Spoken camera warnings

bazzza · Posted: Thu Nov 30, 2006 12:18 am Post subject: Spoken camera warnings

Go300, V6.520, Camera V4.112.
I loaded the voice warnings without any problems but when I ran a demo of a route that I know well, the only warnings I got were "GATSO 60" even when the warning was for a mobile position in a 30mph area. It gave "GATSO 60" for all camera positions, types and limits.
What have I done wrong?

Sorry, I probably should have posted on the speed camera forum.

Barry, which speed camera database have you installed to your TomTom device - Mike

bazzza · Posted: Thu Nov 30, 2006 1:12 am Post subject:

Hi Mike.
PGPSW Version 4.112.

Speed Zoned, consolodated or single file? - either way I have sent you an e-mail that should sort things out - Mike

Thanks Mike. Just about sorted now. :D The only minor thing is that I don't have the spoken warning for GATSO 70. I presume that is a missing ogg file but I have been unable to copy the ones you sent me.

Barry, the file I sent you contains 24 ogg format warnings you need to unzip the folder then select "Extract All Files" (top left), there files are then coppied to the map folder on your device.
Once you have the files in place simply re-select each of the camera warnings in Change Preference/ Manage POI/ Warn When Near POI
It the folder certainly does contain a Gatso 70 warning - Mike

Mike,
Sorry to be a pain but you have to talk down to my level, which is pretty low.
After getting in a complete tiz and not able to restore a backup, I deleted every file I could find that started with "pocketgps" so I could start afresh.
I then tried the Go300 and it worked fine, so I downloaded the latest camera database (TomTom OV2) (Speed Zoned Complete). I configured each of the warnings, and lo and behold, the voice warnings were still there.
The only one missing is "GATSO 70" so I allocated "GATSO" to it for the time being.
I cannot find any ogg files on my SD card at all so I was concerned that if I copy the GATSO 70 ogg file to somewhere on my SD card (Maps or Voices?) I might cock it up again. Please be gentle with me.

Its not the old "hide extensions for known file types" in Windows chestnut again, is it?

If you are seeing filenames but not the ".abc", ".xyz" bit, then open Windows Explorer or My Computer, go to the Tools menu / Folder Options / View tab and UNtick "hide extensions for known file types".
While you are at it make sure "show hidden files and folders" IS selected too.

Sorry, forgot to say... the .ogg files need to be in the map folder, exactly the same place you put the .ov2 and .bmp files for the cameras.

Thanks for the help Andy. Checked all you say and it is all ok.
Checked again the files on my SD card Map folder and there are no ogg files, only .ov2 and .bmp for the cameras. Did a search of my SD card for files ending in .ogg and found none.
I don't understand how the voice warnings are working without the ogg files but they are (with the exception of GATSO 70).
Do you think I should copy the GATSO 70 ogg file into my map folder?

Bazzza Confused

Let's go back a step...
I've been assuming you have been using the ogg files, but reading back over the posts carefully, the first mention of them was from Mike.
Are you in fact using a replacement data.chk file, like the ones from http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/tomtom-poi-alerts.php?

The reason I mentioned the OGG files is quite simply because I sent Bazzza an e-mail, attached to which is a zipped up folder containing 24 ogg files. I do suspect the missing 70 MPH warning is due to using the PGPSW data.chk file though.
Bazzza, can you confirm you got the file I sent and that you can open/ unzip it? - Mike

At least we agree Laughing
