Custom POI Warnings for TomTom 5 and 6 - EXCLUSIVE

pocketgpsworld.com TomTom have made us aware of a different way to use custom POI warnings in TomTom 5 and 6 versions. This will remove the need for manipulating the data.chk file, and is much more flexible.

Here's what you need to do:

For each of your OV2 files, create a warning sound in OGG format with exactly the same name. So if you have a BP.ov2 file, create a BP.ogg file and place it in the same map folder. (We recommend 22050 Hz sampling rate but it should not matter)

When you restart TomTom, the new sound will automatically be used (you may need to re-set the warning distance). Cool, ah?

A good source for ogg files is Ray's site. But you can of course also use your own creations.
