Hi all,
I got a Navman Pin 300 with Smart ST v3 and memory map for xmas. (Well to be honest I bought it for myself!!)
I am very satisfied with the Mitac Mio, the gps accuracy and speed of fixes, and the memory map software is superb. I am a less satisfied with the Smart ST road nav software, the mapping is nowhere near up to date (eg one way streets that have been one way for at least 7 years are shown as 2 way, my own road - 6 years old- is present but completely mismapped - ie. the wrong shape, and whole towns can sometimes fail to appear in the search facility despite being present on the maps) all in all though, as I have never had a similar product before, I am quite amazed by its abilities. One of the very useful aspects of the Smart ST software is the ability to use the safety camera database, and herein lies my question.
I have managed to fiddle with the files to put them into the format that Smart ST can recognise and imported them to the device successfully and they work. What I would like to do is to associate the sound files supplied with the database with the cameras so that if I approach a camera in a 40mph limit the machine will warn me with the speed limit instead of just a chime. I am reasonably computer savvy but I just cannot find a way to do this. Can anyone enlighten me??

Not currently possible to do that.
You can change the default chime to another sound by replacing the wav file called 'cosmicl.wav' with any other wav file of your choice. As long as it has the name cosmicl.wav it will play but you cannot have different chimes for different POI's.
Simply connect the PiN to your PC via active sync and browse the directory until you find the cosmicl file and replace it.
If you want more info, search the forums for 'cosmicl' - this subject has been covered in more detail elsewhere.

This is nothing to do with SmartST - this is the fault of TeleAtlas the map data provider and to some extent, all products using TeleAtlas maps suffer the same problem.
It could be worse, SmartSTv3 has more up to date mapping than the current TTN3 _________________ Ian.
