Newbie Garmin nuvi 265wt question

Governor312

Hi All, Just Joined recently, few questions, I have a garmin nuvi 265wt, i have downloaded the database along with the voice alerts (Liz) and traffic icons 22x22. On using the sat nav last night i noticed the voice alerts were not working, although they are all in the same folder, I am using voice directions ok on the garmin, do i need to change anything to enable the voice warnings?? Also do i need to use only the pgpsw database or can i use this and the garmin database although i think this is not as up to date!! Also i note that there are 24x24 icons can i use these on the garmin. Sorry for all the questions, not very good at setting up these things!!!! Confused

The first question is "Does yor Nuvi support mp3 music files?" - some do, some don't.

If it does, you should be able to use the standard instructions here:

Yes, I believe you'll need to enable "Proximity Alerts" in MyData.

In my nuvi 255, it's Tools...Settings...Proximity Points...Change.
I tick the Custom POIs box, and I uncheck the Garmin one to avoid double alerts.

I believe you can run both side by side if you wish, but most people will turn off the Garmin ones.
