POI's and Sound Problem on a 720 with TRUCK map

mikeshe

I have Tomtom Truck on SD card and put it into my 720. I have my poi's and PWGPS Speed Cams on the satnav on the internal memory but Truck does not see them.

Can anyone please give me a rough guide on how I get them onto Truck or at least get Truck to see them. I've looked at the files on the Truck sd card and can't see a map folder like on the internal memory, ie. Western Europe.

Also noticed that it navigates okay but I don't have any spoken directions. Voice is selected and sound turned on to use satnav speaker.??????????

Any help appreciated.

This is just grabbing at straws, but is the Sound Volume turned up to max?

The Map Folder will be the largest Folder on the SD Card. What is the Map called when you use Mange Maps - Switch Map?

The POIs and Cameras will need to be placed in the Map Folder on the SD Card to work with the Map there.

I got the spoken directions working by copying the Voice and Loquendo folders from the internal memory to the sd card.

The map is called Europe-Truck. Can't find a folder on the card with that name, unlike Western Europe on the internal memory.

I copied the poi folder from the internal to the card in the hope that this would work but it didn't. I really need my PWGPS speed cams and poi's like Keyfuels and Industrial Estates to link in with the truck card.

So what is the largest Folder on the SD Card, other than the Loquendo Folder?

Voices at 57.5mb
ASR at 17.2mb

All your POIs (including the PGPSW speed cams) need to be in the SPECIFIC folder for the map you are actually using.

So if the map on the SD card is in a folder called "Europe-or-whatever" then the POIs need to be in there too.

Just copy every .ov2, .bmp and .ogg file across into that folder and then do the "Warn when near POI" setups again in the TT's "Manage POIs" menu.

That's the strange thing Andy, there doesn't appear to be a folder that the map is in otherwise I would have put them all in there????

There is a little program you can download from http://www.snapfiles.com/get/drivez.html

When you run the program you can copy a Listing of any Folder to the Clipboard. If you run it and navigate your way to the SD Card, it will List all that is on the SD Card

Then you only need to Paste in your next Post.

It's a simple, but effective, tool and we can see if there any obvious clues there.

I had a little play around just now and found that if I put the sd card directly into the card reader of my laptop and let TT Home fire up and use the Manage my Go option I can select poi's to install from the computer.
I tried this option and found some poi's that I had installed on the internal memory and was able to put these on the card.

The trouble is that doesn't help with the speed cameras, although they're poi's they don't show up in that category.

Yup... PGPSW camera files should behave exactly like any other POI files, because that's just what they are.

But this missing map folder is still a bit of a mystery. Anyone else using a TRUCK map who can chip in and help?

Just in case it's something silly like hidden folders, when you look at the folders via Explorer, have a look in Tools - Options - View and ensure that you have "Show hidden files and folders" selected.

I'm on XP at work so not sure where to find the option in Vista or Win7 but it should be similar.

While you're there, untick "Hide extensions for known file types" if ticked so that you can see what the files are really called.
