I recently purchased a Garmin Nuvi 650 and have since used it to help me with my Garage Sale needs.
Now, when I want to go garage sale’ing I’ll look up all of the addresses in the paper and copy and paste them into a text file list this:
2868 West 230 North, Provo
401 North 2330 West, Provo
1020 W. 1020 S. Provo
1453 S 760 W Provo
Then I go to the following GPS Translation website:Â http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/geocoder/
I enter the list of addresses there and click “Start Geocoding”.
The result is a comma delimited list of coordinates with the address.
I then click “Create a GPX File”. I then save that GPX file onto my Nuvi in the Garmin/GPX folder. This puts them into my favorites.
Finally, for added measure, I print out a map of the coordinates – using that same webpage and order the addresses according to the route I want to take. I print out that list of addresses and use that to select the next item in my favorites on the GPS.
This has really made garage sale’ing easy and fun!
