I can download them but how do you get them in your nuvi to work as a replacement for the one I am using? Where do you save it?

look in vehicle folder on nuvi

When you hook your nuvi to your computer, you would go into the nuvi drive and find the folder marked "Vehicles" and just put the .srf file you want in that folder.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I'd love to create some of my own files. How long does it take to learn the process? Hours?

Thx.

Click on the first link in the first post in this thread for that information.

Jeep Wrangler

The Jeep Wrangler is a good detailed file.

When would you see anything other than top & back of a vehicle?

I've used both 3D and 2D views of my nuvi 250W's maps, and I see just the top and back of the vehicle icon. Yes, when making a quick turn in a parking lot, I've seen another face of the vehicle flicker by. But never for more that a fraction of a second.

When does one see more than the top and back of a vehicle icon?

TIA.

When you are stopped for one. The unit will rotate the vehicle at times since there are variations with the sats and earth rotating.

How to view the front.

If you mount the GPS to the rear window of your vehicle, you will see the front of the vehicle icon after it recalibrates. As you drive, the GPS will compensate for the new orientation & reverse the image revealing the front of the vehicle icon. It knows that a vehicle can not drive in reverse at speeds of 55mph thus knowing to make a change. Depending upon your GPS accuracy, total realignment will take about 5 - 10 minutes of CONTINOUS driving. That is why you only see the side for a flicker as you make a quick sharp turn. If your GPS is WAAS capable, activate it & it should align a little faster. It would be safer to have a passenger with you to monitor the GPS. You want to make sure to keep your eyes on the road.

When would you see anything other than top & back of a vehicle?

Thanks, guys. That explains why I've rarely seen anything but the top and back of my vehicle icons. And now I know that, if I ever see the front of the vehicle icon while the unit is on my dashboard, something's definitely wrong with the way I'm driving! smile

Yes, read the thread linked at the top of this page.

I like the white truck. It has resemblance to my Toyota Tundra

But I feel compelled to point it out lest we have a bunch of people here trying to drive and look at their GPSr through the rear-view mirror.

Unless a GPSr has an internal electronic compass, it has no idea which way it's facing. It knows only which direction it's moving.

Great Job!!!

Some of these are a hoot! Thanks for reminding me that my Garmin is really made for FUN!!!

I spent some time looking

I spent some time looking through the creation steps - - far more involved than I had realized. It appears to me folks are taking pictures of models/toys on a rotating turntable and creating a file of multiple shots to generate the required images. No thanks smile

On a another note, I downloaded some additional .srf files and getting odd reactions from my 360. Sometimes the pink navigating line doesn't show up at all. The unit is locking up on occasion. The vehicles are too small in relation to the width of the pink line. The pink line looks bloated at times. Very strange.

I should probably delete a few of those recent downloads.

I was happy when I found that one to I drive a jeep and use it now. If only it was dark green, that would be even better.

Well, I wasn't able to get onto the site on April 1st & this post was started the night before. CaseyGuys post just set it all up. smile

PaulATL - Thank you for making this "Virtual Car Lot" for everyone to find the current vehicles available. Great idea!

Oh my GOD...

I just got my nuvi350 this week and I think I may have just opened Pandora's Box, here. I used game sprites to make a MarioKart vehicle icon. It works great for me. Game sprites are PERFECT for making icons since they have LOTS of 360 animated .gifs that can be layered and added to an original .srf file. I can't wait to see what comes next with the creators out there. StarFox Arwing is my next attempt.

This is a link to where I put it on a free upload site. ENJOY!

OK, you had everything right except hitting the find button. You need to click "save" and you the will get a pop up to save it to a destination. Just save it to your computer then drag and drop this file into your "vehicle" folder on your Garmin compatible GPS. The file is already a .srf file. All you need to do then is go into your setup page in Garmin and select the mini vehicle. smile

ok now what?

Ok thats good to know. Thanks so much. Now my NUVI didnt come with a cd to put on my computer. I downloaded Webupdater from Garmin. I don't know where I would have a "vehicle folder on my Garmin. Not sure where the setup page is. I told you I am computer dumb. LOL. Thanks for your help.

USB Cable

Your nuvi should have come with a USP cable like the one here https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=1345 All you should need to do is plug the cable into your computer and the nuvi. Once it recognizes the drive, go to my computer, then look fo the Garmin nuvi drive (G:), double click it then follow this path: Garmin, Vehicle. Drag and drop the mini srf file into this vehicle folder and then safely disconnect from your computer. When you boot up follow the procedure in the previous post to change the vehicle. smile

FYI...Since you are new...Don't mess around with any of the other files.

My NUVI didn't come with a

My NUVI didn't come with a usb/cable... this is what came in the box https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?cID=134&pID=9160. But I do have one. So I will try that. Thanks again for your help.

It worked. I love it.

The sport black motorcycle will be a selection when you hook up to web updater. Run webupdater then when you get to the other updates list, scroll through and you should see a bunch of other vehicles. (it's where they will have voices too)

thanks

Thanks for the new vehicles. They're great.
