Ash10's Camera Manager Software

Hope somebody can help, i have a Nuvi 660fm, i'm trying to load PGPS cam database (speed zoned) using Ash's camera manager with mp3 voice files, my problem is the voice files (30 files), dont match up with the created GPX files (5 files), the only way i can match up is to also leave the PGPS files in there but then all warnings would be duplicated.

Thanks in advance to anybody who can help, Regards Paul

Thankyou Ash 10 for the prompt reply.

I read the last 20 pages of this 40 page thread before my post. It appears the questions I raised were discussed on pages 1 and 11. Dooh!

I will try the fixes.

Thanks Ash, I am no computer expert by any means but the camera loading software makes things so simple Very Happy

You should be employed by Garmin on loads of money for creating software that improves their product and makes them more saleable Exclamation

Hi Ash
Please help since downloading camera manager 2.6 I'm unable to update my Nuvi as camera manager keeps saying that I'm not logged on to pocket GPS world and so can not check for updates. Crying or Very sad

I’ve sorted the problem on my Nuvi 310 to get Speed Camera Alerts with the (Ash10 Male voice) while playing mp3 music files.

As suggested a few posts earlier I tried loading the 2.4.1 Beta version of POI Loader with the Ash10 Male voices which I created by converting the .mp3 files to .wav. I used the Sort by Camera and Type option in Camera Manager and I selected the option to separate out Approach and Overspeed Warnings. I expanded the selection of voice warnings e.g. PocketGPS_UK_Gatso_Fifty.wav was copied and renamed PocketGPS_UK_Gatso_Fifty_Overspeed.wav to give me a full set of wav files. These wav files were placed in my POI Directory. When using POI Loader I selected the “Manual” upload option and for every file I checked the box “This file contains proximity alerts”. I then set off at lunch time and only the Redlight voice alert worked. All the other alerts were visual only, no sound. But my MP3 music track was only briefly interrupted by the one Redlight alert.

Encouraged by this I replaced POI Loader 2.4.1Beta with the 2.4.0Beta version. This earlier version of POI Loader is actually much better as it has the option to delete the previous POI file. I copied and renamed all the Voice files again to record the speed as a number e.g. PocketGPS_UK_Gatso_50.wav i.e. The speed number - 50 (not name - fifty) was used to match the number 50 used in the POI name. I now loaded both the alpha and numeric speed versions of the wav files into the POI Directory. I ran POI Loader 2.4.0Beta exactly as stated in the previous paragraph. I then set off for my 90 mile journey home. Eureka! My Garmin Nuvi 310 now works perfectly. I can listen to mp3 music which is briefly interrupted for an Ash10 voice alert then the track continues. The visual red banner alert still appears on the screen as before.

I have set my Nuvi to give a single POI alert but it still seems to give me a second alert 1 to 5 seconds after the first. To counteract this I set Camera Manager so that the Overspeed timings for Mobile, Redlight and Specs are all zero.

I am now very pleased. Camera Manager is great to use, I like the Icons and the flexibility of the options. My Garmin is working perfectly. I had started to ignore the “Ping,Ping”. I much prefer a voice alert to grab my attention.

Thanks again to Ash10 for a great bit of software. I hope Garmin update POI Loader in line with 2.4.0Beta to allow wav files to be used.

Apologies for the inconvenience, but the license server is currently down - hopefully it will be up again real soon...

Edit: should all be okay now!

I dont have a POI file on my C:/Garmin folder and ive used the POI Loader before to load some POI's.

Or do i set the directory to the POI folder on the Garmin device itself?

If you have used POILoader once before Camera Manger wil determine where the POI folder is from the POILOader settings.

Can I ask a few Garmin 'newbie' Q's! I have v2.6 of CM installed. Database has been downloaded etc. No issue so far.

What I'm struggling to understand is how I use/install custom voices and if CM uses Consolidated or Speed Zoned?

I can see in CM's directory that it has what appears to be a consolidated set of files in.gpx format AND a PGPS zip file of the pMobiles. So where does the speed zoned info come from? And for the voices do I just drop our CM version voice file pack .mp3's into the upload directory and use POILoader as normal?

Cheers, I've muddled through and it's all working. I think I'll give the voices a miss for now too!
