@retailguy

Glad to hear you got it going. Believe me, you're not missing anything not using TTS. Susan drove me crazy - she loves to talk. Now, I use a non-TTS voice and I like it better. Also, I don't think I said not to use that other program download. I just said that I don't recommend it because we can't give proper support to something that we know nothing about.

Anyway, good job!

Thanks, I appreciate it. Did some experimenting with the Dave TTS voice. Very long delay, at least 4 seconds, can be as long as 15 seconds. Once, I even turned the corner before he told me to turn the corner. It must be a memory problem. I don't know what else it could be. Anyhow, I'm still fine with the non TTS voice. Who cares if she says "turn right at the next corner" or, "turn right on 4th st"?

Should I play with Garmin XT next? Or am I just asking for trouble? I found your program, but am clueless which maps I need to use. Is there something that tells me? If so, I can't find it.

TTS uses a lot of processing power just before it speaks, It could also be a lack of CPU power, The long delay before it actually speaks does suggest this.

You can try. What the heck. It won't hurt anything. Actually, this is the thread you need to see. http://www.navitotal.com/showthread.php?9284-How-to-create-a-SW.UNL-for-WinCE5-XT As for the maps, you want .img unlocked.

My SD card for Garmin:

FBF, I was finally able to play with your program yesterday, but it didn't work. I did get the GPS information in a file on the SD card, but was unable to click off the message. I probably clicked 100 times before I shut the unit down. I guess, as a result, it didn't do the second part of the scan.

Any ideas? I would push the X and the unit would chime but it would never cancel the text box.

Yes, his utility from post #14. But a question for you as well. Working on Garmin XT. Have it all downloaded and extracted to my SD card.

Instruction #3 says - 3. Choose "connect to a Garmin device."

At the risk of being dense, there is no program to run from the SD card so I'm assuming that I run Garmin.exe from the head unit in the car, correct?

When you run the XT program [from your device] you need to go via the instructions to get the card number to create the SW.UNL.

That would be great. I'd like to know how much memory I'm dealing with here. I suspect it isn't a lot.

Open the {WinCE Device Information}.mscr file with Notepad, Erase everything and replace it with the following code...

Code: Select all

#Release Version 1.0

#ErrorLevel ("Off")
StatusType (ST_MESSAGE, TRUE, FALSE)

StatusMessageAppend ("Analyzing device, Please wait...")
Sleep (1000)
StatusMessageAppend ("HARDWARE INFORMATION.^NL^Screen resolution "&ScreenWidth()&"x"&ScreenHeight()&"^NL^Windows CE "&SystemVersion("Major")&"^NL^Free / Total RAM available "&FreeMemory()&" KB / "&TotalMemory()&"KB^NL^^NL^")

If (Size >= 134217728)
Drive = Directory&" ("&Free/1024/1024&"MB/"&Size/1024/1024&"MB)"
StatusMessageAppend (Drive&"^NL^")
Sleep (100)
WriteFile (SystemPath("ScriptPath")&"\"&SystemPath("ScriptName")&".txt", Drive&"^NL^", TRUE)
EndIf
EndIf
EndForEach
WriteFile (SystemPath("ScriptPath")&"\"&SystemPath("ScriptName")&".txt", "^NL^^NL^Visit www.navitotal.com for all your GPS needs!", TRUE)
Sleep (20000)
StatusClear()
StatusMessageAppend ("WinCE Device Information has now finished testing your device, and all the information has been written into a text file located at...^NL^^NL^"&SystemPath("ScriptPath")&"\"&SystemPath("ScriptName")&".txt^NL^^NL^Visit www.navitotal.com for all your GPS needs!")
[/SIZE]


Same as before but with no GPS detection, You should get the rest though.
