Just wanted to say thank you for the very thorough, and easy to follow guide. Very much appreciated ! I wanted to ask though : is there a period of validity for that activation key for Garmin, ie: will it expire at some point ?

Thanks again !:)

Hi, to update maps just copy and paste the gmapsupp.img (2009) to where you have it saved on your phone/memory card, thats all. There's no expiry on the activation key, and besides you don't need to buy the cd, just get that file from a friends in car garmin which has the latest 2009 maps.

It works on all Nokia symbian phones that have internal gps or not, eg. 6110, 6210, the N-Series and E-Series, tried it out and works on 5800, E71, E75, 6110, N78

You will need jetmouse 1.5 keygen first ...here below

Hmm, RapidShare won't give me access to this file :confused:

Have been running Garmin for a while on my Windows Mobile phone with no problems but I can't seem to update the maps. I have the GarMap 2009 CD. Do I have to have the newer KeyGen 1.5? Can't seem to download it.

This is quite a common file, try googling it. Rapidshare doesn't always work on a Telkom line - Axxess is better if you have a voucher.

Been using it on my 6110 for ages now. Never quite liked it as much as the default route66 software though.

Just upgraded to Nokia 5800 which comes with Nokia maps and supposedly a 6 month navigation license.

Just finished installing Garmin on it, by following all these instructions again. Worked perfectly the first time.

Something to note though and I remember this from my 6110 is that the first time you run it, it says 'no map' until the first signal lock, and then shows where you are. I think its because it has no idea of your location, so doesn't know which map to load.

Anyone have the latest 2009 maps?

I have just read this whole thread, and if I'm right, I can buy the dvd, unlock the maps using the keygen given, and use that maps on my existing garmin nuvi 200, my pc, and if I get a phone with gps? I'm not used to this maps on a pc, but if I have the maps, do I need some program to run it on my pc? Thanks a mil.

u will be able to use it also on your phone. the dvd u get comes with the necessary programs. u will need to browse the dvd to find them, cant use the autorun afaik.

If you know anyone who has the latest 2009 maps on the Garmin for cars you can grab the file gmapsupp.img and copy and paste to your mobile phone, no need for keygen. Just overwrite the file.

Hi can any one tell me if this would work on my sony ericsson w715?? pm me please

hi guys
i have had a quick read through this excellent forum and i updated my N95 from version 420... to the 520 version...still works great with no issues.
BUT on the wifes crap 6210 navigator, it has issues...and the biggest one is that when you launch the Garmin software from the phone, the phone reboots. Sometimes when you access the menus such as contacts or messages, it again reboots. The only successfull way of lauching the app is to re-insert the mem card and "reinstall" the app and it then launches.

Have anyone successfully done the 6210 nav phones.
I presume her software is "old" considering its only 1 year old.

[please advise if someone had issues and fixed them on the 6210.

thanks for the great write up.

cheer

guys i followed all the steps and its installed on my 5800 but it doesnt show the maps.....what did i do wrong?

So i got a copy of the 2009 Maps yesterday all 1.8GB of them Roads Topography and everything else but i cant seem to get it transferred to my N97

I have installed the Map Source file but need to unlock it for the maps but it doesnt seem to work with 1214 or 1218 Map ID's and Key Gen 1.5

Any Ideas as i need a 25Key Unlocking code to even view the Maps in Mapsource on my PC before being able to transfer them.

Currently running with the 2008 Maps on my GArminXT on the N97

Ignore that i was being an @R$E ... Maps Unlocked now to get it on my Mobile

Will it work on my Nokia 5220 expressmusic?
Installed the Symbian file but can't find GMobileXT, normally you will find it under My Own or Applications?
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Does anyone know if there is a more recent version of the Garmin POI's posted on the first page available?

I get this too (on a 6210 Nav). It seems to be telling us that there is a speed limit and I also see the signs. Is it meant to show cameras or just speeding hotspots?

I managed to install Garmin Mobile XT for Symbian S60 3rd Edition Ver. 5.00.50 onto my Nokia 5800XM without any problems. Now to get a copy of the 2009 Maps.

Working beautifully. Except in landscape mode.

Has anyone managed to load Garmin Mobile XT onto the N97?

Works perfectly with a touch screen. Landscape mode has a little issue but portrait is perfect.

Finally managed to get it right. Went to bed at 01h00 this morning but had to retire without success. With a few minor adjustments to the steps that ABU provided I managed to pull it through.

1.Immediately after installing the application I first installed the unlock code.
2. I then ran the software. With v5.00.50 installed it eliminates the step where it immediately takes you to the activation page. The application instead then allows you to choose the internal GPS after it searched for an external one.

Works brilliantly, you were right. And what amazes me is the speed with which it picks up satelites. I even managed to pick up satelites in the house, which is impossible on my E71.

Hi, I installed it on my 5800 XM using step by step instructions. Works Perfectly. THANX!!!

Is this hardware or software?

Hi Guy's

I have just upgraded to a Samsung Jet (S8003S). I know it comes with a voucher to get "Garmap for mobile" but this a web based online app and not resident on the phone. So the app stops when you are out of reach of a cell tower!! Plus it costs +/- 15 bucks a month to run it in data charges.

I would like to know if the GarminXT can be loaded on to the phone.

I can't find out what OS it is running only that the overlay is TouchWiz.

Can someone help please.

Hi guys,

Ok I did install this on my Sony X1 (WM O/S)

The other day I drove with 1 of my friends who actually bought the Garmin for his phone. His Garmin actually warned him about cops about 1km ahead and they were doing a roadblock. There's no way this is on the Garmin Database. Mine didn't even know about it. Is this just a setting or what?

Reason I'm asking is because I got a new car and I would like to get notified of speed cops before I actually get pulled over :-) Else I'll have to invest in a Laser Detector and they are a bit expensive.

Thanks

have u installed the latest POI's?

Yes...

But this can't be a POI coz I'm in Fochville and no one around here actually has a GPS, hahhha.... They are only there maybe once every 2 months... I did read up on this and they say the new GPS unit will detect most locations of Police. Can this be true?

i dont see how that would work. where did you get your poi's from? if u got it from this forum its long out of date.

I downloaded it from the Garmin website :-D

I do get just about every speed cam there is but not where the police will chop and change their positions...

The TomToms have a live system for traffic problems so maybe it's similar to that.

Yes but is it supported in SA??

Looks like I'll need to read up a bit more or just sell my kidney and buy a Detector :-D

Hi guys,
OK, the POI will ONLY give you areas or places were police activity is NORMALLY found, the GPS cannot give you a warning if police activity is present, so its just luck.............same as speeding cameras, only permanent cameras are shown........so you get warned if they are operational or not. Its just a warning to be careful:cool:

Cool thanks Magicman :-)

So looks like I'll have to rob someone to get money for that detector :-D

anyone here has OVI Nokia maps for download? I like the Garmin, but would like to give the OVI maps vers 3 a go...I got the trialware (i think), but these guys are mad with their prices...I can get "unsigned" software, but what a hassle with a Nokia E52 :(

Ovi map 3 www.dotsis.com

Ovi map 3 www.dotsis.com
thx altaaf...will go check it out. Garmin is fantastic, but with the E52? def a no-go :(
Btw, i think you're more clued up than me, so i would like to ask a question...Is it normal for GPS systems to take so long before a connection is made? I'm talking about 5 min here. Best thing of all is, my Garmin usualy kicks in AFTER i have first connected with OVI maps...Do you think this is just a coincidence?

Had a look there...unfortunatly all are "un-signed" maps...
thx for trying to help though :)

Hi People,
sorry if this has been asked before in the thread.
I got my 5800 on Friday and have installed Garmin XT as per the first post in the thread, when i go to view map i get no maps, just a message stating no map... but when i search for addresses and put an adress in voice navigation to that address works but still can't see a map....
any idea what i might have done wrong during installation?

also where would be the best place to get a car charger and windscreen/dashboard mount for the 5800?

Hi People,
sorry if this has been asked before in the thread.
I got my 5800 on Friday and have installed Garmin XT as per the first post in the thread, when i go to view map i get no maps, just a message stating no map... but when i search for addresses and put an adress in voice navigation to that address works but still can't see a map....

Did you read the first page? All the maps (South Africa) is there...

i followed the instructions on the first page, generated the key, saved the key in gmapsupp.unl on the phone. When i browse maps and addresses i can view the maps but when trying to navigate i just get the cursor on a blank screen with a no map message in bottom right corner....
funnily enough when a address is selected to navigate to i get all the voice prompts but still nothing only the cursor on a blank map

you might have to zoom in
yes i know it sounds silly, but the map will only appear once the scale is down to 2km or less

no worries, i had the same problem when i loaded it onto my N79

Thanks!

When i bought the Samsung G810, i first did research on it, and it said it had gps etc, which i thought was awesome.

But when i got the phone, No gps software installed, which apparently is how these phones come.

So the phone has a gps receiver, but no gps software, so i downloaded Garmin Mobile XT,

and installed it last night, i followed the steps perfectly, but when it starts up, when it searches for gps devices, it says it can't find any...

any ideas?

did you use the garmin for Symbian S60 2nd Edition or the ones posted in this forum?

I used the one that was originaly released for the N95, which is Symbian S60 3rd Edition i believe...

you sure the phone has a gps receiver?

A.F.A.I.K, Garmin Mobile XT will not work as is. You will have to download the version modified for the Samsung which you can find here: http://www.samsungblog.co.za/downloads/samsung-g810-navigation-software-trial-version

Does anybody know were I can download a afrikaans voice (or others) for free that will work with Mobile XT V5.00.00?

I did a search but could only find ones that you have to pay for.

What size are the voice files?

once you open garmin and you at the main screen, look at the top left. it shows your network signal, touch on the symbol next to that, check that it is on "Use Attached/ Built-in GPS" then enable it. if it is on this or if u dont have that option i would try a different version

I have version 5.00.50s60.9 installed will look at what other Nokia 5800 users have installed.

2.) For nokia 5800 xpress music the speed camera warning sounds.. where do you go to set it up?

Thanks..

Can I install Garmin XT Mobile on my Nokia 6700 classic?

Thanks!

Thanks to the original poster of this thread ABU, it's brilliant.

I have it working on my N97, although i cant seem to search anything further than about 500kms.
I'm taking a road trip CTn - Dbz - Jozi - SunCity, and i cant seem to see or find anything further than about PE *lol*
Although the map is a "South Africa" map and I have checked settings to see if there is anything related to search distance limitations etc
any advice ?

Thanks

After you click the "where to" look at the bottom. you Back, then near, then arrows. click on near, then at the bottom right click near other, then spell city and type a city/ town near your destination

eish ! :o
Thanks Flippy ! :-)

I had GarminXT installed and working perfectly on my Nokia 5800. Now when I start GarminXT asks for a Product Key. Do I need to uninstall and reinstall GarminXT from scratch or does anyone have a product key I could use?

I have installed garmin on my N97 and 6110 and it works brilliantly - here's a great tip - if your phone takes too long to get a GPS lock change the location server from supl.nokia.com to supl.google.com. my gps now gets a lock in about 5-10 secs when it used to take a couple of minutes sometimes. it only uses a couple of kb's using a-gps.

please note that it doesn't work with the built in nokia navigation (it crashes) - i don't use it anyway and if you do just change the location server back to supl.nokia.com

The moderators should have removed this piracy supporting thread right at the beginning.
