Warn when near POI doing my head in

[sweepdog]

Sorry I've searched quite a bit and can't find this posted

I have a TomTomGo 510 and recently resubscribed to the camera database (speed zoned version). At the same time I decided to upgrade the TomTom Device software (from 5.something to 7.903). I already had the voice files so I just overwrote the bmp and ov2 files

It seems like I can't edit the value for "warn when closer than" yards and if I can get to the point of editing the sound association I just get "no photos found" (although the correct sound does play).

So basically I've done a reset in the pinhole, deleted everything and redownloaded everything to my device.

In my western european directory I have 4 files for each camera

pocketgps_uk_gatso_20.bmp
pocketgps_uk_gatso_20.ov2
pocketgps_uk_gatso_20_X2.bmp
pocketgps_uk_gatso_20.ogg

I've tried
Liz_M_siren_quiet_speedzoned.zip
Crystal_chime_pmobile_speedzoned.zip
but I just can't get this to work. If there are no ogg files I can associate a chime, but would rather have the voices.

Can anyone help please?

Hi sweepdog. With the four files per POI category in your "western european map" folder you should be able to set them up correctly.
To set the proximity alert can you just confirm the sequence you are taking? On my TT730 it is -
Menu page1 / Change Preferences / Preference Menu Page 2 / Manage POI's / Warn when Near POI. Then select the POI category which should take you to the "Warn when closer than .......yds/mtrs dialogue. After this you have the option of setting the warning message which doesn't sound when you select it and then confirm it. Elect for "Warn when POI on route" or not. Repeat for ALL POI categories.

There is a note that might help you at the foot of the TomTom Voices page.

Isn't this the bug mentioned about sound?

When you are setting the sounds (with .OGG files), you reach the point where it asks "Is this the sound you want?" BUT it doesn't play a sound, so naturally you answer NO. However, you actually have to answer YES and it then moves straight to the distance.

Thanks for the replies guys - I am going to go with method 2 then I can preview and select the sound.

I was also having trouble inputting the distance to POI (unit froze also), so this resolve the above too
