Did you use EPE

Did you use EPE to load? Do you have sox.exe?

I use point loader and no problem with playing wav file on my 2555LMT.

If you are referring to building in alerts using EPE see http://www.poi-factory.com/node/28521 . Also as GPSgeek posted you need the wav and sox.exe installed properly. See http://www.poi-factory.com/node/25730

You posted that you have set up your alerts using EPE for built in alerts per FAQ http://www.poi-factory.com/node/28521 .Is that correct?

1.If you are using simulation mode on your device and touch go to the state park location. You voice alert will sound within the distance you set if sox.exe and wav file have been properly set up.

2.If you get in you car and set the state park as your destination and touch go.Again the alarm will sound within your distance setting.

3.If you get in your car and are just navigating or have set another location other then the state park. The voice alert will only sound if you are within appx 98 ft of the coordinates along the road of travel.

Example. I have Cracker Barrel as a custom poi. My alert is set for 2 miles along the road setting. Most Cracker Barrels are set off the interstate and very seldom will I get alerted unless the coordinates are close to the interstate exit. If I select a Cracker Barrel as a destination to go to I will get the voice alert.

To improve on the alert when just navigating you will need to think about using a TourGuide alert that will give you a radius alert instead of along the road. But beware it could result in more alerts then you want.

EPE

The batch geocoding function on my computer does not work.

Maybe this will work

I have this problem unless I open EPE as administrator.

Right click on Desktop Icon and run as administrator
