Ash 10 Camera Manager

What does the message 'Your POI directory is not set, or is invalid ' mean please? I download the speed data base regularly to My Nuvi file and download to my Nuvi310 using POI loader. What should I be doing to make the Manager work, and do I download the same db, and can I use the Liz voice file unzipped into the speed.db. Thanks.

You need to tell Camera Manager where you keep the POI files (including Speed Camera Files) on your PC (i.e. where you normally unzip the database to before you upload it with POILoader). You do this under the Directories tab...

You do not need to download any database file. Camera Manager does this for you.

As for the Voice file you need to download the Voice file with Camera Manager in the title.

Thank you; I have successfully downloaded and uploaded CM now. I have downloaded and unzipped the voice warning package into a file I have named Ash10, which contains the 4 GPX sc dbs, but the voice warnings do not function on the Nuvi. Can you offer further assistance?

Does the 310 have an mp3 player? If not, you need to convert the mp3 to wav format with a program such as Audacity and use those.

Yes, the model is a 310d(Halfords Special!); at present when I unzip Liz.-pardon the expression, I have a csv file. a pocketgps MP3. and a pocketgpsBMP file for each speed zone, and it works perfectly. Into which file should I unzip the CM 3.0 Voice Warning file to make the system work, please? At present I have the 4 GPXsc files, the BMP files and all the WAV files in one folder. Something wrong methinks!

The mp3 files should be in the folder you use to upload the files to your unit with POILoader. i.e. the one Camera Manager generates the files in.

You shouldn't have any CSV files. Camera Manager generates GPX files for you instead.

Basically for each category there should be a GPX, a BMP and a MP3 file...

Maybe try emptying the folder and starting again?

I now have a folder 'My Garmin'; it contains: a Custom Waypoint Symbol Folder; a Garmin -rmu; another Garmin-rmu; a POILoader for Windows; a CM 3.0 voice Warning ZIP, a pgpsw sc uk ZIP, a CM MFC app., the 4 separate pgps-sc gpxs, the 4 separate bmps.
Please would you explain, step by step, how best to arrange these -ie should I have the gpxs and bmp, zipvoice and zippgpsw. cm in a separate folder which POI Loader will pick up and upload to my Nuvi.
Into which file do I unzip Voice warnings before uploading?
Presumably I should delete existing pgps pois from Nuvi before uploading CM files.
Thanks for your support.

If you have already successfully added POIs to your unit before then you are halfway there.

Camera Manager (CM) downloads a single ZIP file into your POI folder and then generates the GPX files which it also places in that folder along with the BMP files. You add the voice files (unzipped) to that folder.

Each time the database is updated CM downloads a new single ZIP file and generates the new GPX files. The BMP and voice files remain untouched. You upload the contents of that folder with POILoader.

CM has downloaded a zip file of UK cameras and generated the 4 categories with their BMPs - to my Unit Nuvi 310 with MP3. and it works, but with no CM voice warning.
CM has not deleted the existing csv db. This continues to work with Liz as voice warning so......
I have deleted the csv db with Liz from the unit.
The unit still does not play the CM voice warnings, with the gpx files.They play on the pc.
Have you any further suggestions to help me make it work, please?

Does each GPX file have an MP3 file with exactly the same name? The extension will be different (i.e. MP3 not GPX) but the name should be exactly the same)

Which settings are you using on the Settings tab?

Which Voice pack did you download?

nicknacknoo · Posted: Sat Apr 10, 2010 9:55 pm Post subject: Voice Warnings with CM

I have A GPX file for each speed.
I have an unzipped CM 3.0 voice warning file.
I have changed from 'Camera Type' to 'Speed Limits' in the CM settings.
The unzipped voice warning file contains the blue WAV files. Are these the same as MP3, or have I downloaded the wrong files?
I do not have an MP3 file to match each of the GPX files.
I downloaded the CM 3.0 voice warning pack as I thought this was the appropriate pack
When using pgps uk db, I unzipped the Liz voice file into the pgps file and got a csv, a bmp, and a mp3. -all works
On using CM, I have a GPX file, a BMP, but no matching MP3 -apart from the WAV files which remain unzipped.
I hope that helps you understand my quandary!

Thank you PaulB for your patience! I want to get to the position you demonstrate. I am unable to display the files as you do.
In my POI directory, I have all the .gpx files; all the BMP files; and all the voice output files in a separate folder. What must I do I arrange them as you do, please. Embarassed
