Use the "Separate out Approach and Overspeed warnings" option on the settings tab. From here

This means that where a device supports them, you can have a voice Approach warning and a simple chime Overspeed warning (or even a different message). Note that this option doubles the number of POI categories used, up to a maximum of fifty-eight(!) Some Garmin StreetPilot devices have a limit of around eight-five POI categories, so this is something to bear in mind if you use lots of other POIs. |

In other words if you set up a voice alert for the proximity alert, your over speed alert will be the same. |
Use the "Separate Approach/Overspeed Warnings" option...  |

Thanks. I'll give that a go. Do you have a 'bong' I can use, or is there one on the garmin streetpilot 2720 itself?
If there isn't and you have one, can you please let me have it and instructions on how I get to use the overspeed warning bong.
Sorry, lots of questions, I know! |

Check your email as i've sent you the 3 bong types Garmin uses.
POILoader assigns the mp3 with the EXACT same name to the GPX file.
To use them just make sure each GPX file has an MP3 file with exactly the same name. So make lots of copies of the MP3 and start renaming them...
i.e.
GATSO.GPX
GATSO.MP3
REDLIGHT.GPX
REDLIGHT.MP3
SPECS.GPX
SPECS.MP3
etc
Then add the MP3s to your POILoader upload folder and upload as normal with the GPX files. |

PaulB - sorry to be a pest - I guess I need to rename only the bong files to match the overspeed ones, not all?
i.e.
PocketGPS_UK_Gatso_Forty_Overspeed.mp3
PocketGPS_UK_Gatso_Forty_Overspeed.gpx |

| That's correct. The other voices will need to match the Approach (Proximity) files. |

Could I possibly have a copy of the MP3 files as well Paul. I have recently added a Garmin 660 to my collection for use on the bike. Is it possible to set say just the mobiles on a Garmin to silent and only show on the screen. I can do this quite easy on my TomTom.

|
|
I've loaded the right sox.exe file into the right Garmin folder and it does work (Voice alerts are transferred to my Navigator 3) but in a very clunky way. When I use POI Loader, a warning window comes up telling me that the publisher of sox has no valid digital signature. There is an OK button but the window comes up again (I think it comes up in respect of each Wav file being transferred). Provided I click the OK button each time, all is OK.
Is there any way that POI Loader can run without the warning window coming up and me having to click OK repeatedly? |

I think those are window security warnings because I have never seen them in POILoader.

If it is Windows, you ought to be able to get the site 'accepted' so that it will work without warnings.

Paul,
Would it be possible for you to send me a copy of the file of the Garmin bongs for my Nuvi so that I can separate out approach and warning. My Nuvi requires wav files for sound so I guess Ii will need to convert from MP3 to wav? |

Can I ask for a copy of the bong files please? Liz's voice is lovely for warning of cameras but having a bong instead for over speed would be better. Its strange but I do get the bong on Gatso variable speed cameras.
I see from the previous replies that you have to name bong files to correspond to the overspeed files, ok. But my overspeed files do not have matching Liz's mp3 files. I have used the separate out option and using Liz's Ash10 files.
Can you please advise why i still get constant camera reminders even when driving at a lower speed than the camera set speed. In fact the top banner only goes green when i stop. Is it my Nuvi 670 causing the problem? I assume the gpx files are used to distinguish between overspeed alarm or not. Could it be that i have constant alerts set on the Garmin?
Sorry about all the questions but would like to sort it out.  |
