Plenty of threads already exist on Garmin XT. I suggest you ask your query in one of these or Miri thread. No need to create a new thread for every query.
I've listed below a few Garmin threads I found using the 'search' function in the apps, software & themes forum:

If you think it is not working because there is no activity in the satelites then just run quickgps, go to an open area and go to the map view of garmin. Garmin doesnt support view of the satelite activity but does connect perfectly with them. If you cant see your location in the map view then that might be a problem. Also
-Change your radio version with the appropriate rilphone
-try google maps with gps and see if it locks.
Cheers.

No Warez on the forum
iGo 8.3 runs great and can also use TMC data from the internal radio
Mod edit: Warez link removed
@youser,
Which part of NO WAREZ didn't you understand?
However most Sat Navs, iGO8 and Tomtom support Middle East maps.
Mods, delete youser post.

Best GPS Software for Touch Pro 2 Owners - Garmin Mobile XT

Garmin Mobile XT for Windows Mobile, Ver. 5.00.20w With North America Maps.
Works Great
Here are your Garmin Screenshots: SEE BELOW
Is there a North American Version?
no way I'm going to spend $99.99 on a navigation solution that requires me to switch out my SD card every time I want to navigate.
Best GPS

I use Tomtom and i dare say it is tons better than anything else i have tried, i have evem carried out the geo-photo hack and can now geo-tag photos and navigate to them
version in use is 7.9196 with version 8 maps
TomTom Nav 7 hands down, the best IMO. Their support kinda sucks but if you really want to get it working on your TP2, you can do it, even with TT6 maps. I love it, I dread the day when I have to get a new device and I can't use TomTom with it. I will be updating my maps soon because it's just worth it.
I've had Garmin XT installed for only about a week. It does what it should. I wish it had TTS though. Telenav had TTS but I didn't like the fees since I got Garmin for free.
OK You wanna go to war, I take you to war
I will begin this week testing the major Windows Mobile GPS Applications.
I will start first by testing: Garmin Mobile XT for Windows Mobile, Ver. 5.00.20w
and the latest TomTom for Windows Mobile
I will begin posting the results of Garmin tomorrow
Soundoff - Which other GPS Navigation Software should I test ?
You Choose
What I want to know is can Garmin XT really be copied to another card. I've heard in the past that it can but it's supposed to be locked to the card. Can someone verify?
At Midnight EST
Everyone will find out.

It is possible to install garmin xt to your own sd card. I've been using it for about 3 weeks now since I don't want to pay telenav $9.99 a month. But I miss hearing the street names.

How about Telus Navigator, Google Maps, amAze GPS, and navit.
I doubt they will stack up to Garmin or TT7 but they cost less (minus Telus Nav) and may as well be tested. We could be surprised

Try iGO8 - it works great on our TP2
Garmin XT has so many bugs I don't use it anymore, so everyone has his own favourite.
btw: Used Garmin for cycling...
Garmin can definitely be copied onto another SD card. I've been using it on my 8gb for a while now and I love it. I really do miss TTS though.

How about a digital camera shot of the phone? Or would that not work well enough?
Give me some time
Give me some time, I will get some softwre that will work and take screenshots for TP2,
I will test everything listed

Ok, sounds great. I look forward to reading your reviews. If I find other solutions, shall I list them?
I'm a Garmin XT user...
And I like Garmin XT for its simplicity - I don't need a bunch of 3D buildings and wasteful processor cycles for very needless eye candy.
With that said, I have not used iGo8 or TomTom - I'm a simple Garmin Mobile XT user. I can use Garmin XT while listening to music in my car without a skip... that is what's important to me.
Screenshots as requested...
I run Garmin XT on my phone, on my own 16GB card, as I have for years. Something to note - you can update the maps from other Garmin products as well.
Some of the issues I have with the OTHER GPS programs is the tendency to be very Europe-centric. TomTom 7 does not appear to offer North America maps, though I believe people are using TomTom 6 maps. Nav N Go iGO8 looks interesting, but having a map of Paris does me no good in Toronto, Canada.
Come to think of it .... ARE there any (non Networks in Motion TELUS Navigator type $10/month) Text to Speech options for Canada?

GPS OFF

I have two identical balckstone, loaded with energy WM 6.5
Under the same identical conditions one of them can get GPS signal (I am using Garmin XT and I am in Bali, Indonesia)
The other one cannot link the GOS signal. I have tried many applications like
- chartcross GPS test
- HTC GPSTool
- QuickGPS
Garmin appl says GPS is OFF
The testing software say cannot link the GPS
It seems that there is a hardware faulty, but before I confirm that, can somebody suggest other good GPS tools, so I further my testings?
Thanks
Saulo
my both Blackstones Touch HD are equipped as follows:
- OS version 5.2.23016
- Windows Mobile 6.5
- Energy ROM
on the faulty phone, none of the GPS default tools can link the GPS
Thanks and waiting for suggestions....
