I guess you could repeat the

I guess you could repeat the alert in the .mp3 file. In other words, make the .mp3 file keep saying alert over and over.

what does the alert currently say? i could make one that repeats it 4 or 5 times. is it a standard alert from the sounds page?

Set the alert further out and it will continue to alert you. Try 4000 - 5000 feet.

That's a good idea

Does your wife know she may be drafted?

My c340 doesn't play those fancy alerts sound, but I have been collecting them for my next upgrade. When? I don't know.

Try another format

Bob have you tried converting the alerts to any other format, e.g. .wav, .ogg, or .wma? My TomTom One doesn't play MP3's either, but I converted one of the alerts into .ogg format and it works great.

I believe MM said that the Garmins can only play MP3 files at present - at least the ones that have playback capability. sad

Next time better make it a TomTom! smile

POI Alerts from Mac

POI Loader for Mac does not seem to have an option for creating/changing alerts - am I missing something or is the Mac version lagging behind?

.

The option doesn't come from an option in POI Loader. It comes from properly naming and locating the alert sounds with the POI files.

Click on the Sounds link at the top of the page and scroll down that page for more info.
