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

Works great but really struggle with the loss of all POI Chimes. I think it migh have been useful to keep one free for other POI's and therefore the Polite 3 might have been better used. Akso I find that Beep one contains A vhime and the work 'Gatso', I am not sure whether this is deliberate or an error.

Hi id, just to pass on to you what I have learned over the past few days, the sound file add-on listed on this site is very limited, but I was given a sound folder by Mullet which contained 32 sound warnings, each of which was preceeded by an un-missable siren!
If you can get a copy from Mullet, don't try to install it over the sound files that you already have - mis-listing results. Restore your data.chk file to one which has just the original TomTom sound files, then use POI Extended Capture (Sorry, can't find the link) to build a customised sound file.
Works like a charm - and 32 different warnings should be enough for anyone!

Have you changed the right data.chk file ?. the one you need to change is on your device in Program Files | Navigator folder and not the one on the sdcard.

Hi,

Excellent resource!

I have just downloaded camera POI database and new sounds for my MIO A701 with TomTom Navigator 5 App version 5.210 (5430). All the POIs are loaded fine but I still get the old sounds instead of the spoken ones, e.g. "Gatso 40" etc. I replaced my data.chk file with the download from the site for '5430' but cannot see what I have ommitted.

Can anyone please suggest what Muppetry I may have done to not get the appropriate sounds?

All help will be much appreciated.

Many thanks...

You might need to "soft reset" the device to get the unit to load the new data.chk file and use it, this will only restart the device - give the reset hole a prod with the stylus and then try configuring the warnings, if you have put the file where Old Boy has explained then it should work - Mike
