Beta version of POI loader (Garmin)

Barncluith

Whenever I download the beta version of the PoiLoader for my Garmin (to enable me to load wav versions of the Andy Siddell voice alerts) I keep getting the following error message when I try to open the application:-

Incorrect or missing language dll file. Please reinstall PoiLoader_Lang.dll.

Any idea what the problem is would be much appreciated.

Where do you find the beta version?

I read recently somewhere on here that the latest version of POILoader now supports wav again, in which case the beta versiuon is no longer needed?

Thanks.

I noticed from the list that Paul provided, there is a POIloader for Windows 253.exe. I will download it and try that version.

The POILoader for Windows 253.exe does not appear to work.

Did you download it from the Garmin link I gave you in the second posting?
It works for me since August.

I have downloaded from eyeQue's link and used that version to update my Garmin 205W. Although I have not been able to use the unit in practice (pass a speed camera) I cannot see the .wav files on my sat nav.

Have now tried sat nav in practice and all I get is a bleeb warning. No voice warning.

Yet a further update.

Having read through a host of topics and threads on this issue, I have downloaded the POILoader that is supposed to support wav files (version 2.5.2), a utility called sox.exe and have converted the voice files from MP3 to wav (PCM 44.100KHz, 16 bit, mono). However, whenever I approach a speed camera all I get is the bing bong warning, no voice alert.

Has anypone got the voice alerts to work with a Gamin 205W?

Paul,

When I look at the various POILoader options there is a 242.exe (no beta suffix) the only versions with a beta suffix are 2400 and 2401.

Which one do you suggest I try?

I've cracked it!!

I was using the wrong speed camera database. When I used "Speed Zone by Type" instead of "Consolidated by Type" the voice alerts worked. It would appear that POILoader 2.5.2 along with sox.exe works for wav files.
