 |
|
I have tried all combinations of the database, for the life of me I cannot get the camera voice prompts to work. Anyone had any success with the 1690 and camera voice prompts?
I also have the Network Rail crossings loaded and the train whistle works fine. |

So did you load a custom sound for that, or was it a built-in one?
If you loaded it.... was it .mp3 or .wav format?
AFAIK you can only use .mp3 if your model has an mp3 player, and if you use .wav, you also need a file called sox.exe on the PC.
Are you trying to load the same format of sounds for the cameras?
Are you loading them all at the same time (along with the POIs themselves) by putting them all into one folder on the PC and pointing POILoader at it?

The Network Rail one was copy and pasted into the POI folder on the 1690 (as per their instructions).
I have tried all combinations of the camera database with voice files, MP3, WAV, and can't get it to work. |

A quick search on this site shows that BAVC10 (for example) had the voice files running just fine on a 1690.
He used the wav files.
Remember that you need to load them with PoiLoader (unlike the Garmin Network Rail .gpi file). And you must have sox.exe in the same folder as PoiLoader.exe
There are full instructions on the procedure on this site - just follow them carefully and you should be OK.

as 'dales' says above me, the network rail is a different beast. when you run poiloader it creates a .gpi file. network rail have basically done this part for you so you just need to copy/paste the file to the device.
with the speed cameras and other pois you need to generate the gpi file from the source csvs and bitmaps.

Thanks all, I missed out the sox.exe part of the instructions.  |
