Spoken Camera Warnings

I just renamed my speedcamera files to represent the text I wanted spoken. Nice and easy.

For example, renamed:

pocketgps_uk_Gatso_20.ov2
to
Speed_Camera_Gatso_20.ov2

So tomtom says, "Speed Camera Gatso Twenty".

I've got a TT730 copied the files in .bmp, ov2, & ogg but when I select the sound I don't see the ogg ones just beeps etc.

Any ideas??

Follow the instructions (at the bottom of THIS PAGE) carefully....

You will NOT see the voice files in the list with this method.

Cheers Andy,

The bit I couldn't get my head round was the fact that you didn't have to select the specific voice. Once I sussed that all you had to do was click "yes" when asked if I wanted to use the voice selected I was sorted.

Thanks,

Paul

It's confusing for a lot of people....

The problem is that it is an undocumented feature that TomTom never got round to implementing properly in the menus.
Unfortunately all the Pocket GPS World alerts got set up using this method before TomTom came up with the second technique I mentioned, which is actually much more logical and easy to follow.

I'm just installing the PGPSW speedzoned database and the Andy speedzoned voices. The Gatso and Mobile alert have been set up as per the instructions (920T). However when trying to set up the specs and redlights, I can't get past the set up for the distance.

I've checked the map folder and the .ogg files are there, and are identical to the bmp and ov2 files.

I'm on App 7.221, with map version v710.1576

Any ideas what is going wrong?

What happens when you get stuck? Can you give the exact sequence of button taps you are doin - I assume you are selecting "sound effect" on the first screen?

If all else fails, there's always the alternative method, I've described it HERE

Hi Andy,

Very weird,

Tried again this morning, and everything worked. Bit bizarre, but at least I'm sorted now.
