Welcome!
Welcome to our site dedicated to Garmin's new Garmin TourGuide™ file format for GPS! We are not directly or indirectly affiliated with Garmin® in any way, just big fans of this new development in GPS. For more information on Garmin please visit their site (www.garmin.com). Garmin TourGuide POIs are currently compatible with the nüvi™, zūmo™, and the StreetPilot® c550, 2730, 2820, 7200 and 7500.
With the introduction of TourGuide files, you can now associate an audio file or photo with a point of interest anywhere in the world. This opens up many new possibilities for GPS users, self guided tours, real estate information, etc. For more background on Garmin TourGuide™ files click here.
However, creating these files still takes some work. Sharing the experience and assistance from others can be very helpful so please visit our forums for tips and tricks in working with TourGuide files.
