Re: Yellow Fj Marker for your Garmin Nuvi

Here's a quick tutorial on using these new icons.

Step 1:

When you first plug your Nuvi into your computer with the USB cable, you should get an window with lots of options. You will want to choose to view the files with Windows Explorer.

Step 2:

You should see all of the above folders. We want the "Garmin" folder.

Step 3:

Now we want to open the "Vehicle" folder which is where all of your vehicle icons are stored.

Step 4:

Now we need to find where you saved the .srf file that you have downloaded here. Above shows where I saved mine and what the icon should look like. Make sure you still have the Garmin window open as well as the window where your file is so that we can click and drag.

Step 5:

Click and drag your selected .srf file into your "Vehicle" folder. It should look like the above image (you may or may not have the same vehicles I have installed.)

Now comes the part with no pictures and everything I am listing is how it is on my 660, the locations may vary depending on your model.

Unplug your Nuvi and allow it to boot up. Then choose your settings icon (mine is a wrench on the home screen.) Select Map. You should see a button for Vehicle that says change. Choose this. Scroll through your loaded vehicles until you find your FJ. Choose the FJ and it should be displayed on the map. Press OK and you are good to go!
