I just bought a Garmin Nuvi 1450LMT. Garmin offers a bunch of downloadable icons that show up on the GPS.

Here is the Felt Bicycle: http://www8.garmin.com/vehicles/product.html?vName=feltBicycle

Run your cursor over the bike!

I have the GPS mounted in my Jeep. You can choose from the following: Automobile, pedestrian or bicycle. I wanted to see the different screens for bicycles so I took off in the Jeep but with the GPS set for bicycle. As soon as I hit 20mph it asked me if I wanted to change to automobile! LOL! I told it no and nothing changed. There didn't seem to be anything different between the 2 settings.

Some times just to mess with Carol, I change her GPS to British English and other languges etc.

Think I am gonna load this one on her's; http://www8.garmin.com/vehicles/product.html?vName=scaryScooter

Wonder if Transylvanian is an option? Would go with the "spookie"

Later, when she asks me to fix it, I say; "WTH did you do?"

wut?

Har, just found this; http://www8.garmin.com/vehicles/voice.html?vName=DrNightmare

My Garmin Nuvi has significant differences on Bicycle setting. It calculates your estimated time differently, and will often route on surfaces streets with lots of turns vs. a simpler route along a freeway or tollway.
