Hi guys ..

I have this brand new garmin vista GPS

The alarm sound/beeper is just not loud enough. It is
a little louder than a watch, and I need it to be about
as loud as a cell phone. (I use it on a locomotive)

I have it apart and cant find the piezo to even start thinking
about altering or replacing it.

Check out the pics .. note .. it has electronic compass and
barimetric pressure. so .. the thing in the middle with
with the ferrite looking thing, I think is the compass.

anyways .. some pics

here is the whole board
