Hi all, GPS is a very important gadget when you are driving or even walking to somewhere you are newly to. In this post I would like to teach you guys how to install Garmin in your Symbian phone. It supported all Symbian included Nokia 5800. I am not really sure whether it can be use in N97 as I never try before. If anyone volunteers to try it out with you N97 and post a comment here with the result, I will be very appreciated with it. =)
Ok, let’s start with downloading the Garmin Mobile XT installer on this link. Just download the file and in to your computer. Once you finished downloaded, plug in your phone to your computer with mass storage type and run the installation file. Find your phone memory card directory (should be E: ) and click on install. While you waiting for it to get installed, go to this link for the Garmin MobileXT Basemap and this link for the Garmin MobileXT Support files. Download both these files and run it as what you did when you install the Garmin MobileXT to your phone. Plug your phone to mass storage mode, search for your phone and click install.
When everything is done, unplug your phone from the computer. Go to the File Manager in your phone(you should find it in Tools on your phone), go to your memory card directory and look for the Garmin folder. Open it up and you should see the garminmobilext.sis installer inside. If the installer Is not there, try to search for the installer in your root file, which means the first directory of your memory card. After you found it, install it by just clicking on it and click next and accept for any possible prompt question. After the installation done, you will see your garminmobileXT appear in your Application folder. Open it up and use default for all the possible prompt question except for the Distance/Speed, you must choose ‘Metric’ for this clause. Finally you will get to a page asking you either to purchase, trial or connect to a Bluetooth garmin device. At this time, you could try to choose the activation for trial as we just need to know for the Card ID to activate it. Or else, you can opt to choose the connect to a Bluetooth garmin device choice which is much more easier and highly recommended by me J. At this moment you have to go in to tools>settings>about to get the Card ID. Download the file on this link and run it. Type in your Card ID to the application you just downloaded and copy out the ID from it, paste the ID into notepad and save it as SW.UNL. Copy this and paste in to the Garmin folder located in your memory card directory (memory card>Garmin). By now, your Garmin should work fine.
REMINDER: ONLY FOR THOSE WHO CHOOSE TO CONNECT TO A BLUETOOTH GARMIN DEVICE!!!FOLLOW THE FOLLOWING STEP!!!>>Go to (Tools>Settings>Systems>Remote GPS) choose the Use Attached/ Built-in GPS and enable it after you done the previous step.
Lastly, go to this link and this link for latest Garmin map and POI(point of interest). Run the file after you downloaded and plug in your phone as mass storage mode again. Press next for all possible prompt question but make sure you choose the correct directory which is (your memory card>Garmin). At the end, your Garmin is ready to drive you all around Malaysia. For more and latest maps you can just log on to Malsingfreemap download it and do the previous steps for Maps and POI.
Hope you guys can enjoy it as Garmin is really a good GPS application for those who are not really good in recognizing roads. J
