Tom Tom One XL Speed Camera query

BobStubbs · Occasional Visitor Joined: Apr 09, 2006 Posts: 11

This is probably a glaringly obvious question but I'll go with it anyway.

To cut a long story short, my trusty Go 300 got nicked whilst on holiday in the US just last week and on the way back I bought a ONE XL to replace it. Looks quite familiar albeit I've got to set the damn thing up again but the main question is..........

Which speed camera database do I use from this site? The options appear to be OV2 files or Tom Tom Home files and, whilst the old 300 had OV2 files all though it I don't see any on the SD card for the ONE XL.

Can someone fill me in please.....

Cheers

Bob

Use exactly the same database as you used with the 300 - whatever you were good at, you're still an expert with the ONE XL. Laughing

if it's any help you previously downloaded the ov2 format in a mixture of speed-zoned and consolidated

Thanks guys. I'll do that just now.

I also have a bunch of .OGG files on my PC hard drive which I think were upgraded sound warnings that could be applied to the speed camera ones. Do I need to use them with this version? If so, I seem to recall I had to change the OGG extension name to something else but can't for the life of me remember to what......

Cheers

The .OGG files must have the same name as the camera and the bitmap, except ending with .OGG. Do NOT change the file extension. If I were cleverer, I'd give you the link which will tell you how to install and activate the .ogg spoken warnings. Never mind, somebody else will be along in two shakes and all will be revealed.
You end up with, for each camera in your map folder, an .OV2 file, a .BMP file and an .OGG file. That's enough hints for now - go get your expert's hat on and do the business!

Bob, the FAQ page item #5 should show you what is needed and provides a link to the ogg download page on this site where you can download a selection of spoken files that are correctly named to match the various speed camera downloads - make sure if you are using the Speed Zoned database that you select an OGG file download that coresponds with the POI set.
Dennis - you need to keep some of these links stored local on that expensive mac book Wink

Oh come on, why are you still using the keyboard? - voice activation and speech to text is the way forwards - I might be about to dabble in the Mac Book arena as I am fed up with the current laptop, but does the Apple device do voice activated ? - Mike
