United Kingdom - custom poi files

Hi,
Firstly I must say this site is pretty amazing. Seen some really good things on here already.
I actually found the site because I was trying to figure out how to change my red light and speed camera alert tone to something a bit better than the current tone.
I have the cyclops pack installed (it is just the trial) and with this I still just get the tone which I am trying to change.
I understand you have a US and Canada custom poi file and with this the tone can be changed.
Has anyone else has success in UK or success with changing the tone using the cyclops alerts (which I doubt from reading the posts and info here today)
Of course the other option is installing the POI factory alerts but you do not have safety cameras for United Kingdom.
Thanks for reading and and advice or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to The Factory, PondJumper.
You can learn a lot here so stick around.
To my knowledge, there are no configurable options when using the Cyclops files.

Welcome to the site.
We usually recommend the following.
There is a "Learn" button in the upper right of this page next to "red light cameras" that takes you to a Getting Started page. 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 "Learn" 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.
Note that the Learn Button will give you access to two valuable reference pages -
the "Index" to all of the FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) and the Glossary of Terms and Links.
Since you are new here, I encourage you to go through a couple of the Tutorials.
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). It also assures that you put your (newer) unit into a state where you can see all of the folders there.

Welcome To The Site
Although we won't be able to solve your alert issue, you will find some very knowledgeable and friendly members here.
As member CraigW advised, changing the tone on Garmin's Cyclops file is not possible, you are stuck with the bong sound.
As you can see this site is geared for primarily North America Garmin users so Europe POI files are limited. There are no Euro Safety files but we do have North America Speed Camera's which include School Zone cameras.
