Hi there,
I have the 3790 and have been loading the BMP, CSV, MP3 and GPX files. I am not too sure if this is right but it does work.
BMP - BitMap Icon
CSV - Comma Separated - Longitude, latitude and other info
MP3 - The sound the GPS will play "Warning school zone ahead"
GPX - Has info like proximity alarms and speed limits

Happy to be corrected here if there are any other ideas.

Cheers, Trent.

I have a Nuvi 1490 and I am new to all of this as well.
I have found the GPX files work well.Tthe files that you need are: GPX, WAV (mp3 converted to WAV) and a BMP file.
The names of the 3 files GPX, BMP and WAV must have the same name.
ie:
Speed camera.gpx
Speed camera.bmp
Speed camera.wav

Use the GPX file or the CVS file. Not both.

Hope this helps.
Cheers

Futher to my reply.
The GPX files can be imported into the mapsource software on your computer. I find this helpful for route planning and avoiding the cash cam.
Cheers
