Sound files for POIs

 

I have a Nuvi 255w and just started using POIs. My question is: What format should I save sound files; wav or mp3?

I may not know anything, but I know what I'm doing.

wav, yes. mp3, no

The nuvi 255W can't play mp3 files so you'll need wav files. See the FAQ for details, including the need for sox.exe if you use a PC:

Silent pop-up alerts

I know you didn't ask, but if you want pop-up alerts with no sound, go here:

I have so many alerts on my GPS that I got tired of hearing them, so I use silent alerts for a visual alert on some of them, like factory tours and stuff.

sox.exe

Ooops...forgot to do the sox thing. Maybe that's why I got an error for all the .wav files when I did an uploader earlier today. I'll let ya know how it turns out when I get home and try it again.
