My European POIs have appeared on my new USA map

Calomax

Weird one this. I have the latest Western Europe map on my 720, and recently purchased the USA map in TT's sale. I downloaded it to a blank 4Gb card, having chosen it when HOME started.

When it had installed, I was surprised to find copies of all my WE pois on the USA map including the PGPSW European and UK Speed cameras. I have now deleted them but I'm curious to know how it could have happened.

Also, are there voice warnings available for the PGPSW USA speed camera database please?

Thats a tricky one

I thought the POI files were set up with co-ordinates so how the European ones appeared on the USA map is a mystery to me.
Unless you mean they are just in the map folder, in which case TomTom Home does what it feels like most of the time Laughing

Edited: Mis-read Original post thought it was about the USA database and not the warnings Embarassed

You used Home to install the map etc so what did you expect, you didn't think Home would actually get it right did you?

As for warnings, don't forget you have the option to use a TTS voice and then get the device to read out whatever you type in for the POI warnings - Mike

or rename the files with a batch file then you don't have to type anything in.

This is the batch file I use - copied from someone else on here, can't remember who though so can't give credit where it is due

rockin_plumber, sorry I should have made it clearer. They were in the map folder.

Mike, I should have known better but I didn't think even HOME could copy every one of my pois from the map on thee device to the new map on the card.

Andy, thanks for the batch file. I'm not sure what I should do next. Obviously they need to be changed to match the USA ov files, but I don't know how to change them all without amending each one individually.

edit the filenames in the above batch file to match what the USA speed cam files are called and rename them to what you want them to be read out as.

For example this line

Thanks Andy, I'll give that a try later.
