GARMIN NuVi gps- can i tell it a spot to come back to?

Question

Im living on an Army post and the gps isnt great on it but is there a way I can be at a spot, leave, and tell it to go back to that spot? Like let it know the coordinates of spot A which isnt in the GPS, go to spot B and somehow retrace my steps???

Answer 1

On Nuvi, the feature you're looking for is called "Favorites".    You can create them on the handheld when you search for an address  or you can create them on a computer.   You can then GOTO->Favorites->[Pick from that list] to go back to your spot A.

You didn't say which Nuvi you have (there are > 30!) but the low end units don't store tracks so you can't "retrace your steps", but even they can street route you back to Spot A.
