Announcing speed cameras on my tom tom

jimmymerlin

Hi
Is it possible for my tom tom 910 to be able to announce in words what type of speed camera I am approaching i.e MOBILE CAMERA, TRAFFIC LIGHTS CAMERA, AVERAGE SPEED CAMERA, OVERHEAD GANTRY CAMERA.
I think you can set the tom tom to get different tones /bleeps for different cameras but I would like an announcement which tells me exactly what camera is coming up.
Thanks

If you download the 'Speed Zoned' complete set of cameras, thats what you get.

I get warnings such as "Gatso ahead, speed limit 30mph".
"Average speed zone, speed limit 50mph", "Red light camera ahead" and so on.
You will need to set the distance that you want each warning to kick in, takes about 15 -20 mins to do depending on how quick your fingers are.

That could be what you are after.

With the 910, you can then either create your own OGG Files to give the appropriate warning or, in the Warn When Near Menu, type in any Warning you like.

Is the current OGG File method not to your liking?

Can we assume that you are either using TT's set of speed camera warnings or none at all?

If you are not using this site's cameras and warnings then you are missing something! You'll need to join first - £20 very well spent per year.

Then, there are some great spoken warnings also available for free - they do exactly what you want!

OR are you already using this site's camera database but have not yet set up the voice warnings?

In reply to rfp2001, I am a memeber of Pocket gps world and have downloaded the camera database from the site..................... but I have never deleted anything that was in my original tom tom, could this be why I sometimes get multiple warnings?????

If I should have deleted the tom tom warnings that came with my tom tom 910, how do I do that now ????

It's not necessary to delete the TT database, just to set up the voice warnings to go with your PGSWorld database. But it is necessary to download the correct set of voice warnings that correspond to your PGSWorld cameras - eg if you have installed "Speed Zone Complete" database then you will require the same "Speed Zone Complete" voice set. Once downloaded then they are extracted/unzipped and dropped into your map folder. All that then remains is to go through your cameras and select the distance frrom camera you want.

Voice warnings are available from here

for free!

Helpful instructions here, too.

I am trying to set up the voice warnings on my tom tom 910.

I have just copied the latest updated list of speed cameras and ogg files into my tom tom.

But on the instructions I am following it show the following menu which says:-

Full spoken warning etc
Brief spoken warning etc
Sound effect
Type in your own warning

I can't seem to find this menu which is shown on the instructions but seem to go to the tom tom menu that has the various sounds shown ie bell 1,2,3 bleep1,2,3 etc etc etc

Please can you explain to me where I have gone wrong?
Thanks

You aren't operating your TT through HOME are you?

If so, for licensing reasons the LoquendoTTS is disabled.

I rename the files using a batch file and then use brief spoken warnings.

Edit
Just reread you rpost and realised you are using the ogg files - ignore me Laughing Out Loud

My misreading. Embarassed

If a non-TTS voice is being used the Menu Selection goes straight from the Distance Screen to the Screen that asks, Is this the sound you want to select? But only if the OGG file is present, otherwise you get the bells, etc. selection instead.

Have the OGG Files been put into the W&C Europe Map Folder with the OV2 and BMP Files, and do they match the Camera Type selection?
