GO 620 WiFi-can you change the alert sounds to something different than the default

JohnNH

I would like to change sounds for different situations, such as for the +5 speed or nearing a school zone.

On the NAV5 (Wi-Fi) devices like your GO 620 Sorry No....

For general improvement using the Tomtom Speed Cam Database over the default settings

Always use a Computer voice...
From the main screen... Tap (.... Menu) -> Setting -> Sounds & Warnings...
Set... 'Warning Type' to... Read Allowed... (Important... Needs a Computer Voice set in the Voices menu)
Speed Cameras & Hazards... Set to ON
The next 10 Setting ALL set to Always
The next 4 Settings ALL set to ON
The device will now say....
'Fixed Camera'
'Mobile Hot Spot'
'Average Speed Camera Zone'
'Red-light Camera'
'Accident Black-spots
‘Spoken Traffic delays’

Speed Cams
If you keep a check on the Traffic-bar... The device gives you a visual Warning of the next Fixed or Mobile Speed Camera many miles before you reach the camera
Even more info if in the 'Setting menus' you setup a Wide Traffic/Route Bar

Hi @UAP

I find that using the Computer Voice as suggested by @yamfazman in the Post before yours is by far the clearest way of being informed as you are verbally told of the cameras and what type of cameras it is you are approaching. Also navigation instructions you get are generally are more detailed..

Its a pity that the Speed Camera Alert Sound has no option to change type of repeater dings on the GO 620. Your ears become accustomed to the alert sounds so it becomes easy to miss the alert after time. On my previous Tom Tom (Via) had the option to change type and number which I used to change regularly. Bring it back!
