OVI Maps data are quite outdated. Garmin is using maps that are a lot more updated. smile.gif

thanks bro for the garminxt.. but i'm still facing the issue of starting garmin first page then it'll exit .. i've tried master reset and even do the hard format and start from scratch. I've googled and found that a few other ppl on the n97/mini also facing this prob.. any comments ?

my s/w version v12.0.110

has that something to do with the s/w version ? wat's the latest ?

Did u rerun the installer again ? Garmin installer?

yes i copy the whole folder to the mass storage d:\garmin and run the .sis from within the folder. installed ok. however when loading garminxt.. it'll just load first page and jump back out.

Why copy? i thought u copy the entire garmin folder into the phone and run installer?

haha.. the first attempt copying direct fr bro heng's folder failed. not sure why but kept on booting out from the garminxt. later our sifu provided me another folder from a fresh garmin folder and that worked. even reg my sw.unl .. so now it's ok .. just need to update the map then i'm set .. i guess i just copy fr the first folder the map file shud b ok..
