Can I ask how you have got it to give you two warnings for the cameras? Confused
Have you renamed every single file or something?

Thanks

I do it by having a second set of all the files (ov2, bmp & ogg) with a _2 on the end (i.e. any name change). Then somply set up a warning with a different distance.

I've not found a way to automatically rename the ov2 files (I have to do this for each speed cam update) if anyone has any suggestions I'd be interested to know an easier way?

If I could edit my post I would change it to simply Embarassed

RenameFiles has the flexibility to do what you need. Freeware.

Maybe consider using the PGPSW single file set for the first general warning, then the 24 zoned for the detailed second ?

Thanks Noony and Mullet. All makes sense now...I may well look to do the same!

Cheers

No all I did was edit and repeat the original warning in Audacity 1.3, having left a bit space
hope that makes sense mate. It works a treat for me.

Hi all,
just saw this and tried it on my TTN5 (v5.120) and Tungsten T3.
Worked brilliantly :D , I now have custom warnings for some of my POIs and put back the original data.chk file ,which I had previously customized. I wonder why it took tomtom so long to share this with us , I have been using same version for over 10months.

Works fine on my XDA but not on my mates TTOne. When he comes to a camera it freezes and the sound sticks, continuously playing a loop, like a scratched CD.
I think it's the card not big enough as there's only 2Mb spare now.

If your mates TTOne has extra voices (foreign ones etc) or even some celeb voices try removing them to the PC to free up some space on the card, then give it another Go - Mike

Already thought of that but the One only comes with 2 voices. The 2Mb was after I'd deleted the bloke! The TT card is only 120Mb which is a strange capacity, must be some reason for it.
I'll just have to replace the data.chk file and delete the ogg files.

Nope... makes no sense at all I'm afraid?
I'll go and find this "audacity1.3" and see if that makes sense!!
Otherwise I'll have to follow the others and make two sets!
Cheers anyway Scoop!

I think he means put 2 warnings on the sound file but with a 30 second gap. I would have thought that would make the file too big for TomTom to handle
