Spoken POI alerts for TomTom GO, Mobile, PocketPC and Palm

Any ideas why the POI-soundpatch wont work for me. When I try it with my V5.1 or 5.2 DATA.chk file I get the bad data.chk file warning. It will work for me with the data.chk file I have from an old backup of V5.

Hi Jim-Bob,

There's a new version which will allow you to attempt to update any data.chk file (it gives a warning first) - The new version is 0.3.10 - scroll right down to the bottom of the page. The bit you are interested in is:

"There are still issues with the new version of the OS for the TTG (5.2). This version adds voice extraction only (ie no other changes). I'll look at the 5.2 issue now :D"

click 'this version' - it still has a problem with 5.2 at the moment, but you could try 5.1 and see if that works..

I've tried with a 5.2 and the result was just a 'blank' sound on the TTG where the replaced sound would have been.

I'm working on a fix.

just used poi-soundpatch3.10 with V5.2 and worked fine both unchanged files and changed ones. No problem.

Thanks for the file. :D

Hi Jim-Bob,

Yes, I had a DOH! moment. I'd got an awooga sound converted to an ogg that I was using to test. Turns out I'm a muppet and was trying one of my old files that hadn't converted properly.

So, it does work... I'm what's broke ;)

oh btw Jim-Bob,

sorry to be a PITA but you might want to grab 0.3.11 - I forgot to remove some debug output in 0.3.10... not essential but just FYI.

Thanks for the feedback tho.. appreciated.

Hi,
Good work on the new voices but (there's always a but with new versions) could we not have them as additions to the original as we now do not have any non speed camera related warnings for use with the other POIs? Is there a limit to how many warning sounds TTN5 can use?
