Destinator 6 :: Acer N35 :: Separate speed zoned alerts
========================================

There is nothing radical about this setup - most of the previous posts already mention how to get the alerts to work - the difference is that this - for me at least - works with separate speed zoned warnings.
The bmp's show on the map, and the alert text in red is, for example, g40

My Setup:-
Acer N35 with Destinator 6 installed onto SD 1Mb 133x card

I have used TomTom speed zoned files - data plus bitmaps
( These are old files from when the data was free - now I know it works
I guess I need to subscribe to get updated data !! )

Convert data using POI Converter to Destinator CSV format
Open each file but save as g20.csv, g30.csv ... to g70, then m20 to m70; same for specs s20 etc, keep redlight as redlight; temp as temp. Keep filenames all lower case.
Do the required conversion in Destinator console to create the dat files
in c:\DestinatorApps\Installer\Console\IndepIndep\Favorites.
( I personally move these files to a c:\datatoload folder and copy them once I run activesync, as I copy the DAT, BMP and SPX files at the same time rather than letting Destinator download to my Acer ).

Use the BMP files from the Speed zoned data
Again, rename to g30.bmp, g40.bmp etc. to match the data files....

Speech - Download OGG files from the link posted by others
Convert OGG to SPX with Ease Audio converter and rename to g20.spx g30.spx etc... to match the data files.

Amend the DestinatorMSG.Inf file : (Optional)
This will allow addional distances to be added or amended - the data must be in metres as it is converted internally by Destinator to yards - my examples give more appropriate yards options.
(Take a copy to your C:Drive first as backup and rename it. Edit it as below and then save it as the original file name. Delete the original from the Acer and then copy the new file
back to the Acer. This is better than trying to overwrite the original which will not always work).

section: POI Dialog

IDS DYNPOI ALERTED DISTANCES

Amend to the figures shown to 46;69;91;183;366;549 - this will give you sensible yards options for alerted distances.
Once the files have been copied to their correct locations -
Place a tick against the alerts you want and remember to set the two alert distances.

Has anybody else tried this and been successful or unsuccessful?
or is no news good news....
I realise with hindsight that perhaps my post was lacking in detail in some parts - I wrote it with my daytime job of IT support head on!.
