Destination announcement

**kwbs** · 26th September 2021, 09:03 AM

Pity that you did not address the relevance of the question: "If you remove the reached_your_destination zip file - Do you still get any message when you are 70 to 100 meters from the destination?".

The answer should have given some indication of understanding, how & where to move forward and be more accurate to the next step BUT, good for you that you used the Children_Left_Alert test as a properly hint.

I hope you close the ZIP's with the correct RAR version.

As Golom has already written:

The announcement "You have reached your destination in 70 meters" comes from the app itself. The announcement has nothing to do with the "reached_your_destination.zip".

I don't use this function and the warning happens anyway, at a certain distance, but that's fine with me, the destination hardly has a parking lot or there is one on the other side of the road, it must also be said that the house numbers on the maps almost never correspond to the exact real position.

But, as often happens with iGO, We can get results in different ways, He can use the ploy of using the file "reached_your_destination.zip", set the warning distance to the minimum (10 meters) and change the "child presence" alert in the voice file to "You are 10 meters from the destination".

@kwbs, after removing the reached_your_destination zip file, I am still getting the “You have reached your destination” message when I am 70 or 200 meters (street or highway) far away from the destination.

As I described in [Only registered and activated users can see links. ], this announcement:

• is related to (and registered in) voice zip file which is located in iGO_Luna\content\voice folder (in iGO Nextgen Luna with skin by Pongo).
So inside this voice zip file and especially in inconfig_database.lua file, the below line:
L"YOU_HAVE_REACHED_YOUR_DESTINATION-E ",
initiates the “You have reached your destination” message.

• is road (street or highway) dependent as I can understand from the rangefun section which is registered in config_condfun.lua file (in the same folder and voice zip file as inconfig_database.lua file). It might be also distance (from the destination) and speed dependent but I am not quite sure about these.

I open and explore zips with Windows Explorer (Not any other zip-unzip app like WinZip, WinRAR, 7-zip, etc.). I read it [Only registered and activated users can see links. ].
I edit the files with Notepad++.
Is it OK? Any better proposal?

In my case, the number correspondence is not the main problem. This is rare. My problem is that usually (depending on the area or neighbor you visit) it is hard to see or find house numbers. If the warning happens 70 meters (might be more or less) far away and you have also to find a parking lot, regardless of the road side and distance, this is getting worse.

That’s why I changed the "child presence" alert in the voice file to “You have reached your destination” knowing that 10 meters distance is almost the next door or sometimes in front of your destination building footprint.

That is odd. This below line in inconfig_database.lua file, in iGO_Pal\content\voice, does not exist in my PAL with PONGO.

As long as you open and close ZIPs and the APP does not crash, you are doing the right thing.

So in which file your Destination announcement is registered? Or there is not such a distance dependent announcement in your case?

@NikonM

My conclusion about changing the minimum distance from the destination in reached_your_destination.ui

FROM:

Created/caused messages disruptions.

Needless to mess with it!

Although "YouHaveReachedYourDestination" Voice Finished announcement is registered in reached_your_destination.lua (in reached_your_destination zip file), there is not such a distance dependent announcement in my PAL/PONGO.

In LUNA with Default Skin, the announcements are accurate with full voices segments along the navigation route and with a clear voice announcement of "You have reached your destination", at the end.

And out of curiosity, after the change you've made with your "child presence" alert, what does your visual announcement looks like?

Spoiler: CHILDREN LEFT ALERT

And without the "reached_your_destination-zip" does your voice say nothing?
Are you driving past your destination without an announcement?
I can't believe .....

The questions were addressed to "kwbs"
You did not answer the second question .....

**kwbs** · 27th September 2021, 09:15 PM

@Golom

So it is with @NikonM:

Without the zip file IGO keeps saying “You arrive at your destination after 300 meters…You arrive at your destination after 250 meters… ...150 meters.”

For me, without the ZIP:
Every time, before turning right/left or, crossing an intersection or, entering a roundabout and exiting it - Only one announcement will be heard at a time, plus the range of XYZ meters.

Now, about your comment that "I can not believe..."

The truth is, I did not bother to dwell on it because either I got used to it or, I used LUNA and WAZE much more and did not need to deal with it specifically.

My Voice_Hb-m1-lua zip file, does not contain these patterns (as they appear for example in Voice_Eng-uk-f3-lua):
L "YOU_ARRIVE_AT_YOUR_DESTINATION% dist2"
L "YOU_HAVE_REACHED_YOUR_DESTINATION-E"

In addition, I was unable to locate Hebrew audio files of:
you_have_reached_your_destination-e
you_arrive_at_your_destination

UPDATE:

As he said:

so it happened...

Look at the image.

Spoiler: kobi v200897

When I selected the voice file kobi v1.1 - All of the above-above, happened.

When I changed the selection of the voice file to kobi v200897 - Everything that did not exist above, happened.

Now, there is a voice announcement of "you_arrive_at_your_destination".

What's weird is that kobi v200897 file does not appear in Pal's voice folder but, it's the least important right now.

@kwbs,
I tried the same couple of days ago in my iGO nextgen Luna with skin by Pongo. If I change in reached_your_destination.ui file (which is in reached_your_destination.zip) the min selectable distance to 0 meters and I choose 0 meters, then there is no audible announcement. The app doesn’t accept this. This is not allowed or more parameters have to be changed. I have to chose at least 10 meters in order to hear the reached to destination announcement. And this is normal. As I wrote 10 meters distance is in front of your destination building footprint or almost next door. I did a few navigation tests with the 10 meters as Reached to your destination distance setting and I was always in front of my Destination while driving.

I also changed the visible message 😉

@Golom as kwbs wrote without the reached_your_destination.zip file you have all the “before destination” announcements like:
L "YOU_ARRIVE_AT_YOUR_DESTINATION% dist2"
L "YOU_HAVE_REACHED_YOUR_DESTINATION-E" (70 or 200 meters prior Destination arrival).

I think that you have also to change the language in order to hear your native voice announcement. Did you change it?
