oldfogy...

You are quite correct, although it's Beep 1, 2 and 4 that remain with their default sounds. I can't understand that. It actually does the same with Vicky, I just haven't noticed as I haven't passed the relevant POI's. This must be a fault with the soundpatcher utility. Don't know the answer I'm afraid.

Any ideas anyone ?

Not in a nasty way and unfortunately,
but thank god for that I thought it must be me "again"

With mine it's definitely Beep1, Beep2 and beep3.

I did e-mail Lutz Benlin asking for a possible solution seeing as it's his program, but my e-mail was returned from someone called "Lutz Benlin (PocketGPS)" saying wrong delivery address.

So I remain a little mystified at the moment.
But thanks for the reassurance it's not just me.

Phil and others, If you are looking to use the POIExtend utility, with the Vicky Archer voices (or Liz for that matter) it will require a new revised version of POIExtend program, the previous iterations of this will not work with the new TomTom application, I am sure Ray will sort this out, as he has done for every release of TT software, I would wait until there is an announcement on Rays site that the application you are trying to use will work correctly – Mike

Thanks for the update Mike it's much appreciated.
I have also spoken with Ray, however we just have to wait a little longer.

Although the existing POIExtend program does "appear to work", just that it is not entirely (100%) accurate as some of the assigned voices seem to get lost, so it may be possible that these lost files maybe overwriting other direction files, resulting in directions not being accurate also.

Any idea when v6 might be coming out, as I believe this will be able to cope with more than the existing 59 files, (an extra 30).

The navigation voice prompts are in a completely seperate file to the warnings so I won't will cross contaminate the navigation prompts.
As to version six for the PDA, your guess is as good as mine, no idea, the only way of trying it at the moment is via the Go-x10 product range.
I didn't contact Ray with respect to this specific issue, but going off past releases it will get sorted out given time - Mike

As I said before there is no connection between the POI warning voice file which is data.chk and lives in the program files/ navigator folder and the dataxx.chk file(s) (xx denotes the number assigned to the specific voice in a range from 00 to 99) these navigation voices live in the memory card voices folder, along side each one is a coresponding .vif file and in the case of custom navigation voices (celeb voices) a .bmp file that contains the picture displayed when selecting the voice from the menu.
To mess around with the navigation voice prompts is possible but takes considerable time, there are other posts within the forum detailing how to take apart and re-build the dataxx.chk file (viftool is the one to use, but I would leave the nav voice alone for now)
I hope this explains the situation.
If you are finding some sucess with the existing POIExtend program make a note of the problematic locations and simply don't use them, try adding the same .ogg voice file into the application in one of the spare slots (you have 30 to go at). - Mike

The 15 slots are as supplied with the software, the POIExtend utility, (when capable of dealing with the version you are using) is sorted out will increase this number to 30 warnings, as I said earlier, I think you will have to wait a while - keep checking the sites for updates as it will happen - some people have day job - Mike

Bringing this post back on track, the reset method suggested by Tom Tom support has fixed my clock. Cheers to all who replied.

Mine still isn't fixed. I've tried everything. It did briefly work, until the internal battery ran completely flat and then reverted to the same old problem.
