3490LMT Stays Quiet when approaching POI

Hi, I have a new 3490LMT (updated from a TOMTOM) I have downloaded the Safety camera POI files and have two problems.

1st, when using POI Loader it comes back with an error Unable to convert wav file to proper format. therefore the file was not transferred.

In the folder I have the WAV, MP3, GPX, BMP, XLS, so I assume the MP3 has been converted or transferred ?

2nd problem, when you approach a camera the POI warning comes up on the screen and a little speaker shows but the voice warning stays quiet

Everything is turned on in Proximity Alerts on the unit.

Any ideas ?

Garmin voice alerts fix

Garmin should change that warning info to something like: Install a file called SOX.exe...

stays quiet

You only need one sound file, not two.
I.e. .wave. and .mp3
Experiment and see which file your unit uses and only use that sound file only.
:wink:

Thanks guys, the sox file has fixed the problem, and only using the GPX and WAV files.
