Hi,

I'm a newbie in need of guidance! I have a TT Go700 with 5.201 and I have set up the speed camera files OK. I can only find the 5158_new.data.chk - could you point me to the 5201 version?

Many thanks,

Stuart

Thanks - there's a page at the begining of this thread that takes you to http://www.pocketgpswprold.com/tomtom-go-poi-alerts.php - it could do with removing/changing.

Cheers,

Stuart

Hi,

Complete newbie and first post!!

I have waded through pages and pages of forum answers but still not sure of what files I need to get the individual speed warnings.I know I need the data.chk and have got the right version, but there are some other Gatso files i think, what are they and where do you get them from.

Any info where all these files go etc would be appreciated otherwise lots of trial and error!!!

Sorry to be a bit dumb but I guess there are a lot of experts out there hopefully willing to help.

Incidentally I have read the article at /tomtom-poi-alerts.php but still a bit blonde!!

Many thanks

There can be 3 setups for speed cameras.

The first is a single file that contains all the cameras together, without any reference to what type. This is named pocketgps_uk_sc.ov2 and found in the 'single file version' folder.

Second is the 5 file version that divides the cameras into types. Gatso, Mobile, Specs, Redlight and Temporary. These you will find in the 'ov2 bmp' folder.

Third is the full 17 file version that divides the Gatso and Mobile files into speed zones. There are 7 each of the Gatso and Mobile files. These are found in the 'speed zoned/gatso/ov2 bmp' and speed zoned/mobile/ov2 bmp' folders. Add to these the Specs, Redlight and Temporary files as above.

I have not included the Continental file because you will only need this if going to the continent.. But should you want it , it's in the 'ov2 bmp' folder.

When you've decided which set you want copy each .ov2 file, and it's matching .bmp file to your map folder. Then setup the POI's in Manage POI.

Hi,
I have followed the instructions and replaced the data.chk file on my ipaq hx4700 with tomtom navigator. However, the sounds have not changed, i still get the stupid cow noises etc, any ideas why this is ?

Have i missed something out ?

Try putting it in \Program Files\Navigator and see if that fixes it.

Just a quick note to say I've added some new voice alerts to my site using a real voice much better quality than the computer generated ones I've already done.
