|
|
Hi, I find the standard Navman single 'boing' alert for Speed Cameras too quiet and easily missed. Is there an easy way to change the sound to a louder more urgent one - or even to get it to play the standard sound several times for each camera detected |

YES you can change the sound. You can use any of the pre-loaded sounds or you can create your own or find a web site from which to download a sound of your choice. Changing the sounds is done through Navman's POI editor in SmartST desktop. The full instructions are in the Manual page 95(which is available from the Navman website - here )
You could try from here here _________________ Gee-Pee

Thanks for the reply but though I can add a new sound file via the POI editor as per page 95/6 I can find no way of getting it on to the N20 to replace the standard Navman Camera Alert sound file.
I am not trying to add a Custom POI file at present - though I will subscribe to Pgps soon, I am simply trying to change the default N20 camera alert that came with the N20.
I did try simply copying the new .wav into the POI directory on the N20 with the same name as the original (after renaming the original file) but the N20 simply refuses to play the new .wav.
What am I missing here??? |

N20 will play standard wav files, but not things like riff-wavs with embedded mp3 -- ensure that your wav file really is a standard wav file.
Although it doesn't matter much for WinCE based devices like N20, I'd also stick with 16 bit/16 kHz/mono files just to rule out the possibility that you found some weird combination that causes problems. |

All I did was to copy off the original N20 .wav and basically duplicate it 5 times using Nero and copy it back as a standard .wav but no joy - it just will not play |
