|
|
Go300, V6.520, Camera V4.112.
I loaded the voice warnings without any problems but when I ran a demo of a route that I know well, the only warnings I got were "GATSO 60" even when the warning was for a mobile position in a 30mph area. It gave "GATSO 60" for all camera positions, types and limits.
What have I done wrong?

Sorry, I probably should have posted on the speed camera forum.

Thanks Mike. Just about sorted now. :D The only minor thing is that I don't have the spoken warning for GATSO 70. I presume that is a missing ogg file but I have been unable to copy the ones you sent me.

Barry, the file I sent you contains 24 ogg format warnings you need to unzip the folder then select "Extract All Files" (top left), there files are then coppied to the map folder on your device.
Once you have the files in place simply re-select each of the camera warnings in Change Preference/ Manage POI/ Warn When Near POI
It the folder certainly does contain a Gatso 70 warning - Mike |

Mike,
Sorry to be a pain but you have to talk down to my level, which is pretty low.
After getting in a complete tiz and not able to restore a backup, I deleted every file I could find that started with "pocketgps" so I could start afresh.
I then tried the Go300 and it worked fine, so I downloaded the latest camera database (TomTom OV2) (Speed Zoned Complete). I configured each of the warnings, and lo and behold, the voice warnings were still there.
The only one missing is "GATSO 70" so I allocated "GATSO" to it for the time being.
I cannot find any ogg files on my SD card at all so I was concerned that if I copy the GATSO 70 ogg file to somewhere on my SD card (Maps or Voices?) I might cock it up again. Please be gentle with me.

Its not the old "hide extensions for known file types" in Windows chestnut again, is it?
If you are seeing filenames but not the ".abc", ".xyz" bit, then open Windows Explorer or My Computer, go to the Tools menu / Folder Options / View tab and UNtick "hide extensions for known file types".
While you are at it make sure "show hidden files and folders" IS selected too. |

Sorry, forgot to say... the .ogg files need to be in the map folder, exactly the same place you put the .ov2 and .bmp files for the cameras. |

Thanks for the help Andy. Checked all you say and it is all ok.
Checked again the files on my SD card Map folder and there are no ogg files, only .ov2 and .bmp for the cameras. Did a search of my SD card for files ending in .ogg and found none.
I don't understand how the voice warnings are working without the ogg files but they are (with the exception of GATSO 70).
Do you think I should copy the GATSO 70 ogg file into my map folder?

Let's go back a step...
I've been assuming you have been using the ogg files, but reading back over the posts carefully, the first mention of them was from Mike.
Are you in fact using a replacement data.chk file, like the ones from http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/tomtom-poi-alerts.php? |

If you don't have the .oog files in your map folder and your voice warnings are working then the warnings are coming from the data.chk file you have installed. As you don't have a warning fromthe Gatso 70 it sounds like you have the modified dat.chkfile fromthis site.
you will need to put the original data.chk file back on you system, put all the .oog files into the map folder having renamed them to match the .ov2 and .bmp camera files you have installed then from within tomTom rest all the warning distances for each camera file. _________________ Graham.

The reason I mentioned the OGG files is quite simply because I sent Bazzza an e-mail, attached to which is a zipped up folder containing 24 ogg files. I do suspect the missing 70 MPH warning is due to using the PGPSW data.chk file though.
Bazzza, can you confirm you got the file I sent and that you can open/ unzip it? - Mike |
