| Posted by johmazz2006 Re: Gps Lmt 2595 audio help Try using the .MP3 sound file instead of the .wave sound file. Would be good if manufacturers stated what file types were needed in different models. Would save a lot of experimenting, and keep customers happy. |
| Posted by Guest Easy way to get the sound alerts on Garmin 2595 1- download your favorite Poi files in CSV extension, you will find it in a Microsoft Excel extension and put them in one folder My poi ( main folder)>speed cameras(sub folder) 2-download SOX.exe and MAKE SURE that sox.exe (version 14.0.1) to let the sound wav alerts work and unzip the it , then copy sox .exe file ONLY and paste it inside Poi Loader folder like this 3- MAKE SURE that Poi Loader.exe and SOX.exe in the same folder like this C >programe files>Garmin>Poi Loader>SOX.exe 4-download any bmp image u like suitable for speed cameras or red cameras for example and put this bmp image in the My poi folder My poi ( main folder)>speed cameras(sub folder)>bmp image for the speed cameras 5- any sound alert suitable for the the Poi files , ie ; for the speed cameras and should be in wav extension , only new Garmin units support wav sound , if you have the sound in mp3 , convert it with any programme for sounds convert before you put it in the main folder ( MY Poi ) so you will have 3 files inside the Main folder IMPORTANT .. MAKE SURE that their names match each other , to let the sound alert work , so for the speed cameras, you will have Speed.Camera.csv ... that is for the poi excel file Speed.Camera.wav that is for the sound alerts or sound warn that u like to hear on approaching the speed cameras on the road Speed.Camera.bmp that is for the speed camera image that u want to show on gps screen 6- Go to the folder option and view folder , and uncheck ( that is after you uncheck the hide extension for known the files type ) and this is very important step to not double the end of the names of your files inside the main folder these are wrong extensions Speed.Camera.csv.csv Speed.Camera.wav.csv Speed.Camerabmp.csv the correct names are ( that is after you uncheck the hide extension for known the files type ) Speed.Camera.csv Speed.Camera.wav Speed.Camera.bmp 7- now open your Poi loader and browse , main folder , choose manually ,then next put the suitable distance that you like the sound alerts you before and next , finish 8- unplug the garmin usb cable from your pc and restart your gps 9- to let these sound alerts work uncheck the garmin speed camera that buit in or that came with it 10 - tick or check the poi that you recently add by going to your gap setting >categories now the sound work fine in your gps I hope it will be ok , next time will be with the speed alerts , |
