New way to do custom POI warnings in TomTom 5 & 6

Not wishing to "reinvent the wheel", has anybody got a full set of .ogg sound files already named for use with the PocketGPSWorld camera database? If you have could you either email me a zipped copy, or better still post them up on a website for people to download? Thanks! Thumbs Up

As a reminder, here are all of the .ogg files that are needed to mix and match:

Hi fordfocus,

I want to use the ogg files but one question now that I have version 6.15
can I use the Data chk file from the SD card that came with my tomtom one.

yes useing this method bypasses the data.chk file and leave it free to be used for other warnings

You can use either method:
If you install an ogg file that coresponds to a POI category then the device will use this by default and not offer a selection of warning.
If there is no coresponding ogg file you are offered the choice of warnings contained within the data.chk file.
A combination of both is possible for the POI's - I only use a single ogg warning on my 910, TTS for the remainder, but I have tried the same on TTN 5,21 and mixed the data.chk warnings with the ogg warnings, and it is fine.

The one restriction is you cannot try to use an ogg warning AND then data.chk warning for the same POI it is simply one or the other - Mike

I'm running tomtom 5.2 on a WM5 C600 smartphone,

Curiouser and curiouser....
Do you want me to try putting an ogg file on a Go (running v5 software) to see if that works too?
Or has that already been tried?

Give it a try Andy and let us all know, I don't have the hardware to try it on a Go unit running version 5 - no harm in trying! - Mike

Privateer has just tried this new method using TomTom Navigator version 5,1 and confirmed it works fine (cheers Robert)
To date we know it works on 5.100, 5.210, and version 6

This has to be the best add-on since sliced bread. Hooray, no more bloody alarm sounds to blast you into the back seat. My partner hated Evil or Very Mad

the the alarm sounds, but this has calmed the beast :D

Hi Guys

thanks for the information I downloaded the files from ray’s site, just spent nearly an hour renaming and copying ogg files also found some of the speed files had under score missing added the under score between SPECS60 e.g. pocketgps_uk_SPECS_60.ogg and all worked. I now have a full set

I then deselected the speed cam poi’s restarted tt reselected the speed cam poi’s and I'm pleases to report that it all works on my ipaq 2110 with ttn 5.210
