Mp3 or Wav files for Garmin NUVI

Hi first of all, I am Brazilian
Sorry if my english isn't very good but I have some questions:

I've downloaded .bmp and .gpx files in the download center, but I cant find .wav and .mp3 files

Should I use Mp3 or Wav files? My GPS is Garmin NUVI 1390

Thanks

Do you want sound

The Mp3 and .wav files are for sound effects only.

Incorrect! They are spoken warnings that match the .gpx files and are the verbal warning.
The .mp3 and .wave files are located in the same area that you get the .gpx file from.

Correct information, I have downloaded the mp3 files for my Garmin 760 and are spoken warnings.

mp3 vs wav

What's the difference between the wav and mp3 files?

Is one better than the other?

It is model dependent. Try the .wav format first and if no good get the .mp3 files..
