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.

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

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.
