Hi all, I need some help here
Just got my PDA not so long and has a built-in SiRF III GPS
previous owner of phone already installed Garmin XT into my storage card.. after reading thru a little here, i decided to download the map from malsingmaps and unrar into 2 files, one of which i copied into the main folder of garmin under my storage card. the file is gmapsupp.img for Malaysia/Sabah
But when i opened up my GPS i still have a blank screen.. have i missed something here?
Firstly, we'll need to check whether the map is in GMXT or not.
In GMXT's main screen, click on the "Spanner" icon and then click on "Browse Map", zoom out if necessary.

hi, staring the blank screen while there is a message saying getting better signal reception or something like that..
I need to wait for a while before able to see the maps up?
If you can see the Sabah map as above, that means you have not lock on with the satellite yet.
To speed up the satellite fix, in GMXT main screen tap on the signal bars on the top left hand corner, then tap "GPS info" and tap "New Location".
Browse through the map and estimate the position that you are standing at the moment, then zoom in to the max.
Tap on your location and click "OK", then wait for the signal bars to turn green.
Hope this help.
