I have downloaded from gps-data the speed cameras files and the wave sounds alerts and the bmp image and i named them matching each other as follow
Speed_Cameras_NZ.csv
Speed_Cameras_NZ.bmp
Speed_Cameras_NZ.wav
C/programme files,Garmin,POI Loader,
and the poi loader has SOX file
still the sound alerts doesnt work ,
Do I have done something wrong ?
Do i need to delete the old POI that came with the Gps , it will delete all the POI
what is wrong , any help please , thanks
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.
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 )
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 ,
