If you are using a Garmin in-car GPS, there are many more interesting vehicle icons available than the default icons that appear in the menu. You can customize your Garmin GPS device with a custom vehicle icon from the Garmin Garage. This is where Garmin places files that users can use to upgrade the vehicle icon that their device uses. These are available for free and can be downloaded without a user account.
