Montana sound files

#1819

Post by SA Airborne »

Am I correct in assuming .wav are the way to go, as opposed to .mp3, for the voice prompts/warnings on my Montana 600?

Anyone that can advise, I'd be mighty grateful...

Thanks,

Paul

Paul the Nuvi 710 and maybe a few other that were marketed a few years ago came out with Mp3 players. The newer Nuvi's and other models play wave files with the help of sox-14.0.1. I am sure the Montana will be no acception.

Thanks Jan,

I'll muddle on and try to get things sorted - .wav it is then.
