Sorry Andy P..............you can call me an idiot !!!!!

I didn't realise you could SCROLL DOWN on the tom tom page that gives you the options for alarms !!!!!!!

But,I have manage to work it out now , so many thanks!

Please will you tell me what the abbreviation "pmobile" means in the listings as I don't know what voice alert to install for these and finally.............

will I be able to put voice alerts in for the French & Italian roads I will be travelling along tomorrow?????

If so, how do I do that and will the announcements be in MPH or KPH ?????

Thanks....... I think I need a holiday now after all this time trying to sort out my Tom Tom!!!!

Thanks for the support...........an excellent job, welldone

There's an explanation of the pmobiles on the camera download page, to the right of the database selection area.

No worries. What I do is keep the added audio files in a FOLDER inside the sounds folder, then it shows up on that sound effects screen as a folder which you can open just by tapping on it.



Note my actual sound files are named differently to yours. This is the "raw" filenames I gave them before sending them to PGPSW for the website, so "Fixed_20_P2" is the warning for a 20mph Gatso using Simon voice with a Polite 2 chime at the front. I find it a lot easier to read which one I want!
Notice there's also another folder I've added, with the original "Polite 1, 2, and 3" sounds in it.

--------------------

pMobiles... These are "provisional" or "pending" mobiles that have been reported but not yet verified. See the note "What are the pMobile files?" on the main download page HERE for a fuller description.

Depending on what voice set you downloaded, there may or may not be specific audio files for the pMobiles (the "Simon" voice I use does)
But if your's doesn't, just double up and use the normal "Mobile" ones for the pMobiles as well.

----------------------

For European roads you'll need to install the "Euro" camera database too, from the normal page HERE.

Don't worry about mph/kmph, the filenames sorts that out for you.

There are one or two "Euro" voice file sets available on the normal voice alert download page HERE. I know "Kate" has Euro alerts available.

You can just add them to the sounds folder like the other ones and assign them in the same way. Don't forget you can leave them in a folder if you wish (for tidiness).

Thanks Andy

That is a very good tip.

I guess I would put the voice files into a folder and then store that folder in the Sounds folder on the tom tom????

I'm just going on hols now but i will give it a try to see if i can get the european voice alerts to work for me.

Many thanks again

Jimmy
