I've just downloaded the latest cameras but when I install them to the SD card on the PC I get a message

"unexpected error occurred during transfer of POI file.......audio file not transferred"

help would be appreciated

Edit: model is 2589

Probably sox.exe is missing from the POILoader folder normally at C:\Program Files (x86)\Garmin\POI Loader

PS. You did download the .wav files not the .mp3 didn't you?

Yes the .wav files were downloaded and show and sox.exe is in the POIloader file and shows

edit: I started from scratch and downloaded a new sox.zip from Kremmen's "spoon fed" instruction link and unzipped it. It shows as sox.exe in POI loadwer

That error message is slightly different ( I think) from what POILoader tells you on a Sox fail.

Do you have any other saved WAV's you can switch back

I haven't any back up WAV files.
In fact, this also happened on the previous update earlier this year and at the time I put it down to a freak failure. I have been without verbal warnings since then but as my wife dislikes the verbal warnings it was not a problem.
Making a long run into strange territory last week prompted me to update the satnav only to find the same situation whereby the audio (wav) files will not transfer.

The best I can suggest is to use my Converter.

That has loads of built in validation and will tell you at a glance whether the sox is misplaced or the wav filenames are wrong.

Whatever the problem was it hasn't recurred with a new download. However, I now have another problem. Driving round Bedford today I noticed that specs cameras were not showing or giving a warning.

I modified my route to take in a few more specs (there are plenty in Bedford)
and none activated a warning or showed on the map. I know these cameras are in the database as I pass them regularly. Gatso cameras are indicated correctly.

The download shows gatso. mobile, redlight and specs all with wav, bmp and csv.

I can't get voice warnings when I approach at speed above the limit although that is a bit tricky to do safely. When does the voice warning activate? I know I have read it on here but can't find it again.

Sox is working as the wav file plays the bong and voice.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

My suggestion is in the post before yours.

You've got something wrong. Latest download works perfectly for me.

Thank you. I know I have something wrong!

If I can't get the basic download right there's little chance of me understanding the converter. Sad

I'll struggle on...or buy a Cyclops download - the one click job. Rolling Eyes
