Losing POI Warnings?

I have no problem with the language used at all, and where I am you here the kids use a whole lot worse!!!

It just seems a little inconsistent, you search for some words and according to the Search they are (you then use Ctrl - F and they aren't but that is another thing).

If they have been used then they either, like you have suggested all need removing or just leave them all well alone.

There is also no statement in the rules section where it mentions language constraints, or none that I could find from a quick flick through.

Cheers

Carl

P.S. My tongue was slightly in my cheek as well Very Happy

I wondered how long that would take.

For your information it stuck in my mind about someone being told off for their language, and seeing some of the threads recently I just thought I would raise a comment, but you again have to twist it.

My TomTom has lost the speed camera spoken alerts again! This time however, I’ve noticed that they seemed to get dropped when using HOME but work okay on the TomTom when it’s unplugged from my laptop, or vice versa. Let me explain. Last night I plugged my TomTom into my laptop and opened HOME. I was fiddling around with the plan route in demo mode and noticed that the sound alerts for the speed cameras were defaulting back to the dreaded chimes. I then re-associated the spoken alerts with each of the speed cameras, re-ran the demo and noted that the spoken alerts were working correctly. I then unplugged the TomTom from my laptop, by selecting disconnect device in TomTom HOME, re-ran the demo and was dismayed to note that the chimes had returned. I plugged TomTom back into my laptop, restarted HOME, re-ran the demo and spoken alerts were once again working correctly. At this stage I realised that the problem only seemed to exist when TomTom was unplugged from my laptop. So, this time I unplugged TomTom from my laptop, re-ran the demo checked that the chimes were back. Now I re-set up the spoken alerts on the TomTom directly on the device, using the touchscreen. Once done, I re-ran the demo and was pleased to note that the spoken alerts were working correctly. I then plugged TomTom back into the laptop, restarted home, re-ran the demo and noticed that the chimes were back! Unplugged from laptop, and working okay. Seems that sound settings are getting saved in two different places, one by the TomTom device and the other by HOME. Somehow, these settings seem to be out of sycn. Does anyone have any ideas on this?

It's a known bug in Home's software (various versions covering at least a year) that you lose your computer voice selected if you run Home's emulator (Operate my Go) and you always have to reset the voice when you undock.

Not the end of the world but an annoyance that TT's software engineers could remedy with a few lines of code ... if they could be bothered to.

Well.......from your description, sounds similar in that other settings (like your sounds) get lost when running Home.

I've posted about this before, but I never lose my poi warnings. when I disconnect I get a message on the device saying I can't use the chosen voice. Then I just select Tim then Kate and away I go again.

I've never tried it without selecting the voices but I would expect the warnings to work as they are downloaded independently from PGPSW. Maybe they won't if you've typed them in yourself but then I'd expect them to work again as soon as you select a computer voice.
