Camera update problem.

Ricko61 · Occasional Visitor Joined: May 03, 2006 Posts: 19

After a right load of rigmorole last month (mostly down to me being thick)I finally managed to get the new system up and running with Liz's voice prompts.

Yesterday I downloaded the latest camera update and the bleedin' bells and whistles are back. I've checked the directory and the ogg files are still there, I've unchecked and rechecked the "warn when near" etc etc, but no good. Bizzarly, all of my favourites and Home destination have mysteriously disappeared as well (though this could be a red herring).

Any thoughts please from you clever people. If I had any hair left I'd be pulling it out now.

Thanks

Steve

Might you have the same problem as HERE?

If you have accidently added another camera file as well as the normal 24, it will take over with the default bells.

Or have you either renamed the new files or (more likely, renamed the old files, so the file names don't match the oggs any more?

What really helped to solve the problem in that link above was that the guy downloaded a tiny utility called DriveZ so he could post a list of the files in his map folder for us to look at. Could you do that?

Right finally sussed it out. I've had a look and they all look ok to me (doesn't mean much though).

Thanks for any advice.

Hmmm....
You're right, everything looks right to me.
(Apart from some extra .bmps (pocketgps_uk_gatso.bmp, pocketgps_uk_mobile.bmp, pocketgps_uk_specs.bmp) that look like they have been left over from an earlier install of the "consolidated by type" version of the database - you could erase those for neatness, but they won't help your problem).

I'm intrigued by the loss of your favourites and home location, though. As you say, that shouldn't have happened with just a camera database update.
It's ringing alarm bells because it's just happened to a work colleague when he bought the new map (and updated the operating software at the same time ) using Home. But you haven't done any of that have you?

We've not mentioned the reset button yet... Try that?

Also, there is another thing you could try, so long as you've made a good "copy and paste" backup, which worked for another, slightly different problem for someone.
In the preferences menu, is "Reset Factory Settings". I'm afraid I don't have any detailed knowledge of what EXACTLY this is resetting, but it worked! (Obviously the "Warn when Nears" will need setting up yet again though).

Good luck!
Come back with your findings...

The names given are for a V5 GB Map.

Which Software and Map are you trying to use?

Wits end!! Crying or Very sad

I've tried a soft reset, I've wiped the memory card and reloaded it all from disc, reloaded the camera data base and re-done all the "warn when nears". Its still bells and whistles! :x

One thing thats strange though. Last month when I was having all the problems setting it up in the first place, I was getting the same problem as a lot of people on the forum i.e when setting the "warn when near" they still had the option of the cow mooing etc. I had the same problem at the time, but with much fiddling and resetting, the option disappeared and the system worked ok.

Now I don't have that option; its "warn when near", distance, warn only if on route.

At last thats cracked it.

Thanks guys for all the suggestions and particularly thanks Andy for all your patience and for finally sorting it. Still not sure what happened and how, but downloading the "clean" version did it.

I'm going to back it up now Wink

then I'm going to try and get Liz's voice back. No doubt I'll be on here later.

Cheers again.

Steve

Yippee! We got it!

Here is
Mullet's versions of Ray Flanagan's "Liz" (left click to go to the download sites).

Right! Now that this is sorted, one of the other problems is still there. I'm not sure if it should be a new thread, but as it happened at the same time as the update, there might be a connection.

Also (pardon the wittering), this might be a PDA/Windows for Pocket PC issue rather than a "not knowing enough about Tom-Tom" issue.

My favorites, home page and camera settings (warn when near) disappear every time I turn the PDA off! Everything else is ok, but if I reset my home page, enter a favourite or set the warn when nears for the cameras, when I turn the PDA off for a second then turn it back on again, they've all gone.

Any ideas again please?
