Transfer Favorites to New Nuvi
Red
from my old one.
If it's a drag and drop, what is the filename-- or is there an easier
way to move them?

what model was your old GPS ?
Just connect your old GPS via USB,
go find the /GPX/ folder, and the CURRENT.GPX file
that's the backup of the FAVS
just copy across...
You might also be interested in an editing program
to take the FAVS and potentially add them as grouped POI's
or modify them in some other manner.
I tend to mark things using FAVS,
then copy the file, edit each item,
and create a group of POI's
which I later upload via the Garmin POI Loader program.

Will this work moving from a 200w to a 255W? Do you have to first
delete the old current.gpx file?
