Tomtom One : Changing Sound Notification on Speed Cameras
Discussion
A friend has got a TomTom One, but has got the official Speed Camera addon (instead of the pocketgps one same as me, which seems to be completely different).
Right.. I've got the beeping notification on mine, Polite 1 being its technical name I believe!
Friend with the official camera pack had also got this beep, but despite me insisting it will be bloody annoying he wants to change it to the Big Ben sound (Bell 1?) but he can't seem to find a way to do it.. He lives a way away and it must be possible to do this, so wondered if anyone here with the TomTom Scamera addon could tell me how it's done?

Did he copy then into folder 'Great_Britain-Map' ??
And did he copy both the OV2 file and the BMP files over.
I don't use tomtom home for doing it (except for the back up before doing anything like this!!) do it from my computer, then click on TomTom and find the folder in there with Great_Britain-Map as its name, then copy the extracted files to there.
Oh, and make sure he copies the files (I.e. open the folder, select all, ctrl+c) as it won't work if he just drags and drops the folder

All the above has been done. Definately go for the pocketGPS version. I now have the latest one (december 2006) on mine and its working a treat.
I also have the "alternative" noises for them, too.
You can download a ".chk" file from PocketGPS which changes the usual Bongs, Beeps, Claxens and whatever to some proper spoken warnings like "Gatso, 30", "Mobile, 40" etc.
This makes it much easier as a reminder of the limit without having to look at the GPS every time it goes "Bong" for a Gatso.

But don't forget. In order to download Speed Camera POI's you have to subscribe.
Or know where to look on the Internet.....
If you want monthly and accurate up to date Scamera POI's then subscribe to Pocket GPS World. At £20 a year it isn't going to break the bank and to keep your licence safe it's peanuts compared to what it might cost you in the long run if you don't.
For those of you that don't know how to skank free and long out of date scamera updates i highly reccommend the above.

If you know where to get the updates for free good for you, but most people don't so the above is preferable. If you post the link of where to get them for free everyone might be as wise as you, but then it wouldn't stay free for long if you did.
