New Vehicle Icons for your Garmin?

Want to change your vehicle icons? Well that's easy on Garmin Nuvi and some StreetPilot models.

The Garmin website has a bunch of vehicle icons that are available, including the slick sleigh pictured here.

Go to the Garmin website, and see the directions to download the icon onto your computer; you then connect your Nuvi to your computer with the USB cable, and open up the Nuvi icon under “My Computer”. Get the vehicle icon file “*.srf” and drop it into the “vehicles” folder on the Nuvi.

Disconnect the Nuvi from the computer, start it and then go to “Tools -> Settings-> Map-> Vehicle/Change” Select the one you like and hit OK.

Also compatible on StreetPilot 500 series and Zumo units. I played with this when I had a Nuvi 760 in for review; easy to change and fun too.
