Hello Doug,
Good answer. I had not a clue what the nüvi sort order was.
Having the sort by proximity seems reasonable, but limited.
I generally create waypoints by name with common prefixes, eg:
AIRPORT OAK
AIRPORT SFO
AIRPORT SJC
HOME Billy Bob
HOME Jessica May
HOME Sue Ellen
HOTEL Embassy Suites San Jose
HOTEL Hilton San Diego
HOTEL Marriott San Francisco
etc
What frustrated me was the nüvi just won't let me do this!
- It won't STAY on capital letters.
- It won't ORDER by alphabetical name.
- It won't REUSE any letters (you must type everything all over)
- It won't MARK waypoints by type (hotel, airport, home, etc)
- You can't even FIND the letters easily without a QWERTY keyboard.
Since the nüvi is so miserable at editing waypoints, I will definately try
your other suggestion and write back the results. There MUST be a way to
make this nüvi usable or all the reviews wouldn't have recommended it (or
are the reviewers all blind?)
best
