Hello Verna,

It depends how you loaded them. If you loaded them as External POI's then you can load a new file to over right the old one. If you put them in the unit as GPX files then you will need to delete the file the point is in. Lastly if you manually entered the point using the GPS units screen then you can delete the point by finding it in the Favorites menu and selecting edit then delete.

Cheers

I loaded my geocaches using GPX files downloaded from my computer (which had been downloaded to my computer from Geocaching.com. They were in a zip file and they were downloaded as a group. Do I need to delete them one by one? If so how do I access them on my Nuvi? What screen will give me the option to delete?

Hello Verna,

You will need to delete the files one by one. Just plug your GPS into your computer and it will act like a harddrive. Navigate the file system until you find the GPX files in question then delete. They will delete like a file on your computer.

Cheers
