Depending on the model of your Garmin GPS device will determine how to load music onto the device.
In the case of the nuvi series, you can either load music onto an SD Card or directly onto the device. From here, you have three ways to copy the music over.
Before we get to that, it should be noted that only MP3 music files are supported by Garmin devices. This means music you bought from the iTunes Store and music ripped with the default settings in iTunes and Windows Media Player (AAC and WMA files) cannot be played back. You will need to change their settings to rip files from CDs as MP3.
If you’re using Windows Media Player 11, click on the Sync tab at the top, select your SD Card or Garmin device from the right side of the window, drag the songs and/or playlist you want on the device from the left into the Sync List on the right, and then click Start Sync.
If you’re using iTunes, find the songs you want in your iTunes Library and drag it onto the SD Card or Garmin device in the Windows Explorer. It will start copying the song over to the card or device.
You can also manually copy songs from the Windows Explorer onto the SD Card or Garmin device.
Whichever method you use it is IMPORTANT that you do not copy the music files into folders. The MP3 files must be in the root / top folder of the SD Card or Garmin device.
Sadly, I cannot respond on the G1 Buzz, but I am sure it is a similar situation as for getting music onto the device.
