Not a silly question at all (but a BIT silly where you'd originally put it )
Yes you can You need to use "Add community content" in the 'MyTomTom' support application.
See the camera compatibility chart for full instructions (the 'G0 800 Series' is listed in the same section as the GO 1000 models). _________________ "Settling in nicely" ;-)

It's slightly more complicated in that you used to be able to copy all the camera files you needed and PASTED them into the correct folder on the TomTom. Now you need to use MyTomTom to achieve the same thing.
Where exactly are you having problems? Are you following the help file from that chart? (There are actually two methods, direct links for them are here:
Installation Guide (OV2) - That's the normal one where you unzip the camera files yourself, then select them all in MyTomTom to add to the Go.
Installation Guide (Single Zip File) - That's the alternative where you download a special version of the zipfile but can point MyTomTom to that single file to upload (it's intended for users who find they have a bug in Internet Explorer that stops them from selecting several files at once in MyTomTom.
Either should work for you, if you can say at exactly what step it goes wrong, we can probably help. _________________ "Settling in nicely" ;-) |

|
|
I've followed your instructions for installing the database on my new GO LIVE 820 but am having problems when trying to pair the voice warnings with the appropriate POI. On my 820 I get to select the distance but on the next screen the only item is " warn only if POI is on route" with Done and Previous buttons at bottom of the screen, Clicking on Done returns me to Manage POIs page.
How do I get to add the voice warnings? |

Click the 'warn if on route' and you should be taken to a screen to select the sound for the warning. _________________ David |

Thanks for your reply. Tried your suggestion - click warn on route and then clicked Done but still got same problem - no access to page to select warning voice.

No, no. no.....
NOT getting a screen where you can choose the sound is normal and CORRECT. If the sound file has the same name as the camera data file, then it gets selected AUTOMATICALLY.
This is a real old chestnut. It should be easy, but unfortunately the old instructions for voice warnings were always separate from the main camera database installation instructions, and they have never got merged together since we got the new voice packs in the main download, so people don't get to see them!
The original instructions are still here
The usual method is "Method 1". Follow those through and you get to a part where it says:
Quote: |
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.
Note: You will be asked to choose a sound (Actually "Is this the sound you want") but will not be offered any options, this is normal. You will be asked 'Is this the sound you want?'. You should answer Yes on this screen. If you do, you will then see the warning distance screen and can proceed as normal.

Thanks for the answers guys. I'll use the TT820 tomorrow on my way to work - I pass a couple of cameras and I'll be able to see if the voice warnings have been automatically applied as you said.
I'll let you know what happens tomorrow night.

You could always set up a simulated route past them to find out tonight without you getting cold |

Just to emphasise... You do still have to go through the warnings set-up for every camera type i..e. setting the distance and "warn only if on route?" (your choice) for each one. It's only assigning the correct audio file that gets done for you. _________________ "Settling in nicely" ;-) |
