You can increase the volume in Tom Tom by tapping on the bottom left hand bit of the screen. (on the blue band). If you have that at maximum and it is still too quiet you have hit the limit for your PDA and its speaker. Your options then are to either buy an amplified mount for the PDA, which incudes a small amplifier and speaker (ccheaper) or buy a BT kit that will send the sound via the car's audio, using the mute function and input (if your car's audio is compatable).

If, as I suspect, cautrac is happy with the overall volume of the Go, but wants to increase the RELATIVE volume of the camera announcements against the directions voice, then its not so easy.
He would need to un-bundle the sound samples from his particular data.chk file into their individual .ogg format files; adjust the volume in a sound editing prog; then re-bundle them.
I think there are more than one program which will do this. For some pointers Ray's site is a good place to start.
It might be easier to try one of Ray's excellent voice files first, and see if that is louder/better. |

Andy, he says he has TT5 not a Go. True voices can be louder than TTs bells and whistles but I assumed since he said announcements he had already gone down that route. If assumption is wrong I agree that should be the first thing to do. I use Liz from Ray's site for both directions and warnings and the volume is about the same for both.

But the advice remains the same you can do what Andy has detailed on TTN5, its not too difficult (although that's easy for me to say having messed around in this area before) - IF you do try any of this back-up the working device fully BEFORE you start, then when it goes pear shaped you can recover to a known standard and start again - Mike |
