Welcome to the forum, the old data.chk method is no longer supported, instead have a look at This Page which offers a far greater choice and works fine with the Nav 6 application on the PDA - Mike

The "sounds folder" method only works with v7 and above.
There is no folder with the original sound effects, they are all encoded in a single file "data.chk" which is what you *used* to replace.
Persevere with the other method, it does work if all gets put in the right place.
The sound files need to go in the named map folder alongside the Pocket GPS World camera data files and images.
Here's the instructions again:
Quote:
1. Extract the contents of the downloaded zip file and copy these to the map folder on your device. The suitably named ogg files should be placed into the map folder where your POI’s are located, do not put them in a sub-folder.
2. With the files in place start TomTom Navigator and go to Change Preferences/ Manage POI/ Warn when near POI (this MUST be done even if your camera POI’s have been previously configured).
3. Select the first camera in the list, if asked whether you want to delete or remove the warning answer NO.
4. 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.
5. Now repeat the above, setting up the POI warning for EACH camera category you have installed to the device.
Note that *normally* you get an extra step in instruction #4 where you are asked to choose a sound effect, but if you have got the sound files in the right place and named correctly to match the data files, then the system *skips* that step and assigns the file automatically.
Try it again and if it still won't work, tell us exactly what you've done and what responces you get as there are a couple of other pitfalls that you may have succumbed to.
Also, say which version of the database (single file, consolidated or speed-zoned) you chose... simply because if it comes to getting you to check filenames in folders, we don't have to give three sets of information!
