TomTom have made us aware of a new way to use custom POI warnings in TomTom 6 versions. This will remove the need for manipulating the data.chk file, and is much more flexible.
Here's what you need to do:
For each of your OV2 files, create a warning sound in OGG format with exactly the same name. So if you have a BP.ov2 file, create a BP.ogg fileand place it in the same map folder. (We recommend 22050 Hz sampling rate but it should not matter)
When you restart TomTom, the new sound will automatically be used. Cool, ah? (you may have to re-set the warning distance for each POI category you changed)
A good source for ogg files is http://tomtomsatnav.info/realvoice.html . But you can of course also use your own creations.
