Not such a good idea to be listing one of your email addresses on a public forum.

Below is a link to a sight where you can create your own .wav sounds to use with your POI's. Be sure to use sox.exe when creating your Sonic POI file.

I have emailed you a sample Sonic sound created with the program. You can create your own by changing the wording or the voice.

@don, Welcome

Welcome to the site.

There is a Getting Started button in the upper right of this page right under POI Files. It is worthwhile visiting this page.

To make navigation easy, most browsers provide the following option. When you want to follow a link - but still keep your current page open - you can hold down the "Ctrl" key as you left-click on a link. That action will open a new "Tab" in your browser up on the "Tab" bar. When you then left-click on that new "Tab", you will follow the link - leaving the "Tab" you are now reading open and available to click on and return here.

So, using the "Getting Started" link, you might try the "Ctrl" - left-click sequence and then return here. You can return by either "X-ing" out of the "Getting Started" page (using the "X" on the "Tab" itself) or just left-clicking on the "Tab" for the page you are on right now.

Since you are new here, I encourage you to go through a couple of the Beginner Education FAQs.

The first link makes sure the settings on your computer are such that you can do more advanced POI loading.

The next link helps you make a backup of your GPS by attaching it to your computer. (NEVER do anything to your GPS until you have a backup)

We suggest the above because we do not know how knowledgeable each new member is. Even after years here, I find that I learn something new every week.

I agree with muell9k that it is better not to post email addresses. poi-factory provides each of us a way to contact a member. That is by clicking on that member's name in some post. That will take you to a page that has a "Contact" button to communicate with them through email.

Mahoney is the member that maintains the Sonic site http://www.poi-factory.com/node/11717 but likely that is where you got the file. You might want to contact him to see if he has his own sound file. Also, I think that you can submit a sound file to Globe Turtle (aka Angela) (see How Can I Send A Photo, BMP Icon Or MP3 File To POI Factory? ) and it will be made available to others.

Let us know how we can help you enjoy your GPS.

Don has been around a while. He recently lost his windmill.

That Don isn't a newbie. He has his General Maintainer badge and his "hockey puck" compass rose for being a poi contributor.
