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

Apologies if this has been asked before, but having just got a WM6 device and loaded TT6 Navigator, I just found these excellent voice warnings.

The only problem is they all seem to be cut short just before the speed is annoucned; i.e. "Warning Gatso ahead sp.....". The ogg files sound fine outside of TT6, so it is the application that is cutting down the output.

Is there a fix for this?

cheers,
Adam.

Not much help to you I'll admit, but it must be something specific to your set-up as there would have been a lot more complaints by now if it was a general problem.
something to do with the amount of free memory, perhaps?

TomTom don't officially support their product on a WM6 platform, this OS is quite new, and as yet there are very few devices running it - either as supplied new, or flashed with an official ROM from the OEM supplier of the hardware.
Is the ROM you have on your Hermes an official HTC ROM or one you have installed from somewhere else per chance? - Mike

You should have a read of This Page which details how to use ogg audio files for the warning sounds, it also contains links to the ogg download page on the site where you can obtain correctly named audio file sets for the Speed Camera Database, the data.chk file method is no longer supported so it will not work on the 720, the ogg file method works very well though.

Have a read through the instructions and if you encounter a problem please ask again as I am sure someone will be able to help out, quite a few of us are using the ogg files on various TomTom products these days - Mike

Hi

Ok forgive me if posting in wrong forum:

But can anyone advise on the legal position, of copying sound files from one satnav system, then using them on another satnav.

For example, I would like to copy some very good camera warning messages from my old sat nav in WAV format, and convert them to OGG format and use them on my new TOMTOM 720.

If I do that am I likely to be beaking any laws?

Thanks in advance for help

Mick

As long as the files were either paid for or available as a free download I doubt you would be doing anything wrong by converting the file type to a different one in order to use them on another manufactures unit. Make sure the sample rate is 22050Hz for the ogg file so it works with the TomTom device - Mike
