Safety Camera Voice Files
|
Updated 8th May 2008 |
|
by Darren Griffin
Firstly our thanks go to forum member Andy_P2002 who has spent a great deal of time compiling these Safety Camera Alert sound files into collections suitable for use with TomTom Navigator Versions 5 and later (this includes installations on PocketPC, ONE, RIDER, and all versions of GO) and Route 66.
Thanks are also due in no small part to Ray Flanagan and his excellent but sadly now defunct web-site TomTomSatNavInfo for granting permission to use his excellent voice files and also to forum members 'Mullet' and WillyEarthworm' for their own compilations.
A detailed installation guide can be found at the foot of the page here.
Please Note: The sound files available on this page are supplied for your personal use only. You may NOT share these files on other web-sites, distribute them or share them through P2P or TT HOME without the express permission of PocketGPSWorld.com (or the original author if different) who retain copyright at all times. The original sound files remain copyright of their individual authors but are used here with their permission. Please consult the Licence terms at the foot of this page before use.

The following sets, (created by PocketGPSWorld Member ‘Mullet’) use the Liz Whitaker Voice set and have the option of a more strident siren added to the front. Also an approximation of Liz’s voice has been created to produce a “20” “variable” and “unknown” in this set.

Installation Instructions
To install, download the correct package type that matches your safety camera download type, i.e if you use the 'Consolidated by type' version of the database you will need the 'Consolidated by type' sound file set.
TomTom GO, ONE, RIDER and PocketPC
Version 7 Users Please Read Additional Notes Below
Extract the contents of the downloaded zip file and copy these to the map folder on your device. The suitably named ogg files should be placed into the map folder where your POI’s are located, do not put them in a sub-folder.
With the files in place start TomTom Navigator and go to Change Preferences/ Manage POI/ Warn when near POI (this MUST be done even if your camera POI’s have been previously configured).
Select the first camera in the list, if asked whether you want to delete or remove the warning answer NO.
You should now be asked to select the warning distance, followed by the Warn Only if POI on route – please set-up these options as per your normal preference, remember everyone will use different settings dependent upon how they use the device.
Now repeat the above, setting up the POI warning for EACH camera category you have installed to the device.
TomTom models with text-to-speech capabilities only (910, 520, 720 etc):
In order to use the ogg files you must select "Sound Effect" when configuring your POI Warnings:
Version 7 Note:
With the arrival of Version 7 there is a small bug that affects the procedure. You will be asked to choose a sound but will not be offered any options! You will be asked 'Is this the sound you want?'. You MUST answer Yes on this screen. If you do, you will then see the warning distance screen and can proceed as normal.
If you mistakenly answer No then you eill get a message saying No Photographs and the unit will hang. If you have mistakenly done this, simply reset the device and start again, this time answeringYes when prompted.
Route66
- Download the camera database, in the dropdown box select “Route66”, in the next dropdown box select UK- Speed Zoned complete CSV (23 files, and I don’t understand why you would want anything less than this) – Save this to a know location, for example (c:/Route66scameras) create this if you are not too sure right click the desktop of the PC and select “New Folder”, then call it Route66scameras.
- Dock and connect to your PDA with the PC, select all the bmp and csv files stored in the above folder (should be 46 files in total), Right click and select “copy” from the pop-up box.
- In Windows Explorer go to mobile device/ Storage Card/ POIS/ Britain then right click and select “Paste”, this will copy the required files across to the device.
- If you find the Storage Card/ POIS/ Britain folder doesn't exist simply create it before copying the files across to the device.
Further Route66 details can be found here.

Notes:
The ‘p’ (for provisional) mobile site category was added to the download package in 2007. If you select the speed-zoned download this will give you an additional seven 'p' files and just one for the consolidated download. This is an optional category that contains un-verified mobile sites.
If you decide to install them you will have to decide how you want to be alerted to them. If you want to use the same warning as for the “normal” mobile sites you will need to make copies of the relevant mobile warnings and rename the copies with a “p” before the word “mobile” each time. However this will mean that you have no way of telling whether the site is confirmed or not.
As an alternative for those of you that wish to use this optional category you might like to try the pMobile TTS Crystal files instead. They match the Crystal voice (Created by ‘Andy_P’):
