Installing new vehicles on Garmin GPS Solved/Closed

Question

Hello,
I have a Garmin Nuvi 250W GPS and I would like to download new car models that are in the Garmin garage. I followed the procedure recommended on the website, but I'm having trouble. I don’t understand step 5 of the installation guide that I’m providing below: after “vehicles,” they say to click on “Extract,” but what??? There’s something I’m missing. Can someone help me?
I have the latest Garmin software loaded with WebUpdater and updates done (Windows XP)

Thank you

1. Using the Garmin USB cable (available online at Garmin Shop), connect your Garmin GPS to your computer

2. Go to the Garmin Garage page to discover all the Garmin vehicles available for download.

3. Choose your vehicle and click on “Download,” then if necessary, choose “Open”

4. Once the file is open, click on “Extract”

5. Browse your workstation (on PC) or Finder (on Mac), select your Garmin device connected via USB, click on the “Garmin” folder, then “vehicles,” and click on “Extract” (if the “vehicles” folder doesn’t exist, create a new folder and name it “vehicles”).

6. Then eject your Garmin device by clicking on “Safely Remove Hardware”

7. Then disconnect the USB cable from your device.

Configuration: Windows XP Firefox 3.0.3

Hello,

to get a translation from English to French, just check the French flag in the right column.

Garmin splash screen = écran de démarrage pour GPS Garmin.
Garmin links = liens vers des sites relatifs au Garmin.

Otherwise, it seems that the French site can be accessed via:

Logically, it should work.

Yes, but that doesn't work. What should I "Extract" when I'm in "vehicles" because the downloaded vehicle is extracted in paragraphs 3 and 4 - where is it? Since I haven't saved it, I can only find it in the bar at the bottom of the screen if I've minimized it there.

Actually, I managed to do it myself: the mistake I was making was that I was going into the garmin nuvi folder and looking for the vehicles folder which wasn't there, so I created it. However, in the default garmin nuvi folder, there is a garmin folder that contains the vehicles folder, and all I had to do was copy and paste between the unzipped file and the existing vehicles folder at that location, and no more issues.
Thanks anyway, and possibly help for those who have difficulties like me with these new machines.

You simply need to extract the Garmin vehicles (.srf files) from the zip or rar files and place them in the vehicles folder at the root of Garmin.

If you are looking for a specific cursor, just ask me:

Les termes "garmin splash" et "garmin links" ne semblent pas correspondre à des expressions très courantes. Cela pourrait faire référence à des fonctionnalités ou des éléments spécifiques aux produits Garmin. En français, il n'y a pas de traduction directe et ces termes pourraient être utilisés tels quels. Si vous cherchez des informations précises sur ces termes, je vous conseille de visiter le site de Garmin ou de consulter les manuels des produits.

Also, when I try to load the program, it says "not found."
