OK only read this moment ago. To combine other country maps (For eg the Bali maps since i know U'r going there soon ), U need mapsource another software from Garmin....

Let say u hv malfreemaps & you have also installed the .exe file for Bali available in malsing. Use the mapsource & combine both malfree & the bali maps & send the combined maps (Also gmapsupp.img) to N78. The instruction is in the malsing wiki if I'm not mistaken. However this method will resulted in adress search failure

Alternatively u can create 2 seperate gmapsupp.img i.e the 1st maintained it under gmapsupp.img & the 2nd gmapsup2.img using patchimg program. thereafter copy both files to your garmin folder

To be used mostly in Malaysia when I go to KL (not familiar with the streets). Ok thanks for the links.

From the website I think Garmin Mobile® 10 for smartphones is the solution for me. Ok I'll go to Lowyat to search for it. Thanks again.

I just managed to load the Garmin XT ver. 5.00.20 into my Tube but I could not get it started....

I am stuck at teh part where it is "searching for a GPS device".....under the GPS information page.

Is there some settings in my phone not done or have I missed out anything ? Please help any sifu out there

You need to go to Tools, Settings, System, Remote GPS and select Use Attached/Built-in GPS.

Thanks...

But when I followed that instruction....after I pressed remote GPS.....my screen went back to the GPS information page (blue in color).

If you have done it the right way, there is an option for you to choose an External GPS device or Built-in GPS device.
The default is External GPS device.

How do I get it right......

Please...

This is very frustrating...would restore default help ?

What I mean is the authorised way to install Garmin onto your phone.

should I re install the software ?

You can try. Not sure it will work.

In the first place, Have u buy the license or not. The license key is actually the Micro SD card comes wth Garmin MXT & probably Garmin's Malaysia maps...that Sharkteef mentioned earlier. .

The symptom u describe is very common for those trying to install without license.

No discussion on #ahem..here..

anyone tried "Location Messages"...
only recently i discover it usefulness, great stuff!!!

I notice when i ask around many shop alot of them are selling illegal garmin. You ask them how much they said RM 70 - RM100. When i ask original they do not have then he start explain nonsense to me he said the only garmin in the market now is the US version that cost about USD 500 +++ and only have US MAP

Well u are probably correct.. I never try & ask the original Garmin actually only from those members word of mouth & also from sharkteef comment above.. ..Horrible seller asking >RM70 for such #ahem# service

It is Garmin support to N5800MX ?

Garmin MXT is using either Symbiam or Window mobile platforms If yours is Symbian, should not worry.

NOT FULLY COMPATIBLE YET. Garmin doesnt work on touchscreen interface 100% need wait for the next patch
but there is a way around but its not 100% working. Can navigate

Yes, tried it before. I think:
1) Both sides must be using GMXT.
2) Preferably both also similiar h/p device ? As it is sending SMS.
3) Both sides GMXT must turn on ?

1) Garmin that support location msg
2) Mine send from different device, but must support SMS
3) no need to turn on, once your get the msg, symbian will ask you to launch Garmin
note: this might not work if your contact didnt store your info in his/her phone memory... i tested on sim (sometime not working)

~waste 5 $$$ just for the testing
