Hello cezoot

In order to get audible alerts for custom POIs like those provided here you need the following:

BMP - this is the picture or icon of the POI
GPX - (bottom one) and set the proximity alert that you want to be notified by, for example, 100m...200m etc.
Wav or Mp3 - this is the actual sound file or audible alert.

Use POI Downloader to install the 3 files that you've downloaded for each category.

With regards to the speed limits I'm not sure if your unit supports audible alerts if you're exceeding the speed limit...I know my 3590LMT doesn't. Garmin seems to think that you shouldn't be relying on the GPS to monitor your speed - use the large dial on your dashboard cluster instead ;)

Cezoot,
If you look at this link you will see the directory structure in which to put the POI files, then use POI loader to set the files and upload to your gps..

The pertaining files for EACH speed or POI alert MUST be put in their own named directories to operate.
i.e. all files needed must have the same file name with the relevant extension that your model GPS uses.
.gpx or .csv <<<<<<< POI file name
.wav or .mp3 <<<<<<< Sound file required
.bmp <<<<<<< picture on map/screen


How can i Know that my garming in support csv or gpx files ?
any one from New Zealand _ Auckland has experience with 2595 ? thanks

you can hook your unit up to your pc and open the unit file and see what type of files they are in the respective folders ie:gpx etc
