downloading alert sound files

 

How do I download the alert sound files? If I try to drag & drop I wind up with an internet shortcut file that launches the page where the file is located. When I click on the file to attempt to save it, it launches Quicktime player and unless I'm willing to buy thier upgrade I can't save the file. Help, any advice would be appreciated.

when you get to the MP3 file..

on a PC (Macs i have no idea) right click on the attactment and save as target.. I think there are some FAQ about it too .. do a search for downloading Sound Files..

Hope this helps

I just downloaded an mp3 file to my PC

When I clicked on the REST_AREA.mp3 sound file the Windows Media Player came up and played the sound bite. From the Media Player "File" menu, I clicked on "Save As" and saved the file to my GPS POI folder. I'll rename it there to match the rest area POI files I have saved already. I always test the proximity alerts and sounds with the simulate mode of my nuvi 650.

Hope that helps.

Quicktime player should be a free app. At least enough for you to hear the sound. If you want the sound, click on it from the "alert sounds library" page, that will bring you to a page with just that sound. If you want that sound right click and "save as" or "save link as" or "save target as" (depending on your browser).

Instructions on how to get the sound to your gps receiver...

Click the sounds tab at the top of every page here.

Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on

Thanks much for the info, "save target as..." is how it's done using QuickTime.
