I've got Tom Tom Mobile 6.0, is it possible to use the Voice ogg files for POI?

I've tried the ogg files, converted to wav, and still cannot select it from the menu, am I wasting my time, or just have it in the wrong directory!

any help before drive tomorrow would be good! Thanks

Andy, What hardware are you using the TomTom Nav 6 software on, if its the Mini-S or some other platform that uses the PDA version of the software then it will support the OGG files and you don't need to mess around converting the files to wav, in fact doing this will render the audio files useless!
If you are trying to use the OGG files on a Symbian mobile platform then forget it as it won't work.

Assuming you are running the PDA version of the software simply copy the ogg files to your map folder and configure the Warn When Near POI option for each speed camera category, use route demo to prove the warnings are working - Mike

The sounds don't appear in the list, but as long as they have the exact same file name as the coresponding POI file the software will pick them up and use them, OGG file support has worked with the PDA based software from version 5,0 onwards and I know it works with version 6,x as I used to use it on my HTC Artemis - Mike

AtoB or Advanced planning, set a departure point and desination then run the route demo and it will work in the same way as if you were in the car driving with both the Nav voice and speed camera warnings working.

Leave yourself a little extra time as its dumped another inch or two of snow around South Blackpool tonight (and its still snowing so it could get worse) I would expect Southport to be in a similar mess in the morning - Mike

Mike

This is a weird one, been on my trip to S'port and back, and the only new voice that worked was the 50mph Average Speed Camera voice, all the others just used the Polite 3, I'd previously set?

Do you think it's worth removing all the alerts and trying again!

ah, let me further investigate this!!!! I think I may know the issue here!

Firstly, the pmobile *.ogg are missing, easily solved by copying and renaming.

It would appear if you've already set warning sounds, you need to remove the warning and re-add, it's probably already written the parameters to the registry for the old sound file.

The case is Solved!

Mike, thanks for your help.

Hi
I've just started a subscription to Pocket GPS World camera database and have downloaded the TomTom OSV2 databases for UK & Europe.
Can anyone point me to the correct location to get the voice alerts & camera icons to go with the databases please.

If the "alternative" icons by Gerry C. aren't sent out with the database by default (I can't remember if they are by now) then you can get them from here

or my earlier versions are a direct dowload from here:
