For the benefit of others who are thinking of trying to install the voice packs to accompany the speed camera files on the Garmin iQue M4 (pocket pc). DON'T BOTHER, you will be sorry. I decided (just to be clever) to install the voice pack together with the usual camera files. Once installed, the unit wouldn't boot. All that was displayed on the screen was a progress bar indicating that the maps are initiating. The progress bar never finishes & the whole unit is locked & unresponsive. I tried to connect the unit back to my PC via USB to delete the files, but active-sync or poi-loader would not detect the unit. I tried every type of reset possible, but still no joy. After about 8 hours of trying to boot the unit & many many hard resets (& very nearly throwing a hammer into it) it booted up, but the touch screen was unresponsive & every task was met with a long delay & the busy icon. I was able to access the file system via the pocket pc file explorer. I located the poi file in the "safe storage" memory & deleted everything in it. Once again, I did a hard reset & rebooted the unit. Hey presto, the unit came to life & is now working just fine. Don't know why it is not compatible with MP3 or WAV voice files as the unit will play both using the built in media player. Anyway, sorry to bore you all with my sorry story, but if it helps someone in the future, then its been worth it. Cheers Smile
