I've got an eTrex Legend on my bike and it's great except for one thing: I can't hear the beep alerts! Does anyone know of a way (I'll even take a hack) to increase the volume?

I did alittle gogle searching but it's hella late right now for me to fully read up this site. Perhaps something of use can be found here.

Thanks for posting that. Unfortunately, they never did anything to increase the volume -- no idea why. It'd actually be easy from a software standpoint since it's just beeps, no voice. You just increase the gain on the sound clip. If anyone knows the software format and how to change the volume/sound clip, that'd be really cool!
