Verbal Warning regarding speed limit in camera areas

Hi,

Day one as a member so please bear with me. I have a TOM TOM Go and recently installed the camera database as described in this site which works fine. I have also set warning bells on the approach to POI (in my case all cameras).

I'd really like to replace the bells and animal noises with a verbal warning telling me the individual speed limit being enforced by each camera on my approach to it. i have seen the link to the 'verbal warning' download on this site but can anybody explain to me whether it is simply an option I can select on a camera by camera basis as i drive around(very tiresome) or is there a download that will allow me to install warnings for all different speed limits nationally in one go?? If anyone can help it would be much appreciated.

Please help! Martin23[/b]

Hi Martin23, welcome onboard.

Data.chk is the file that contains the 'sounds' for POI Warning. The alternative data.chk files can be found here.

Be aware that the files are Version specific so you need to be sure which Version you have and use the correct download. The wrong one and the GO freezes!!

If you want to know more about warning sounds, try http://www.tomtomsatnav.info/ where you will find details of Extended POI Warning alerts.

I agree with oldboy. I am using Liz's voice from this site for both directions and camera warnings and it is much better than the standard TT voices.

thanks to both of you for replying but there is one thing i still dont understand (forgive me if this is obvious!)....

What i want to do is have the TOM TOM warn me verbally that "30MPH camera ahead" or "40 MPH camera ahead" so i know what the speed limit is..... is this possible with the voice options i have added???

Is the camera database THAT good that you only have to assign the correct warning to the correct camera type and TOM TOM takes care of the rest?????

Thoughts please.....

martin.

Thanks to all who have responded i have finally figured it out and it is awesome- exactly what i hoped it would do. And yes the Liz voice set is definatley the best.

thanks again.

Maybe we should start a fan club for the luscious Liz (or maybe I just get out a bit more)

I like the idea I'm bossing you all around. The guy I work with on the radio says he likes Vicky better though!
