Voice Alerts for POIs do not work

People

A great sit but I appear to be going around in cicrle, and my beloved "Speed Cameras in 30 Seconds", is nought but a beep beep - no voice. I have a garmin nuvi 215W - and at some stage this worked.

The Garmin POI loader - loads a file with a gpi extension but complains th Camera_UK.wav format is work, yet it loads other which are a copy of it with a different name. The other odd thing is that POIs are being shown after the grmon loader says its loaded the file. if I search for sub way - it does not find it?

So a few odd things going on. will someone give me a simple check list.
Please

The voice file must have the same name as the speed warning file, with a .wav file extension.

The Garmin Nuvi 2555lm uses mp3 for Alerts

I suspect that models that music playing capability will use the .MP3 sound files, and the non music playing models use the .wav sound files.

You can only use .vaw if you have the SOX file.

Mine still ping ping ,but I will get used to it.


Hi, Same problem on mine, you need to copy the SOX.exe file to the POI Upload directory on your PC, then reload the custom POI and the device will play the custom sound instead of Ping Ping, works fine on mine now
