| Posted by davidxhoward Garmin 2699 LMT-D and POI sound alerts Bit of a noob to this, and I'm wondering if installing the wav files will give me audio warnings; I can't find much info on this model as it's quite recent Any help or advice most welcome! Thanks Dave |
| Posted by davidxhoward Voice files successfully installed OK, For anyone who has one of these units it is possible to have audible alerts; .wav format sounds seem to work wonderfully - I created some UK English files that are fairly good - the TTS engine I used has a voice that matches the UK English Serena voice on the nav. I followed the naming convention used on the add-on voices here, same bitrate, and added them to the folder with the POI files and icon bitmaps, then created a GPI file and uploaded using POI Loader. I may try putting the icons and wavs in a separate GPI to the POI's and see if the sounds and icons behave; then it will just be a case of updating the POI's with a minimum of fuss. If anyone wants a copy of the voice files let me know Cheers Dave |
| Posted by davidxhoward New larger icons and sound files Since my last attempt at sound files I have spent some time on creating some better icons; these appear almost the same size (on my 2699 LMT-D anyway) as the default icons, complete with rounded corners! I've made a set for UK POI's with sound files using TTS technology so they pretty closely match the English female voice, and have now added icons to work with French POI files with voice files - English language and accent as I could not find a Brigitte Bardot TTS voice sadly; so you'll have to put up with the Fiona Bruce soundalike. I'll zip the UK/FR stuff separately - drop me a line if you would like these Dave |

| Posted by narsamma Re: Win10 downloads Syseng, Do you use Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer? If it doesn't work use Google Chrome with a [right click - Save As] option. |
| Posted by syseng downloads narsamma I use Edge and Firefox, will try explorer and chrome. Just tried Explorer; that works. Thanks for that, I did not even think about Explorer. |
