Using an mp3 proximity alert on nuvi 205w

I read somewhere that you could use the .mp3 proximity alert for your speed traps for instance. I use the Nokia wav audio files but it seems to be too quiet. I dont know if the .mp3 will play louder or what. If not, is their a way to boost the volume of the .wav file before it is loaded onto the nuvi?

Thanks

The simples way to increase volume of wav file is a standard "sound recorder" program in Windows. File-> open, Effects->increase volume. You can do more precise work in any sound editor as well.

This may seem like a silly response but do you have the volume of the unit turned up? Sometimes we forget the most obvious things.

I used audacity to save my own voices to .wav and now its good.
