A couple of years ago I loaded a bunch of caches onto my Nuvi, went out and found them, and deleted them. Last year I found them back on the Nuvi and deleted them again. Today I found them back on the Nuvi again. Anyone know how to delete something from a Nuvi, short of placing it behind the rear wheel before backing out of the parking area.
You can delete the GPX file, which doesn’t do the job because they’ll come right back, as you found out. There are supposedly two ways to permanently get rid of them. One way is to reset the unit to its factory defaults. But then any other saved locations are gone too. There is another way that Garmin once mentioned to me in a tech support call, but I went the reset route and don’t recall what it was.
It’s interesting to note that in Garmin handheld GPSr’s all you have to do is delete the GPX file. But in automobile Nuvi’s that way doesn’t work.
From time to time I just reset my Nuvi, and re-enter my home coords.
