I have just got a Nuvi 50 and need some advice about using the database with it
I have can see two options for use with the POILoader:
1. Consolidated by type
2. Speed Zoned Complete
What's the difference between them and which is better?
Also the are two choices of sound files: mp3 & wav.
Again which should I use/
Thanks for any advice.
Cheers Lee |

The different database options are described on the download page - almost at the bottom of the page. _________________ Garmin DriveSmart 50 LMT-D |

Thanks Daggers. I'd never scrolled down that far, just as far as the Garmin instructions |

You want Speed Zoned Complete IMHO. |

There's a problem that you can't load up more than (I think) 32 POIs from a single folder or something. Personally I delete all of the mobile and pmobile POIs (and the variable Gatsos) and it's fine. |

If your Garmin has an mp3 music player, you use the mp3 camera alert files.
If it doesn't, you use the .wav versions. _________________ "Settling in nicely" ;-) |
