This is driving me CRAZY

I've got the latest PGPSW speed camera files loaded (UK Speed Zoned) and
I've got Liz Whittacker's voice as the warning, ie, "Warning! GATSO ahead -
speed limit xx mph" and that all works brilliantly.

However, even when there are no speed cameras around (so no warning needed
at all), the darn thing gives out three "bongs" at 40mph, 50mph, 60mph and
80mph.

I've never set it to warn me about anything, and I've certainly never asked
it to bong at me. How can I stop it - but still keep voice warnings for
speed cams and voice directions???

Sorry, should have said - TomTom GO700 App. V7.903,
Western_and_Central_Europe map V720.1803, GPS V1.21, Boot 5.4201

TIA

Sounds more like a menu setting than the Speed Camera POIs. Try disabling
the Speed Camera POIs temporarily & see if the Bongs persist. If they do,
check out the safety menu settings on yout TomTom.

What about exceeding the speed limit warnings

Thanks for your efforts guys. I've been away for a few days so didn't have
access into here but I can say that someone on the pocketgpsworld forum came
up with the right answer. It seems that some versions of the TomTom app have
speed limit warnings - as pointed out here by roberthorsey :o)

TomTom knows that a certain road should be, for example, 30mph and will
sound the bongs at about 35mph. To disable it, go into "Change Preferences"
> "Safety Preferences" and de-select "Warn when driving faster than
allowed".
