Use GPSVisualizer to View Tracks/Routes on Your Garmin Nuvi 770

GPSVisualizer (not affiliated with this site) is a neat online utility that allows you to upload your 770's information and view it graphically.

Disclaimer: you assume all responsibility for the use of these instructions.  I am not liable for any damage to your GPS or any consequences of following these instructions or any inaccuracies contained herein. If you are not comfortable with this, you should not proceed.

 

Plug your 770 into your PC via the USB cable.
Go to the filesystem of your 770.  On a Windows machine, you can double-click 'My Computer' and look for a drive named 'Garmin Nuvi' (mine's the J: drive, yours will probably be different).  Open it up, then go into the Garmin\GPX directory.
Look for the file called 'Current.gpx' and copy it someplace memorable (like your Desktop).
In your browser, go to http://www.gpsvisualizer.com .  On the main page, look for the 'Get Started Now' box.  Next to the 'Upload a GPS file' box, click the 'Browse' button, and find the 'Current.gpx' file you just copied.
Click 'Go' to get a map with all of your tracks listed.
There's other stuff you can do too -- explore around the site.
