Hi Paul.

Thanks for the quick reply - I have been impatient Embarassed

Yep, using the POI loader. I'll try that out.

POI Loader error --- Unable to convert .wav file to the proper format, therefore the audio file will not be transferred to your GPS device.

I have a Garmin 760T. Do you think this is possible, maybe need a different audio format for the files or a different POI Loader?

Thanks again.

Try the latest version, however it is more usual to use mp3 format files rather than wavs....

POILoader is here

Make sure the filenames match the file you want to use the alert for.

ie.
GATSO.csv
GATSO.bmp
GATSO.mp3
Mobile.csv
Mobile.bmp
Mobile.mp3
etc

Then upload them all to your Nuvi. It may take longer than normal and may say it's not responding. Just leave it until it says it's finished.

Thanks again. As the POI Loader was also complaining it couldn't find sox.exe in the Program Files/Garmin folder, I googled for some mroe info and found the following link;

http://sourceforge.net/projects/sox/

Downloaded the sox program to allow POI Loader to convert the wav voice files as necessary.

Used POI Loader and it now doesn;t complain although the POI file it created on the SD card is about the same size as before so I suspect for some reason, it hasn't incorporated the sound files. Maybe I'll work it out soon, will keep trying until I do..... maybe I need to first use the Camera Manager to create the custom file that includes camera and speed, then POI Loader will detect that and include the audio files. I'll wait for the unlocked version to try it out.

Thanks again for your help.

Best regards,
Keefnet

I have the updated unlocked version, thanks Ash10 Very Happy

Installed the voice file updates to the POI directory with the Camera Manager files in my temp folder; Sort by camera and speed limit, and seperate out Approach and Overspeed warnings.

Ash10, I used your updated voice WAV files as per your link you sent me.

I have installed the sox audio converter in the ProgFiles/Garmin directory where the POI LOader is installed.

I then run the POI Loader and it runs without a problem...... note: before I put the sox files in there it did error/complain it couldn't find sox... so I assume it was trying to convert the audio files but couldn't.

So, the question now is, should the Garmin 760 be bale to quote the audio files that are camera specific? I would have thought so as it has the audio capability to read street names so it's up there with capability. I hope so and I am doing something wrong, maybe missing something.

Anyone else got the voice warnings for speed cameras working on Garmin 760?

Thanks folks.

Fixed the issue; found the Garmin compatible voice files on PocketGPSWORLD i.e MP3 rather than WAV's.

Working now Cool

Cheers.

Got the latest 2.6 version. I want to use it to import the full european gatsos into my Garmin 550.

So, I downloaded the european maps and unzipped them into a new directory. Ended up with some CSV and BMP files.

Started Camera manager and pointed it at the new directory. Clicked 'apply'. It hummed away for a while and then created a new zip file and some GPX files with all the UK (not EUR) names.

Is this a bug somewhere, am I doing it wrong or can it only deal with UK based files?

thanks

Alan

I am using camera manager 2.6 and it is saying that it has expired, I have posted elsewhere and am told there is a later version (V2.6) but that is the version I am using.

Have a good look through the whole thread - I'm not sure, but I vaguely remember this query coming up a long time ago.

Yes it was the Beta version Ash, I donated to the previous version am I still eligable for the new full version, I changed my email addy not so long back, I sent you the new one but just in case I will resend it to you in a PM, By the way if you require a further donation no problem the software is well worth it.

Hi,

I’ve started using Ash10's Camera Manager software to upload cameras and mp3 voice files to my Nuvi360. I have a couple of questions.

I am uploading 13,500 UK camera sites but POI loader installs 27,000 sites. E.g. If I go in to Where to, My Locations, Custom POI’s, All Categories I can see MOBILE:16849 and MOBILE:16849#70. Every camera site is duplicated this way. I have tried removing the GPX files from the download folder and refreshing them. I always remove the POI’s using POI loader before I install new files. I’ve also tried reloading POI’s using different options with the POI Loader but it makes no difference. This means every camera has 2 alerts. Am I doing something wrong?

Secondly I like to listen to MP3’s on my Nuvi. These used to be interrupted by the “Ping”,”Ping” and a visual camera warning. Now I am using mp3 camera voice alerts the Nuvi unit just interrupts the mp3 music I am listening to and randomly switches to the next mp3 music track. So I don’t get the “Warning Gatso 70” voice alert I have uploaded. If I switch the Nuvi mp3 player off the desired warning is played. Is this a general issue or is there a fix?

Thanks
