Lost Voices, [b]again![/b]

bazzza · Posted: Fri Jul 13, 2007 9:32 pm Post subject: Lost Voices, [b]again![/b]

This is really annoying. I have this problem every time I update the speed cameras. I don't rely on memory to do the update; I do it by the book and every time I lose the voices but then I can't remember how I fixed it last time (It's an age thing).
All the ogg files are there in the Western Europe file. On enabling the POIs I found that each indivudual camera type was already checked and shows on a route demo. When I go to choose the warning distance for each individual camera, it asks me "Do you want to remove Warning? YES, NO." I click on NO and that is all. I've read a lot of posts for clues on what I have not done/done wrong but haven't found any. Help me please and I promise to write the instructions on the wall and not bother you again.
Sorry, I also posted this in the wrong place.

When you update the speed cameras you only need to copy the new ov2 files to the map folder, these new files overwrite the existing (old) ones and thats it - you do not have to do anything else.
The warnings and configuration will remain the same as before, so I do not see how you are looing the spoken alerts? - Mike

Hi,

Assuming that it is the speed cameras from this site - then this is what I do each time:-

1. I choose Tomtom.OV2 (Home is not too friendly)

2. I download the Speed zoned files and save them in a new directory each time. (Generally PGPSW and the date e.g. 2007_07_10)

3. Next - I unzip all the files into the new directory

4. I then highlight all the .OV2 and the .BMP files and copy and paste them into the map directory of the Tomtom.

5. I do not change or alter any of the settings. I do nothing with the .OGG files.

Does this help?

Thanks RQ, you have described exactly what I have done. I don't use Home either. I stick my SD card in the computer so it sees it as a removable disc. I open it and open the WE map folder. I just download the new files to my desktop and unzip them, select them all and copy them to the WE Map folder. I went into TomTom to enable them but found they were already enabled. What have I missed?

No, I am copying every file in the downloaded folder, bmp and ov2. I'll try just copying the ov2 files.

Are you downloading the same database, ie, the new speed zoned file to replace the old speed zoned, or have you downloaded the consolidated to replace the speed zoned etc?

Lets just confirm whether the filenames are right or not...

Can you put your SD card in the reader, start up Windows explorer to look at it and check the contents of the map folder?
Whatever version of the database you have, the .ogg voice files MUST have the same name as the ov2 files. Maybe you have renamed one or other in the past, so now with a new download, the names don't match any more?

Assuming you have the speed-zoned files, they should be called

pocketgps_uk_gatso_20.ov2 - the data file
pocketgps_uk_gatso_20.bmp - the icon
pocketgps_uk_gatso_20.ogg - the audio/voice file

+ all repeated for all the other categories.

Please tell us if this is EXACTLY what you see.

Definately downloaded the speed zoned files to replace the old speed zoned files.
Against each camera I have an ov2, a bmp and an ogg file.

I'm going to put the sd card in the reader and study it. If I can't see anything wrong I guess I'm going to have to start again and download a new set of camera and ogg files.
One thing I have noticed is that I have a Western Europe folder and also a Great Britain folder. Can I delete the Great Britain one?

Hopefully daft question... You are actually using the Western Europe Map, aren't you? (Change preferences/ Manage Maps / Switch map)

All of the ov2,bmp,and ogg files have to be together in the map folder for the map you're actually using.

If this is all a red herring, we can get back to the previous exchange. Laughing

Once you've examined the contents closely, with a bit of luck all will come clear.
Incidently, there is a handy free utility you can use to easily post a listing of the filenames of all the contents of your map folder. Get DriveZ HERE

On studying what was on the SD card I noticed that there were 2 sets of uk mobile files, one set with an ogg file for each one and one set without ogg files. So I deleted the set without ogg files. On running TomTom I found that not only did I not get the voice warnings but no camera icons either.
I unzipped my downloaded files and copied them across to my SD card again and this put the files I had deleted back on and restored the camera icons when I ran TomTom but still no warning voices.
After I put the card back in TomTom I go to enable the cameras but they are already enabled. Is this right?
When I go to Manage POIs and Warn when near POI I select each camera and it asks if I want to remove the warning. Iclick on NO and it goes to Distance from POI. I click on 300 and it goes to Warn only if on route. I then click Done and run a route with known cameras on it.
Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks Mike. That works fine and is the same method I used to test before but I used a local destination which goes past 2 mobile 40 cameras.
Strange thing is that, after I used your departure and destination points which worked ok, I did another demo run using my departure and destination points and the warning voice didn't work.??? Do you have another test route that takes in a mobile 40 camera?
Barry
ps. Yes, I am using the Western europe maps.

I have run a few demos which included mobile 30s and Gatso 60s and the warnings work fine but I can't find a different mobile 40 to test.
