Spoken POI alerts for TomTom GO, Mobile, PocketPC and Palm

[Jim-Bob]

Do you have a lot of other POI files? (not including the origonal ones). Evn if there is plenty of space on the card the go will only display the first few extras. I say few not sure exactly how many but it will display enough to show all speed camera files if tou dont have many others.

If you go over 40 of your own PoIs they won't show.

I have 45 POI categories on the sytem but only 3 enabled. These are red-light, Gatso, and continental. I do not have the other cameras appearing as POI tick boxes.

Better make myself clear. The other POI,s are the ones from TomTom

Hi guys

maybe Im dim or not technical minded or maybe both

read on - Just bought my very first portable Sat Nav system
tom tom 300
app5.000(4109/050407)


downloaded the speed camera /gatso and red light warnings no problem from the site mentioned in earlier threads but when I try to copy the file
(gatso verbal warning sounds eg Gatso 30 mph or something
2852.dat.chk (then rename it to dat.chk then copy it to my tom tom it says my card is full , so when I try to replace the new file with the old one
my tom tom freezes and stops working

then have to reset it to get it working again

at the moment it just has beeps or bugle or cow and a few others , would love it to be enabled to give verbal warnings instead

Do I need to get a larger sized sd card ?
I have followed the advice to a tee

downloaded the file to my desktop , renamed it , then try to copy it to the root directory and it pops up (full ) upon trying to swap the files new downloaded version for old it crashes,

what am I doing wrong here ?

Like I SAY , new to this , and not 100% up to speed technically either

appreciate any help

thanks

Mike: I had the spoken word warnings on my Tomtom Go with map v390 and firmeware v5. Now I have installed the new road map of the uk v517 I cannot get the voice alerts to work. I download them,open folder,select all, and send them to Tomtom,but to no avail. What am I doing wrong.It went so smooth with v390.Regards Mickey.

I received my new updated UK maps today and they are working ok, together with the safety camera database. I am now wishing to use the spoken sounds intead of the bells & whistles.

I have app 5.000 (4102/050329). Will I be able to use the file that is showing for V5 update. The version indicated for the download is 4109 but I have 4102.

send your data.chk file to tomtom@pocketgpsworld.com and we'll produce a version for you.

I have gone through TomTomTim "Quick and Dirty" instructions.

One question about the spreadsheet:

If you just want to replace a few of the sounds... what do you write in the lines that should be original sounds...?
