| This is possible to do by creating your own data.chk file and assigning a silent audio track to one of the 15 or 30 audio warnings you have installed (tomtom default is 15, but you can extend this to 30 via a utility package) either way you will need to look at POIExtend from www.tomtomsatnav.info as to how this works, the instructions are clear. The audio format you need to be using is .OGG files so you will need an audio file conversion programe on the PC to create a silent warning in the correct file type then use POIExtend to assign it to one of the warnings, have a read through the instructions on the link - Mike |

Have a look at http://www.tomtomsatnav.info/
There are several options on there for changing warnings. You might find something like a 'silent warning' you can incorporate.
