Where is my Trip Planner file stored (Nuvi 3590)

Former Member over 12 years ago

I created a simple trip on my Nuvi 3590. I went into Apps and Trip Planner. I called it First Trip. I then hooked it up to my computer via the usb cable. I then searched the Nuvi folders but I can't find a file called First Trip or anything that looks new.

I want to look at the gpx file that was created to see what I need to upload more trip from my own website.

Thanks for your help, John

Finding Trip Planner files on dezl 760

See my reply to your other post on importing trips.

The previous post on importing trips did not answer the question as I under stand it.
Here is my issue - I have made several trip planner files on my dezl 760. Now I want to back them up on a laptop for future use but remove from my Garmin.
What folder - on the Garmin - should I look in to find these files?

thanks

Simplest way is to use Basecamp http://www.garmin.com/en-GB/shop/downloads/basecamp

If you want the technical details (vs just getting the data through BaseCamp) open the GarminDevice.xml (plain text) file in the \Garmin folder on your 3590. That'll tell you where the unit stores data

Here's a part of the file in my 1490T. It stores everything in the

\GPX\Current.gpx

file. Other models do things differently.
