Hello DiddyDave,

Checkout RayFlan's site

http://www.rayflanagan.co.uk/index.html

There are a number of warning files already created - See POI warning sounds.

He will even make you a customised file with your specific warnings in - See Custom POI sounds.

I have copied the 5.10 5160 into sd-mmcard\tomtom directory and still get the standard beeps.

Any Ideas ?

i have already changed the poi warning sounds for gatso's what i am after is the ability to changethe spoke directional commands that happen when travelling, e.g. "after 200yrds turn right" to a mates voice

Using a TomTom GO 500 , I have the same problem as ....

In response to my own posting above.

Yep I RTFM just not all the FM's.

Inside the zipped up POI database file there is a readme file "Which files should I use.txt" detailing that there are multiple sets of camera POI's in the zip file.

One set, the set I was previously using, are organised by camera type...

    csv files\other

However, in a different directory we have groups by speed..

    speed zoned\gatso


  and


    speed zoned\mobile

I'm going to try this latter set now.

I guess I need the following ....

All the speed specific files from these dirs ...


    speed zoned\gatso


    speed zoned\mobile


plus these individual files...


   ov2 bmp files\pocketgps_uk_redlight.ov2


   ov2 bmp files\pocketgps_uk_specs.ov2


   ov2 bmp files\pocketgps_uk_temp.ov2


I guess I don't need this one ...


   ov2 bmp files\pocketgps_continental.ov2


?

Then manually assign the voice warnings to these db's

On this page http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/tomtom-go-poi-alerts.php
you might want to mention which POI files you need to install in order to make use of the spoken alerts.

I guess we need the following ....

All the speed specific files from these dirs ...

speed zoned\gatso
speed zoned\mobile

plus these individual files...

ov2 bmp files\pocketgps_uk_redlight.ov2
ov2 bmp files\pocketgps_uk_specs.ov2
ov2 bmp files\pocketgps_uk_temp.ov2

I guess I don't need this one ...

ov2 bmp files\pocketgps_continental.ov2
