAPEES in the field name which I would prefer so it is easier to search for them.

MY Question - I know how to modify the CSV file to add the word SKP or ESCAPEES but is there a way for me to modify the GPX file?

Thanks for your help.

Text Editor

Back to basics. You can open a GPX file with your favorite text editor that has a search/replace function. You will see the "<"name">" line in each POI. make your search "name>" with replace with "name>ESCAPEES". Save the file with a GPX extension.
