I know this is a dumb question but what to the poi's with sounds do? I been looking but haven't came acrossed it yet, any links to this subject would be appreciated to save you typing time. Thanks
They give you a voice alert
They give you a voice alert for a custom poi instead of the standard bong alert.There are some interesting sounds for some of the pois.
It shows you have a 255 so you will need to use wav files for that unit see http://www.poi-factory.com/node/25730

So the voice alert it gives
So the voice alert it gives only goes off if you select go to or does it go off everytime you get close to one of the many?
Thanks
Once you add the wav file
Once you add the wav file and select manual mode for poiloader and set the distance.The alert will go off when you select go to.If you don't select go to the custom poi file alert will go off if the coordinates are no more then 50 ft of the road of travel.You can increase that alert distance by using TourGuide in the name of the file.This will give you a radius alert instead of along the road.Works good for example adding TourGuide to Cracker Barrel since most of the locations are off the main road.Lot of users set the radius for 2 miles using poiloader again in the manual mode.
