910 with OGG Files (7x)

Erm, no they wont get overwritten, because you don't re-download the ogg files every time a new database comes out.
It's only the ogg files that he's renamed, because with this method they DON'T need to have the same names as the camera data files any more!

All should be fine Smile

It's looking good so far, Darren has had a problem with the files appearing twice in the list, but I can't recreate that.
The other good thing is that you can put the files in FOLDERS and the folders appear in the selection list too (you open them by tapping on them).

The only problems I can see so far is that a ) it only works with v7 software and b ) it would mean re-naming all the files on the ogg files collection page again so they don't all look the same on screen Crying or Very sad

I have just tried this method on my 910 and not sure if this is a problem, If I select demo route through TT home all the alerts play the ogg files correctly, but if I use the demo of my route on the TT910 it self all the sounds that I set it to warn when near ( the files in the sound folder ) they default to just a bell or whistle and don't play the ogg.

Not checked it on a proper route in my car but I would have thought that it would be the same on both demo methods.

using ver 7 software.

Hmmm...
Can you double check (on the device itself) that your warn when near settings still LOOK like they are selected to the new sounds.

The virtual TomTom in Home often seems to reset various things back to default settings (like the quick menu on my 720).

Also, I noticed a funny today that MIGHT be relevant.
I have some of my POI warnings set up to use the TTS voice and "type your own warning". If I then "disable voice" then those POI warnings revert to "bell 1". (I know "disable voice" isn't in the 910 menu but it might be something similar.
Can you do a few experiments and tell us how you get on.

Well some are now working but some still refuse to use the ogg files. Yet when you select an ogg it speaks the warning but will not use it on the demo or the demo route on the unit.
Then just to confuse you even more some that worked on the unit in demo mode do not work on Home demo !!!!!!!

Aaarg....

Thanks for the info, though. I'd better try some more experiments (never going to get this new voice finished!)

I have a 510 with the same problem, Upgraded the firmware to 7.161.
I have tried moving the ogg files to the sounds folder, but no change.

when I enable the "warn when near POI" for a camera type I can select the warning distance,

then it asks me "is the sound I want to select" without giving me any sounds to chose from, if i say yes, it returns to the main map screen ,but
if i say no it just says "no photos found" & I have to do a soft reset to get out of that screen.

any thoughts ?

Yes.
I don't think you have a problem.

If you read the instructions, it says when it asks you "is this the sound you want to use" you must answer "Yes", but you won't hear it or get any acknowledgement - that is the normal behaviour. If you answer "no", then it crashes - we know that happens.

when it returned you to the map page, did you actually try a demo route past a camera to see if it had worked?

If you have MOVED the files to the "sounds" folder, they should appear on the sound effects page, but if you have only COPIED them there, then the original scenario will STILL happen, because if there is a file with the same name as the ov2 file it will automatically take over as above, and not let you choose anything else.

I might be wrong, can you provide a complete listing of all the files in your map folder (including the three letter extension to the file names). Downloading "DriveZ" from http://www.snapfiles.com/get/drivez.html will help you do that.
Then we can get a better idea of what is going on.

problem solved, I copied instead of moved the ogg files. Now I have deleted them in the map folder it seems to be ok.

Good!

Ok re my last post about some ogg file warnings working while others did not, I have now got them all to work in Demo mode on the unit and in home as well.

I have named the ogg files in the sound folder to the exact names of the poi's that are in the map folder and now they all work as they should.

I now have all the help me oggs to warn when near like Hospital & Police station.
