If you are lost in the town how?? what should you do?? here’s what I will do.. on my Garmin Mobile XT.. i would like to share about how did i installed my Garmin to my phone..
Sorry i don’t have a picture that only have my phone.. by the way i’m actually using Nokia N85.. the nearest to you is mine.. :)
first of all you should go get a phone that is Garmin compatible.. such as mine.. i tried it on N96 and even E71.. no problem.. why don’t you try and tell me how’s it?? :)
Here’s how you install Garmin to your phone..
1. download all of the below:
Remember to download all of it.. if any of the link are not working please let me know.. thanks.. :)
2. Connect your N85 (via memory storage) or memory disk to your computer and make sure it’s detected by your computer.
3. Now, run the recently downloaded files on the computer, one after another, in this order:
- v4.xx.xxx Support File,
- v4.xx.xxx Basemap File
- GMXT v5.00.10
When prompted to choose storage space, always choose the phone’s memory.
4. Disconnect phone memory from computer. It’s time to configure Garmin on your phone. Go to your phone’s File Manager >Garmin >Applications >Symbian >RES >GarminMobileXT.sis and install the .sis
If you can’t find GarminMobileXT.sis, check the root directory, it should be there. Install the .sis as per normal.
5. After that, go to Applications> run Garmin Mobile XT. It won’t connect to GPS satelite yet, so just ignore it.
6. You should have received your device unlock code from the manufacturer of Garmin, however if you haven’t don’t worry you are just like me.. :P, there are instructions on the Internet to guide you on how to get yours ;)
7. Copy the device unlock code and paste it in a notepad, then save the file as SW.UNL
8. Reconnect your phone/memory to your computer.
9. Copy the SW.UNL file into \Garmin\
10. Then, run GM-MySInMXT.exe, and copy gmapsupp.img into \Garmin\
11. Disconnect your phone from your computer.
12. Go to Applications >Garmin Mobile XT >Settings >System >Remote GPS >Select ‘Use Attached/Built-in GPS’ >Enable and it’s all done.
13. Wait for satellite signal to strengthen and then you can start navigating around various places with confidence!
If you got any problem which mean that you actually still cannot get the signal.. please try this..
go back to your garmin folder. Check out your SW.UNL file. It probably has an additional .txt at the end of it, delete that part and save it as SW.UNL. Then go back to the application and you’ll see the Route option appear.
