How To Install Garmin Mobile XT for Windows Mobile Phone

June 5, 2009 · View Comments

in Technology

Garmin Mobile XT is one of wonderful handy application to GPS enabled mobile phone, especially for Symbian 60 series and Windows Mobile. When I first get my Samsung Omnia phone, it was nothing than only with a small bunch of basic Windows Mobile application. So I decide to install this one, Garmin Mobile XT since I really need this to travel up down left and right. The best part is, it’s FREE and no data consumption.

Have no intention of sending the phone to phone shop for GPS installation, I decided to try on my own. Here are steps what I did and posted here will maybe be my reference in future time. At first, let’s have a look on what we can do with Garmin Mobile XT:

Listed here are what needed to install Garmin Mobile XT to Windows Mobile Phone:

  • GPS Navigation Enabled Phone, in my case, I’m using Samsung Omnia.
  • A Windows computer with Microsoft ActiveSync installed (Download ActiveSynce if you don’t have one).
  • USB Cable to connect phone with the computer
  • Garmin Mobile XT application (available to download at Garmin site)

Installing Garmin Mobile XT

First off, there are three (3) main downloads needed to perform the operation. Download all these application.

Connect your device to the computer using the USB cable. Make sure that you are connected via Microsoft ActiveSync. Download all the above files to your computer, double click the file, install, and choose the installation location to your mobile phone. In my case, I choose to install to “My Storage”, and the installation directory will look like this:

My Storage\Garmin\

Finish up the installation. Install all three Garmin Mobile XT, Support files and Free basemap one by one with the same procedure. Disconnect your mobile phone from the PC and see your mobile phone for new application installation process.

Adding GPS Map files to your Garmin Mobile XT

Now that we’re all set with the application, it’s time to install GPS map files to your mobile phone. In my case, I use MalsingMaps Malaysia and Singapore map. You need to download the installer files to your PC first, and it is available here:

  • MalsingMaps Malaysia and Singapore map (MFM) : Download (at the moment: MFM v1.60)
  • MelsingMaps Malaysia and Singapore Topo map (MFM-SRTM) : Download (at the moment:  MFM-SRTM v1.02)

Now that you’ve downloaded both these files. Reconnect your mobile phone back to your PC with USB cable. This time, I will not going to connect my phone via ‘ActiveSync’, but connect via ‘Mass Storage’. On your mobile phone, go ‘Start > Settings > Connection > USB connection’ and choose ‘Mass Storage’. Now connect it to the computer.

Open up the downloaded files on your PC by double clicking the MFM map installer file. Follow the installation guide here. Repeat the installation process to MFM-SRTM topo map.

Now that all set and you are ready to go!

Additional For Testing Purpose : Keygen

Garmin Mobile XT is not free, it comes with 15 days trial. There is a keygen available by searching to Google, Aand here’s how to crack them up. Take note that please support the original one, since updates will becoming more handy.

  1. Upon exploring ‘File Explorer’ at your mobile phone, go to the partition you’ve installed Garmin Mobile XT, and you’ll find the folder “2577″. Delete Download the folder.
  2. Run you Garmin Mobile XT application, go to ” Tools > Settings > About “.
  3. Copy all the information, ID numbers anywhere on a paper.
  4. Run IMEI to UnitID Converter v1.0, Use CardID as your IMEI if you are using Windows Mobile phone. Find your IMEI and use it.
  5. Generate your UnitID
  6. Run Garmin Keygen 1.5 , paste out the UnitID there and click ‘generate’.
  7. You will be given a software unlock code. Copy the code number.
  8. Run notepad, paste down the code, and save the file as SW.UNL (not SW.UNL.txt)
  9. Connect your PC with your mobile phone and copy the SW.UNL file to root directory where you install Garmin. In my case, ‘ “My Storage”/ ‘
  10. Restart your Garmin Mobile XT. Done.

@ Syaz – I’m not really familiar with Sony Xperia X1, but if you are using Symbian phone, you can try Noktahhitam’s method : Click Here

4 carlos September 22, 2009 at 3:05 AM

hi syaz,
sony ericsson supersecret OS is not such as secret anymore. The phone has been reviewed as a Smartphone running windows mobile 6.1 which is very stabil OS platform. The right option for u is Garmin Mobile XT for WINDOWS MOBILE.The method is slightly differs from others.Install Garmin Mobile XT in ur device along with all the support 4xxx files. The Gmapbmap.img files shud be installed on ur SD card along with all other maps ( MFM-SRTMv1.02) (MFMv1.69). Copy the keygen crack to both folders 1 on device & 1 on SD. TADAAAA!!! ur all set

5 syaz September 23, 2009 at 1:13 AM

10 carlos October 13, 2009 at 6:08 PM

mad,
if ur phone don’t have a gps receiver, then u cannot use ANY third party navigation software ( like Garmin Mobile XT ). Unless u buy a gps receiver that is compatible with ur phone which in this case is better to buy another phone with built-in gps or a-gps instead of buying the receiver cos the price of those receiver is way expensive.

11 mad October 13, 2009 at 6:46 PM

thks carlos
i think `this is it 2009` my time to change new phone….

12 carlos October 13, 2009 at 6:59 PM

Good call!! Try o2 xda Topaz T5353-HTC Touch Diamond

13 carlos October 13, 2009 at 7:01 PM

I mean HTC Touch Diamond 2, the predecessor Touch Diamond is not very cool from my point of view laa..
:-)
Happy Shopping!!

Hi,

There is a difference between malsingsmap and malfreemap. The latter one can download free maps. There is a typing error in your steps. Cheers

24 akudiablo November 10, 2009 at 3:39 PM

Just go to HP shop and ask them to install. RM20 only nowadays. No headache on IMEI no, keygen and what so ever..if tak boleh jugak…campak laut je HP tu…sblm ni takde GPS pon boleh hidup ape…

If after 3 days no reception mean that something wrong with your 3G or GPRS setting. Contact your network provider.

25 syncronizer November 18, 2009 at 2:23 AM

all the installation process doesnt bring any problem to me either..hehe. currently using touch HD. Thanks Hanep..

I post here a combi version of Garmin Mobile XT for Symbian & Windows Mobile. Most of the languages & Garmin vehicles are included.

Default map is Malsingmap Singapore Malaysia Map V3.09, no unlock code needed for gmapsupp.img.
You need only generate unlock code for SW.UNL under \Garmin\SW.UNL

Symbian 5.00.50

1.Install using GarminMobileXT.sis under the root folder.
2.Get the unit ID and generate unlock code for SW.UNL

WM 5.00.20W

1.Go to \Garmin\WM\QuePPC.exe
2.Get the unit ID and generate unlock code for SW.UNL

Download link as below:

enjoy

41 Noiseberg December 17, 2009 at 11:24 PM

Works great on my Touch Pro 2 with wm 6.5, just a trick, the IMEI you get on the garmin XT is actually the unit ID, if this Gamin IMEi is used on the IMEI converter, I get the invalid IMEI error, however if I use the IMEI as obtained from the phone, the Unit ID number i get is the same as the one I read as Garmin XT IMEI.

The SW.UNL file needs to be under the Garmin Directory to work.
Great Post, I did contact Garmin to purchase the license… no asnwer yet…

42 pjump December 18, 2009 at 11:25 PM
