You gotta tweak your stuff! Don’t think that your GPS can’t be tweaked to your liking, one thing you can start with on your Garmin GPS is a changing of the voice.

Just in case you’re looking to modify a TomTom voice file you can read about how to do that here: How to Change or Create TomTom GPS Voices

It’s not that hard to do but we’re going to assume that you have your Garmin GPS fully hooked up to your computer and you’re able to access it like a regular drive. If you can’t get to this point with your GPS just stop reading right here because this tweak is just not for you. (more…)

Google Maps is a great utility to help you find your way. If you don’t have a navigational GPS with all the maps and waypoints to help you out you can still search for a location on Google Maps and add it as a waypoint to your GPS unit.

When you’ve found your destination just right click on it and then click Directions to here. The box on the left hand side of the screen will change and include the decimal degrees coordinates for the location that you’re seeking.

You can add the coordinates to your GPS unit and you’re on your way. It might not be as good as a navigational GPS unit but this will still help you get you there.
