I have downloaded the camera database for my TomTom Go live 1005 and it seems to have installed correctly onto my device, however I have noticed that the spoken alerts together with the warning chimes do not always sound when approaching a camera location although the bitmap icons are always shown. I have a speed camera located quite close to where I live and which I pass frequently, sometimes you get the audio warning and sometimes you don't, this is also the case at other camera sites in my area. Is this a general problem or am I missing something with my installation. I have followed the installation guide as published.

I have a GO1005 too, and I'm afraid I've never noticed this problem.

As you've got a nearby camera where the issue happens, can you try a few experiments?
I'd suggest you first of all try changing the alert sound for that particular camera type back to a standard sound effect, and see if that makes a difference.

how you do that depends on how you installed the voice warnings in the first place... The "normal" method has the voice files with the same name as the camera data files (so they get assigned automatically during the set-up process).
So I think you will have to REMOVE that particular voice file (using Windows Explorer) and then do the "Warn when near" set-up again for that camera type. You'll be asked to choose a sound effect.

If you originally used the "alternative" way and put the voice warnings into the "sounds" folder, then it's just a case of running the Warn when near set-up again for that camera type and selecting a different sound effect.

Thank you for your reply. I have already changed the setup for the audio files several times. At present I am using the female voice with chimes and I have also changed the distance at which the alerts sound. I have yet to test the latest setup which I shall be doing tomorrow.

Andy-P,
Have tried device out today and all seems to be working now except for the camera nearest to my home, although I have the alert distance set at 350 yards the actual alert does not sound until I am almost on the camera, all other cameras in area seemed to be okay and all set a 350 yard alert distance. I think that maybe the camera nearest me may be wrongly located on the database and I shall be looking to investigate this in due course.
Regards
Ericd
