I would like to know where is the folder for "My location"..

I want to backup the data so that in case anything happen I still have those with me..

You can find it under Garmin\GPX\Current.gpx. You can either copy and paste this file to your PC or use Garmin Mapsource to transfer the POI and save it.

Used to sent my tracklogs to both MSM/MFM ... but now more towards MFM as they have the weekly update rate. If sent to MSM only 3 to 6 months later I can see my tracks on the map. By that time already forgot where I tracked before  vmad.gif

If continue like this MSM is gonna be dead laa ...! stimix, you should ask whomever at the throne of MSM to compile faster laa. Don't care if the one compiled by Garmin is once or twice a year. I no need junction view  - can always make turn at last minute. Typical malaysian drivers maa  laugh.gif

I think due to less number of mapper make map drawing will take longer time... Only now the appointed a lot of new mapper... Perhaps after this MSM map will be available twice a month... hmm.gif

Yes, you can browse through the map but it can't show your current position and you can't do navigating with it.

if i were to order a garmin from amazon, can it be used here in malaysia?

I think there is no problem to do that. But if you buy it locally perhaps you also can get free support support service together (eg. to install software and map) hmm.gif

Dealer installed for me. Never seen any card or box. So how to check?

Which dealer, phone dealer or Garmin dealer? If phone dealer and they charge you around RM50, most probably that was illegal software they installed it for you.

How much the original software? And if they already installed the software and it is working, is there a way to buy a legal code to insert without having to go thro' all those uninstallaiton and reinstallation?

I am assuming, with legal software, I can go to Garmin website to download free maps?
*
You can check out with authorized Garmin dealer for latest software for GMXT or you can dig out previous post in this thread. For key-in the registration code I think you need to un-install the the software and install it back but may other ppl have better solution.

To use Garmin map you need to buy it even you have the legal software because it been sold separately. That why most of the GPS user go to MFM and MSM for free map in Malaysia.

I went into Garmin Tools and under Map Sets, it says East Malaysia Ver. 2.30; East Malaysia Ver. 2.30; West Malaysia Ver. 2.30 (unlocked). 40.3MB

Also in another folder, it says Worldwide Roads Basemap 10.5MB

What does it means?
*
That version was really old version of map. You can copy the new map by downloading the latest map from MSM or MFM. Copy and paste gmapsupp.img file to Garmin folder inside the memory card. You will re-write the old map file.

Got a few questions.

1. How do you back up and save your Landmark or POI onto your PC for save keeping?
2. Can you transfer Landmark or POI saved in Nokia Maps to Garmin and vice versa?
3. Let's say I have China and Japan and Malaysia maps in Nokia Maps. Can I delete off just the China maps and leaving the other two intact?
*
1. For what software (Nokia Maps or Garmin)?
2. Never try it but I believe it can be done
3. I just leave Malaysia map inside my Nokia Maps and so far no problem running the software. But I never use it for navigation

hi friends,

i'm using nokia 5800, got GarminMobileXT installed. Garmin is running fine.
my doubt is when started Garmin 'always ask to enable Bluetooth'.
what i always do is i just enable it, & when finish serching i just cancel to connect, then only i can use/navigate gps (Garmin)

1) Is it possible to avoid the Enable Bluetooth Menu?
2) Is GarminMobile really need our bluetooth ON to activate our Build in GPS?

thanks guys...

If you are using original software then you can checkout under Tools>Settings>General>Positioning>Positioning Methods

Untick the Bluetooth GPS option

Excuse me guys, do any of you know if a GPS bought in the US would come loaded with maps for Malaysia or perhaps would allow for the installation of Malaysian maps on the device?

You can go for Garmin device to do that...

It safe to on our phone and use gps device in moving plane? Not scare it will interrupt plane electronic device or other?

Can i use my 5800 as GPS bluetooth device and connect with my laptop? If can, i can get larger view from my lappie than 5800 biggrin.gif Any idea?
*
I think that cannot be done since most of GPS Phone are meant to be use on the phone only. If you really want to do that get yourself a bluetooth GPS like Mobile 10x. Last time I use it on my lappy using Garmin Mobile PC and nRoute.

how to update map in garmin mobile xt??
*
1. Download new map either form MFM or MSM, if you don't have Mapsource just download the GMAPSUPP.img file. It normally zip.
2. Using Explorer open folder named Garmin in your memory card (from PC)
3. Replace the old GMAPSUPP.img file in that folder with the new GMAPSUPP.img file you just downloaded.

Officially Mobile XT on support certain OS like symbian, WM etc... But I have seen myself ICE (china made) installed with mobile XT. Better ask from the seller before buying it or buy unit that already have that software... Don't shy to ask the seller before buying it because you pay for it...

You can help updating the map and you are very welcome to do that.

Just visit site like Malsingmaps and Malfreemap. And start sending POI there. You can refer to that site on how to contribute.

Since this topic stays under Symbian threads, I think no harm for our friends to say that. But if it been posted in other thread then it will be not appropriate. tongue.gif

Symbian was more to conventional people... Who follow everything...

Android was more to rebellious people... Who make thing their own way...
