I'm using a Streetpilot 2720, which I think pre-dates the Nuvi 350 and it exhibits the same problem as post 350 models, so it may be the 350 that's "broken". On my 2720 the breadcrumbs appear in the Favorites list rather than POI's. There is a utility for uploading custom POI's, but those commands may not be supported via the interactive environment of the Fleet Management Interface. 73 de AI4WU Chuck --- In [email protected], VE3ID <ve...@...> wrote: > > Thanks for that.
