Here is a screenshot of my map folder, with a sample of the .ogg files.

I just keep getting the sound select screen

I would always recommend the Hide extensions to be un-checked as people often add the .ogg extension to the file name which results in something like pocketgps_uk_gatso_30.ogg.ogg and this simply doesn't work, if the files are named this way the device will not pick them up.

On the 910 if you are using the TTS engine to generate the warnings why do you need the ogg files? - they do work though.

Since you installed the ogg files have you been to change preferences/ manage POI/ Warn When Near POI and selected each Pocket GPS camera in turn and re-configured each warning?

You must do this even if the warnings were pre-configured it is the action of re-selecting the warning that forces the software to use the ogg file, when you get to the screen that offers

"Full spoken warning....."
"Brief spoken warning......"
"Sound effect"
"Type in your own warning"

Select Sound effect and see what hapens - for the benefit of others PLEASE REMEMBER THIS IS FOR A Go-910 - Mike

Anyway, back on topic,

I still can't get those .oggs to work. But as mikealder said, I might as well just use the TTS on the 910 instead

Hi

A few months ago I downloaded from one of the linked sites referred to from the forum the ogg files for my Tom Tom GO and find they are great compared to the old standard Tom Tom supplied sounds.

Does anyone however have the following files for the 20mph zones:-

pocketgps-uk-mobile-20.ogg
pocketgps-uk-gatso-20.ogg

and in the unlikely event of being required

pocketgps-uk-specs-20.ogg

Thanks in advance if you can help.

Mike

Hi hope someone can help looked at the download site for .ogg files but could only find files for Palm V5.12 build 5200 and these don't seem to work in that when I reset the warning it still asks me to choose sound i.e. bell whistle. the version I am running is V5.201 build 5344. Any help much appreciated.

The 5344 version you mention is supported, if you have installed this corectly when you go to configure the warnings use the "Test" button to listen to the actual sound, it might say Bell 1 in the text but it might not sound like a bell Wink
