Categories

 

Since this is my first Garmin (VIA Nuvi 66) I'm having a difficult time with the different functions, I have figured most of them out but right now I cannot figure out how to enter different categories(custom categories/POI,s) to my routes. I have a number of these categories on my Micro SD card that I use often)Thanks for any step by step help.

More info, please

Category is a word that can be associated with 1) Saved Places/Favorites, or 2) Custom POIs. Which are you asking about?

Exactly what kind of file(s) associates with "categories" are on the SD card?

Manual

If you haven't looked in manual, it will answer many of your questions.

(And no, it's not the quick start manual included in the box.O

Not sure but is this what you are looking for?
