TomTom talk

Visit www.lathey.co.uk and register. Once registered, you will be able to download voices ( defaults + celebrity ) for the TomTom and Speed Camera POI's that I have collected over the last few years.

There is also a TomTom theme that I have created for TomTom Navigator.

Is there any way to put multiple POI files into a single category on a TomTom 930? For example, I have downloaded POI files for Flying J, Love's, Travel America, etc. While traveling, I'd like to be able to search the nearest "Truck Stop" as opposed to searching multiple different POIs.

i am considering to buy a ONE 3rd edition - refurbished for $99
any opinions on this unit ?

thanks

Hi Everyone:

I'm a newbie into this awesome forum and require your kind help to convert this .CSV file (http://www.poi-factory.com/filemanager/active?fid=6453) into TomTom .OV2 format.

I've tried all my means (POIEdit and other converters) to convert this file but failed.

I created my own set of POIs and created an icoon for them. I tried to use red color, as specified on TomTom web page (http://www.tomtom.com/lib/doc/TomTomTips/index.html?poi_set_...) to show the icon as an ellipse on the navigator. The red color showed as red on the navigator and not as "see through color" as the note would indiciate. Has anybody created non-square icons?

How do I set a POI alert in miles rather than yards?

Also, is it possible to have multiple alert distances for the same POI? (e.g. set alert distance at 10 miles and again at 1 mile)

I've added the rest areas combined file as well as the accompanying sound and image.

I converted the csv to ov2
I converted the mp3 sound file to oog (did I need to do that?)
added all of the files to the usa_and_canada folder.

When I attempted to enable alert sounds for the POI, the newly created oog file was not among the options.

How do I test it to ensure that it works?

Thanks

I'm going to be upgrading my cellphone soon and need some info on compatible phones and my go 930. I've looked at the tomtom website and think it's incomplete, let me explain. I'm very much interested in the LG Voyager but according the tomtom site it's not compatible (at least the phone isn't on the list at all), here is where I don't think things are up to date.

Go ahead. There are many satisfied customers
who have bought Tomtoms and love them incluiding
myself. The Garmin's are very good units as well
but I bought my TomTom over the Garmin because
the price was better and it had more features.
I have become very weary of the Garmin people posting
in the TomTom area of this forum tyring to put
down the TomTom. As I have posted before, I love my

Anyone have one yet and have some feedback on the new Tomtom 730?

While fooling around trying to get audio files onto my TT1 3ed, I found a free audio converter. I basicaaly just clicked on the first google search site that came up. Seems to work just fine, really quick and easy download. Its called Switch, and it can be found at the following site:

Hi all:

Is there a way to create custom poi's for TomTom from a database in which the poi's will show up in specific categories? For example, if I have an excel file listing all my poi data, long, lat, name, and also with one row containing the category name (even category names that aren't currently on my TomTom 920).
Can I import all this data into TomTom somehow?
Thanks much

I converted the alert .mp3 as explained in the FAQ section, but I'm trying to figure out where to load it on the GPS. Does it go with the maps or alert directory?

I was wondering if there was a way to add the icons from this site onto my unit for poi's that are preloaded from the factory (ex: the speedway gas stations)

Hi All,

Tom Tom is much more confusing to me than is Garmin. With Garmin, I have to buy new maps every year or so. How can I tell if my 920 map is up to date? The Tom Tom home application says it is, but also wants me to buy new maps. Does anyone know how to look at the map version number and tell if it's up to date?

Thxs,
Jen

Hi Folks,
I was looking at this in-dash system for my car, anyone has any feedback or experience on this device??

Thanks.
TQ

Has anyone found a decent alternative bracket for the One XL (or XL-S)? I saw the ProClip online, but is is a bit pricey. I'd like to find a bracket to semi-permanently mount (i.e. - no suction cups) in the car I use the TT in most frequently. Thanks!
