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

here is a close up of the ferrite thing

Bingo.

Mike, if you have such an issue again where you need to find out where
some noise of sound comes from: If have often located the faintest
hisses and stuff using a piece of 5/8" drip irrigation tube or similar
held to my ear.

But that doesn't work for us ol' farts ;-)

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
