wav files

[Fireblademan]

I own a navigator 5 to work with a PDA. The files on this site to warn when in a 30 mph to 60 mph speed zone are in wav file. Wher do i copy these too on my sd card so that i can have the voices warn me of the speed limits? Thank You.

TT5 doesn't use wav files, unless you use CheckPOInt 5.

If you want to use voice warnings within TT5 itself you can change the data.chk file. The link is http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/tomtom-poi-alerts.php

Just to say thank you Richard for your help but i am no further forward i am afraid. I own a Navigator 5 and use it with a Ipaq 4700. The GPS is used in my car and would also like to be able to use it on my Motorcycle, hence this is why the voice warning me about a speed camera would be much more usefull and save me having to look down at the PDA all the time. Yur advice to me was fine but i have tried everything to try to make it work but with no results. My PDA version is 5000, so downloaded the 4890 data.chk file and not knowing which filder to copy it too i tried all folders but it will not work for me at all. Any advice on this subject would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Have you tried putting data.chk into Program Files\Navigator. This seems to be the best place for most users. I don't know why there are, can be, 2 locations.

Hi Richard thank you for the reply, i have tried putting the 4890_new.data.chk file in all off the folders but it will not work for me at all. I can find the folder that contains the original data.chk file and have tried to replace this file with the new one and then rename it, but nothing works. I am a bit new to this GPS scene but quite well up on computers and gagets and technology so wondering why i cannot get this too work? Just wondering but do i need to have that checkpoint installed before this will work?

Cheers from George

No. data.chk is part of the TomTom (albeit a modified file), and needs no 3rd party software to work.

Another thought, have you upgraded to 5.1? You will need a different version data.chk file if you have.

Once again Richard, thank you for your reply. I have tried every combination to get this too work but with no luck. DOH! According to my Ipaq device I am running version 5, but read on this forum people who have upgraded to version 5.1 say that it still shows as version 5. So I tried using the data.chk file for version 5.1 but still wont work. I have downloaded the extra voices from this site i.e.: Scottish, Vader and so on and they work fine. So think I must be doing something right? . I placed these in the voices folder as prompted. Even tried the data.chk file in voices folder. On my original Tomtom software the only data.chk file I can find is in the Tomtom folder so take it this is the one to replace to get the beeps to talk to me instead of beeping? Below is a copy of the version showing on my device? Hopefully I will manage to sort this out. The main reason for wanting these voices is so that I can have the speed cameras warnings spoken too me while riding my Motorcycle instead of having too look down at the device all of the time. Not very safe either? Thanks for your time

I have made a data.chk (sound file ) for Tomtom Navigator 5 with 600 and 200 warnings built in. The file and instructions are here http://www.predator.org.uk/poi.htm
They are as loud as I can make them and have a siren warning that draws your attention.
This may help especuilly if motorcycle riding.
Let me know how you get on

Thank you mystery man for the reply. I don't really need the warnings to be loud as I will be using earphones .Just want to be able to hear the device tell me 30 mph or 40 mph without having too look down at it all the time. Its bad enough having too watch the traffic. The ones shown on the Pocket GPS Site are perfect but cannot get them too work. Thanks again

HOORAY, I have done it. Just too say a big thank you too all who helped me, especially Richard. It was totally my fault. I was trying to copy the data.chk file onto the Secure Digital card and as you all know it needed to be in My Device/ Program Files/ Navigator. Anyway I am just a beginner and have learned something more. . THANKS TOO ALL
