As the voices are quite boring on the Co pilot software I was wondering if any one knew whether it's possible to get any different voices?
If so where from?
you shopuld in theaory be able to use ogg voice files for cp6
Cool! I'm going to have to try that!
I'm well to wet bwhind the ears to be able to do anythig complicated at the mo, still learning.
Anywhere I can download or buy a set of voices that install themselves so i can just chose a new voice?
try looking on ebay.. i got loads of voices and maps from there and it all works.. like Naughty Natalie alot? Your find out why..

Means I gotta buy it
Got the copilot as part of my upgrade deal......
Can't find anything on the net about where to get different voices for Copilot, just references to the fact it can be done
All help appreciated
I have TomTom and CoPilot and much prefer CoPilot but would be cool to get other voices.
Still hoping for an easy option.................................
If you explore the files on your storage card, you'll find the voices under:
\Storage Card\COPILOT\SPEECH\<Language>\<VoiceName>
The default UK voice is under:
\Storage Card\COPILOT\SPEECH\UK English\Jane
If you copied the 'Jane' directory, you could create a new voice set by copying over the .ogg files within it with your own samples, saved in .ogg format at 22.05 Khz. There's a free program called 'Audacity' that you can do that kind of thing with...
Firstly, I wouldnt copy files over Janes files, create a new directory at the same level and call it say JohnCleese. Copy the new ogg files in there and use settings to set that as your language settings.
There are various voices that can be downloaded from the internet for TomTom.
See the posting below for details of how to extract the individual files from the TomTom formatted file.
http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=33804&highlight=tomtom+voice
Once you have the individual files you need to use something like Wavepad to combine the TomTom files to create the same file for copilot. (Copy the files from your SD card onto your PC to see what files you need)
In some cases copilot has 1 file where tomtom uses two files. Roundabouts are the prime example. Copilot has one for "1st exit at roundabout". Tom Tom has 2 "At the roundabout take the " and another for the "first exit". You can use Wavepad to combine files so that is relatively easy.
The 1 mile and 2 mile warnings are the worst as I couldnt find John Cleese saying mile so I put in "800 yards and 800 yards".
Anyway....
I have added to zip files which contains the original extracted John Clees Files. Another contains some combined ones, in come cases I just included the Jane voice. If someone does a better job, let me know and I will add the updated direction to my orbit.
the link seems like a load og hard work just to put a voice on the copilot, why isnt it just as simple as adding one to the tomtom
CoPilot 7 voices
The blog on the CoPilot website explains how you can even record your own voice for the commands:-

Hi,
I've been using my Artemis for 2-3 weeks now and i absolutely love it, even more so after installing Meschle's Rom (thanks for that one).
I'm always discovering new things to do with my artemis and unfortunately in doing so i also discover things i can't figure out for myself. So i hope some of the forum veterans can provide me with an answer to any of the following questions:
1. I installed PocketGba and it runs very well for the most part. But when trying to run games like Fire Emblem GBA it says 'insufficient memory'. I've been reading through a lot of pages concerning this and discovered it has to do with memory allocation. The question is: how can i safely relocate memory to play these bigger kind of games?
2. I set up my Outlook work account on my Artemis and i was wondering how i could change the setting as to receive the mail on my storage card.
3. Which of these applications is better than the built-in calendar: Agenda Fusion, SPB Diary or SBSH? I would just like a better organizer for appointments and such. If i install one of these, will there be any conflict problems with the present organizer? Can i transfer existing appointments to the new organizer?
4. How can I change my contacts as to display only contacts stored on the phone (no longer double displaying with sim contacts)?
5. How can i add and save words to the XT9 dictionary? Adding isn't the problem here, but keeping them for future use is.
6. In trying to re-install TomTom Navigator 6 some strange things have happened. As it turns out, TomTom didn't install correctly and is spread among a couple of folders. Can someone tell me if it's save to delete these folders and try installing Navigator again?
Showing under My Device: Program Files > Navigator: contacts, itn, logging, voices, navigator, ttnavigator.
Showing under Storage Card: My Documents > TomTom : empty folder
Showing under Storage Card: ttnavigator.
Can i safely remove all these files manually? If i want to re-install TT6...can i just put it on my storage card and run the program from my storage card?
Also, how do i create shortcuts on my device to programs stored on my storage card?
7. I'm using the installed Java Midlet manager Jbed and have thus far installed Opera Mini on it. I'm also trying to download games to my phone. For example: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. I tried everything but i just can't seem to download the game to my Artemis. Nor from the eamobile site, nor through vodafone live portal. Any help here would be greatly appreciated (also indicating which phone version of these kind of games is best suited to the Artemis, for example Nokia N series).
That's about it for now ))))
Thanks!!
Excellent questions. I thought I'd be able to help, but I'm kinda stumped on most of them. I'm also using a ROM from Meschle, and I'm using Agenda fusion for the home page. It's free, simple, and very customizable. Don't know about the others.
I haven't used the GBA emulator yet, but I am using a full Nintendo emulator and games run fine on my device. I'm thinking your memory issue is a problem with the settings or you my just have to find another emulator.
And with TomTom, I've never had a problem installing that program. How are you installing it? Cab file? I have a cab file I can email you if your interested. I just bought the software and copied the cab file from the CD. Works everytime.
re tom tom cab file
Hi I have the tom tom cab file, but only have the map for part of ni can anyone mail me the map for the uk?
Cheers all

Heres answer to your question 2 and 4.
UnShow Contacts from Sim
HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\ShowSim
Normally the value is 1! Set this to 0 and soft reset!
-------
Change the location of email and attachments
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\MAPI\PropertyPath =
"\Storage Card\Mail" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\MAPI\AttachPath =
"\Storage Card\Mail\Attachments" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
To return to the original location:
Just simply delete these Registry settings (since neither is included by default).
----------
Change the location of Temporary Internet Files
When browsing the web, pages and images are saved in the 'Temporary Internet Files' location. You can change this location to, for example, your Storage Card:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\Cache = "\Storage Card\cacheie" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
Thanks nm8.
I am using the Touch lite rom from Meschle. And I don't think it comes with a registry editor. Is it worth getting Resco or is there a better, free alternative? I was looking at Schap's advanced config tool. But i'm guessing it doesn't allow registry changing. It does seem to allow to disable displaying sim contacts. Don't know if it also allows for changing the storage of e-mail and attachments to storage card.
All in all i think it's probably safer for a newbie to get the advanced config tool instead of trying to change registry settings, right?
The only thing i find strange is that Meschle indicates that the total free program memory should be 25MB. I have only installed a couple of extra programs (on storage card) and my device says it only has 16.9 MB free.
After disabling Cube and soft resetting device I gained 22MB free program memory. I can now load and run Fire Emblem on PocketGba. Unfortunately the device freezes when a battle is about to take place. Seems like the Artemis isn't really equipped to play these kinds of games. Same thing happens when changing video display and such. Shame. If anyone knows of a solution...
Disabled the cube, soft resetted my device and gained 22 MB free program memory. Now the PocketGba runs Fire Emblem untill a battle starts and then it just freezes my device. Strange. This game only needs 16MB free program memory. I have been playing with video settings and such and it still freezes. Seems like the Artemis isn't really equipped to run this...
@shawndh:
I've read everywhere that PocketGba is the best GBA emulator out there. It can theoretically load 32MB cartridge files according to memory state. As i stated above, I only have around 16.9 MB free. So it really is a question of memory allocation. Which emulator are you using and does it allow you to play any GBA cartridge?
About TT6. Thanks for offering the cab. But i would like to know first if it is safe to delete the files i mentioned in my topic start post.
Anyway thanks everyone for the input. Keep it coming this way )
Registry editor is available on this ROM, its part of the TaskManager
Start->Program->Accessories->TaskManager
Go to Menu->Create RegEdit Shortcut.
Regedit is then available from the Drop Down arrow in top right hand corner.

Pocket Informant is excellent replacement for outlook although its not free, not tried the ones you mentioned. I believe most of the replacements use the same database to store the appt/task/etc and therefore all you appointments will automatically be available.
Thanks premkang. Unfortunately the Task Manager on the lite version is 2.0 instead of 2.8. The 2.0 version doesn't allow to enter the registry.
About PocketGba: I disabled the cube, performed a soft reset et voila 22MB of free program memory. I can now run Fire Emblem, but whenever a battle is about to take place the Artemis freezes. I'm guessing the Artemis isn't really equiped to run these kinds of games smoothly (even after altering video settings). If someone else has it working, let me know.
hey mate, don't know if any of this'll help, but...
with regard to your gaming problem have you seen the change pool size thread? allows you to change the memory pool size so that you can allocate more memory for larger applications (but a less memory for fast system operation) and vice versa. i gather, running vanilla, you want the quick system so it might not be of any help;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=323885&highlight=change+page+pool
also your tt6 query, i don't like it being installed on the device without the option to install on the storage card. i cut all files on the device that you mentioned and placed them in prog files on the storage (same as they would be in prog files on device). i then copied the tomtom navigator.exe (the one with the red hands 2.4mb) and in windows folder paste shortcut in;
1.AppButtons - to allow button config for tt, if required.
2.StartMenu/Programs - so that it shows up in the programs menu.
this frees up 2.5mb on the device. i dont know about which files can be deleted though. all i have on my storage card are;
main storage card;
Western_Europe...map - (file)
Voices (file)
Zip (postcodes ((file))
ttnavigator.bif (331b)
Program Files/Navigator within this are
contacts (file)
itn (file)
logging (file)
voices (file)
ttnavigator.bif (331b)
CurrentMap.dat (45b)
navigator.cfg (252b)
TomTomNavigator.exe (2.4mb)
DATA.CHK (2.6mb)
had it running for a while and all is fine. sorry if this is f*$king long winded, i'm a bit pissed and a novice, so i don't know if it's any help at all!!
good luck mate
also with regard to your query for xt9 saving ive started a thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1767135#post1767135, handy idea - like it
Tried to get TomTom Navigator 7 (from diamond) working on my Hermes but it fails to install and reports "the device is not supported".
Anyone had more luck or knows if a more generic version will be released soon?

I have no idea but to be honest i don't really think so. Hermes is no longer produced by HTC npw for quite some time so i doubt new versions of software will be supported by it...
Cheers.
I've read in other forums that hermes is not supported cos it doesnt have an integreated GPS, so if they can desactivate the part of the program that it checks if there's an internal gps it will work... i guess in sometime someone will make it.
Hi,
here is already a TomTom 7 thread.

The Tomtom7 that is being distributed has been ripped from the diamond. No maps are being distributed and there are a lot of people saying that Tom tom 6 maps don't work. If you can get the software working, you will still have to purchase the maps...
I've got TT7 working with the TT7 v710.1571 map since yesterday on my hermes. I've got a diffirent version then the diamond version because that one doesn't work. I don't know if I can post info about that because I think it is warez...
I tried to instal it on my hermes yesterday, no luck here. Phone saying that software cannot be instaled as is not signed, what is a bit strange as i have no problems with any other software.
Works fine on my TyTN with Western Europe map for TT6. I'm searching for the new Western Europe v7 map...
But to make it work, I didn't used the link which is in this thread but I downloaded it from an other thread. (No maps, no serial, only software)
It's working on my Hermes with map v710.1561.
UI is much better looking and there are a few new features like "where am I".
Help's you when you are lost with your navigator
Cheers,

I'm wondering if anyone has any version of TomTom Home to detect TT7 on the Hermes...
I'm interested in getting the mapshare features working...
Take your memory card out of your hermes and use a memory card reader, then TomTom Home will recognise it.
Tomtom 7 confirmed and working with New Zealand Map on Jasjam. Goodluck!

I've tried doing this, but I still get the "Connect your TomTom device" page...
Did you get it working with TT Home 2.3 or 1.5?
If with 2.3, are you able to advise me the directory layout and volume name of your SD Card? I'm guessing it's going to be something basic that is not working lol

TomTom 7 working
Got TomTom 7.450 (9028) working with Australia Map 720_1838 the latest 2008 Australia Map used the cab mentioned earlier in this thread thru Rapidshare.
I have not been able to hookup to TomTom home 2.3 yet
Got it working on CRC's stable 11 ROM on my Hermes 100.
I got my TTN 7.450 (9028) from TPB but the cab files appear to be identical to the ones posted in this thread... but it includes some other goodies that have been available for a long while.
Also apparently I have outdated maps though (damn you in2vnyl) as my maps were only v705_1485 but I am now upgrading to v1838 care of IPM.
IPM
IPM IP Mart Forum is really organized takes a bit of reading but the site has a lot of helpful information concerning TomTom GPS.
New TomTom setup with lastest TomTom application and 2008 Australia Map s really awesome. I don't think text to speech is featured for PPC Though
Has anyone heard anything about TomTom on the HD? After watching the french review and her saying it doesnt work, is that because the tomtom 7 on the diamond is locked to the diamond?
I suppose we will never know until someone gets there hand on one?
And I wonder if it is because of applications made for VGA device is having problem on the 800x480 screen.
That may be the issue, however so far I have never seen the Diamond having any problems showing QVGA apps either it just blows them up. But because the aspect ratio is no longer 4:3 this may be an issue --- I can not image that HTC lets this be an issue though since hardly any application is made to suit WVGA.
There are 2 editions of TomTom (QVGA and VGA) as far as I know. The samsung omnia has also a different aspect ratio and the QVGA version works perfect. So I think the VGA version will work also on the Touch HD without any problems.
I have a Toshiba G900 (WVGA Display, 800x480) and I can confirm that TomTom works without problems on non standard screen resolutions.
This has also been confirmed by people with xperia's. It works without a problem!
Would TomTom 6 work on the HD?TomTom6 has worked fine on my HTC Universal, and its resolution is also different to the diamond. Or are there other problems to get TomTom6 work on the HD, like the internal GPS?
TomTom 6 works without any problems.
tomtom for htc diamond
i have tested both the tomtom 6 and tomtom 7 working on on the HTC diamond. It works a treat. Copilot 7 live also works well but the software is a lot older and doesnt pickup postcodes as well as tomtom.
Any more opinions as to screen compatibilty with popular software, like SB Pocket Plus and all the main apps?
Thanks!
Could anybody upload a screenshot picture of TomTom working on a WVGA Display (800x480)?

what do you mean "locked to the diamond"? I used both TomTom 6 and 7 for months on my VX8600
TomTom 7.451 is ok (7.9 ko) but keyboard is very little...
Currently I'm running TomTom 7 on my Touch Pro with maps for version 6.75. Working perfectly. TT 7 was installed from a cab file available on this forum which was extracted from Diamond. Will this same version of TT7 will work on HD with same maps (version 6.75)? I ma not sure what is the extended version of this TomTom i.e., it is 7 but is it 7.45 or 7.9 .... don't know. Tried to find it but couldn't find any such detail. Cab file was taken from Diamond forum on this site.
I run TT 7.910.9185 with WCE map 725.1906 and agree that the street names are too small to read in traffic, behind the wheel. The onscreen keyboard however is just fine, there are two settings small and large.
I have TTN7 installed on my Touch HD, and have inserted the micro sd card from my Polaris that had TTN7 running with purchased v7 (go520) map from TomTom.
I have followed the start up process and when I get to the "select a map" screen, it shows the "Manchester" map I got as a freebie and the "UK & ROI" map I purchased & used on my Polaris. However, when I select either map, TTN7 just closes down. Any suggestions please.
The maps you purchased have been activated for your Polaris only, according to your device ID.
Sorry, but where I find the 7.910 Vga version that see my Htc HD in Tomtom Home?
Thankyou IceMatrix

Hi Guys,
I know the Touch and IGO8 have been done to death, as my head is still spinning.
However, a lot of what I have read is a number of months old, and when there werent 800x480 skins, old data files, etc.
So, a few basic questions, from what I have read.
I gather there are 'versions' of IGO8 available, as in PDA, PNA, etc.
Which type is best tor the Touch HD?
Also, there is talk of having the IGO8 directory, and the 2577 directory on the SD card, inserting it, and let it do it's thing. Is this the best way? or Manual.
I also gather, that later versions of IGO8 had a data.zip/branding.zip file that 'knew' about the Touch HD.
I am assuming, that when you install IGO8, it uses the basic SYS.TXT file, and then modifies, or uses separately, details of the device found in BRANDING.ZIP and DAT.ZIP
So, if so, how well does it pick up the Touch HD.
Also, a review I read on IGO8 said that when it was installing, it picked up most of the contacts exactly, and he only had to modify a few. So, the basic program recodnised it was on a phone, or there is a phone edition of IGO8.
So, this would indicate that when I go to SEARCH, I should get the option to navigate to a contact.
So, to my problem
I ahve installed IGO8.3.4.102680 using the auto install method. It never found or uses contacts.
I have a couple of skins in the skin directory (Dimka_1.1.25.2_(a)_-_TomSoft_HD_(800x480_a_480x800)_+_(240x400_a_400x240) & diMkaspecter1.1.25_HD.zip), both have 800x480 and 480x800 directories, but only TomSoft ever shows in the list of skins available to change to.
So, now that branding and data are supposed to have Touch HD support, and IGO8 should use phone contacts, and I should be able to change skins, and we shouldnt have to do so much modification to SYS.TXT for installation,
What is the latest best version to use, should it be PNA or PDA, should it be auto or manual uinstall, and whats the best procedure??
Thanks for hanging in there, if you have made it this far !!!
