If you use a Garmin in-car GPS, there are much more interesting vehicle icons available than the few that appear within your unit's stock menu. In fact, you don't need to 'drive' a car at all. How about a fire truck or a football, or maybe a tank, a police car, or a motorcycle?

Customize your Garmin GPS device with a custom vehicle icon from the Garmin Garage. It's where Garmin posts files that users can use to upgrade the vehicle icon their device is using. These are freely available and can be downloaded without even needing a user account.

Every vehicle from the Garmin Garage is an ​SRT file that's stored in a ZIP archive. Below are instructions on where to go to download these files, how to open them and how to put the SRT file on the Garmin to change the vehicle icon.

There is one place to access the Garmin Garage but two different ways to install the vehicle icon to your Garmin device:

Use the Garmin Communicator Plugin

This add-on is for your web browser so you can easily transfer the vehicle icon directly to your Garmin without having to download and extract the files manually.

  1. Install the Garmin Communicator Plugin.

  2. Visit Garmin Garage to see which vehicles are available.

  3. Select the Install Vehicle button to transfer the icon to your device.

This method isn't as fluid but it's really not confusing either. Plus, it doesn't make you install a browser plug-in.

  1. Connect your Garmin device to your computer.

  2. Find the vehicle icon you want from Garmin Garage.

  3. Download the ZIP file to your computer.


  4. Extract the SRT file out of the ZIP file.

  5. Copy the SRT file to the /Garmin/Vehicle/ folder of the device.

How to Change the Vehicle Icon From Your Garmin

Now that you have the custom icon on your device, it's time to change the ride:

  1. From the device, touch Tools.

  2. Choose Settings.

  3. Select Map.

  4. Then tap Automobile.

  5. Choose Vehicle to select your custom icon.

There are three types of official TomTom navigation voices:

  • Standard voices that come pre-installed on every TomTom device. They are recorded voices and give you spoken instructions for your route.
  • Computer voices that use text-to-speech technology to read street names, incoming text messages, weather information, etc. Not all devices support computer voices.
  • Premium voices that have been recorded by celebrities and are available for purchase.

Purchase a premium voice

Go to the voice store on tomtom.com to purchase a premium voice. You can either refine your search by category, or click Details for the voice you would like to purchase from the main page. Once you've clicked Details you can click the shopping cart icon to proceed with purchasing the voice.

Managing voices

You can manage your voices in the My Voices section of the My Content tab. You can remove or update voices installed on your device as well as install additional voices.

Your installed voices are grouped first in your chosen language (the language you have set MyDrive Connect to use), and then in other languages.

In the Add voices to your device section you will also see your language first, then other languages listed alphabetically. This section contains all the standard voices and computer voices compatible with your device, as well as all voices you have previously purchased for the connected device but which are not currently installed.

Tip: Voices that have the size indication MB are usually computer voices.
