I have been trying to find the best GPS software to use on my phone. I have tried all the different kinds of apps (Garmin, NDrive 10, iGo…..) but found that Garmin seems to be the best with the maps it uses. The only problem is that the Garmin Mobile XT v5.00.20w is a bit old for most people.
I have been thinking about why Garmin stopped updating the Garmin Mobile XT software. I realized that Garmin is only updating the Garmin Asus Nüvifone M10 – which is actually running on Windows Mobile 6.5.3
Therefore, I wanted to update my Garmin Mobile app to the version that is being used on the Nüvifone M10 so I can also have junction view and 3D views and all the new cool things.
Anyhow, I found the new ROM files for the Nüvifone M10 and even the contents of the ROM which include the updated Garmin Mobile app itself. I tried so many things to make the thing work but end up with an error that won’t load the app. I thought it would be as easy by just copying the new files over from the Nüvifone M10 ROM, but I was wrong.
Does anyone think they can help me with this project? I don’t think it would be a hard thing but I just can’t figure out how to make the new Garmin Mobile XT app to work.
I have a Windows Mobile 6.5.3 phone (Samsung Omnia 2) and would love to have Garmin Mobile XT v 5.86.10 working on my phone
I would really appreciate anyone’s help. Thank you so much!
Great idea! Sorry I'm not able to help much. Will help to test once you get it working though.

We need a bit more than just the exe and some dll ... as long as the registry part is missing there's not much we can do. A link to the that Nüvifone M10 ROM you are talking about could be helpful.
cheers
Here it is, the OEM, SYS and EXTROM folders dumped from Nüvifone M10 ROM V6.22.0

wrong. every copy of mobile xt must be activated. maps are free, except for city navigator.
GArmin mobile xt 5.0.20 has to be purchased and activated at a garmin center. dont give me any of that garmin is giving mobile xt as a free app crap.
all garmin app comes free either with a nuvi pna or a nuvi phone. without their device the only app available for wm is mobile xt WHICH IS A COMMERCIAL PRODUCT. so jj62mtp, get your facts straight.
it is still "WAREZ" when you are trying to rip it of like this
too bad, woulda been nice if this was possible
Anything is possible!! Don’t let people discourage you. Everyone has the right to their feelings and ideas. That doesn’t mean that I care about their feelings and ideas. Plus, people do pay for the maps (City Navigator) and yet just want something up to date to run them on.

well yeah i totally agree. very unfortunate that garmin is only releasing this for that particular version. im one of those that have those maps, but would like something newer as well. so good luck if you, or anyone else, decides to do it.

Wrong, the software Garmin Mobile XT is free available and is automatically activated when you buy a Garmin GPS Receiver.
Garmin Mobile XT can not be bought seperated.
And maps, except Open Street Maps, are not free. Either you buy them or u are eligble for a free mapupdate.
Btw. Garmin MobileXT v5.20 is doing what it should do, navigating.
JCV and 3D Buildings is a nice to have, but if ur device is not powerful, then it won't work
i think one thing we can all agree on is that it would be in garmin's best interest to release a new version for our phones. if there's a market for the product, fill that niche. who knows, maybe they are working on it. but im not the type of person just to buy a new phone for a new app. i'd rather use what i have, and im sure there are plenty of people like me. garmin should cater to the customer, not the other way around.
I figured out how to solve this problem but I need a bit of help. Can someone go through the Que.exe file and see what files are needed to run with the application? This might help – I know that the app uses -- img.dir, img_ce.dir & img_480.gir as part of the program. Please find the list of files that this app uses.

Looks like the following libraries:

AsuDateTime.dll
DDRAW.dll
COREDLL.dll
ole32.dll
OLEAUT32.dll
commctrl.dll
protobuf.dll
AYGSHELL.dll
libGLES_CM.dll
Thank you so much for your help. I found all the *.dll files except for protobuf.dll
However, I find the dll files in a folder content but without a actual file called *.dll
Does anyone know which file is the *.dll file or what I should do to get the above *.dll files from the folder?
Good topic.
I can run this app, but after Garmin logo all breaks...

Yeah!, wow man, this would be an amazing thing if you get this going, hell, I will shoot over 20 bucks to yer paypal if you get this thing up. I purchased Garmin Mobile XT over 3 years ago now, I still have the origional bluetooth dongle, would be so nice to breath some fresh life into it!

Hi All
I have read on the Internet (pdamobiz)that Garmin Mobile XT works on the DopodU1000!!
Is there someone out there that could direct me to get it Going on my Advantage or have done it
I have played with the GPSProxy but no luck so far
Thanks in advance
I think... I'm not sure... they did it using the software which is for Dodop D810 and changing the "device id".
But looks like Garmin is prepared to launch the Mobile XT for all PDAs with internal GPS.
That could be a great new. I love Garmin program... I owned a Garmin c660 and I sold it to by my X7500 but I love the Garmin program.
Here is the news in english:
http://www.nationmultimedia.com/2007/08/10/technology/technology_30044428.php
And... after learning to read in thai I got a URL to the oficial site of Garmin in Thailand where you can download Mobile XT in Thai for PPC with internal GPS... I'm downloading now and I will give it a try.
Here: http://www.garminthailand.com/download.php?PHPSESSID=d95de9661325e20620a7c00b3c7b4048
Moderators... as far as I know this is a legal download site owned by Garmin... if not just edit the post.
I previously had GMXT version 4.20.50 and that worked flawlessly. The installation of this latest 5.00.10 update went fine, but whenever I attempt to run it I get a Garmin Mobile XT error at the Garmin startup screen saying "The system is low on memory. Please free some memory and restart the application." Contacting Garmin support yielded no answers, just saying that if it doesn't work, you can just revert back to the previous version. I'm using the stock X7501 ROM, and have 55MB Storage and 70MB Program memory available. So I doubt memory is really an issue here.
So I'm curious if anyone else that has an Advantage has installed this new version, and what their results were? I'd really like to use this update, as it adds some very nice new features to the app.
i have a X7500 and just installed the update and it starts ok i have 50mb storage and 71mb program
I found out the issue was with Spb's Mobile Shell Today plugin. Removing the plugin from the Today screen then allowed Mobile XT to run.
same problem
i have the same problem .. message of error at the begining
so i get back with older version
i 'm running bluechart charts ok with version 4.20.50wp
asus P535 wm6
What Today plugins do you have loaded? Try removing one at a time to see if you can get GMXT v5 to run. Trust me, it's worth it!
Thanks for the update. I wonder where's the focus group for this app. The way they continue to update it is great but I think there is a couple of obvious additions that should have taken priority.
Like a arrow on the map that shows the upcoming turn and distance to turn.
Addition of a QWERTY on screen keyboard.
A faster way to get to my saved "custom avoidance detours".
When entering a address all search results should start with the nearest locations first. ie. If I'm in Delaware and I'm searching for a address in New Jersey, Nebraska should not be at the top of the list.
Anyone install Garmin Mobile XT on the Advantage?
Hopefully it is permissible to resurrect this thread. I just bought a Pharos GPS Phone 600 and I am using Garmin Mobile XT on it. I Really like the combination. Now I am thinking of trying to find a nice used HTC Shift and getting Garmin Mobile XT for it. Do the windshield mounts available for these work pretty well, or would this be too large for use in a full size Chevrolet pickup truck?
I have a HTC X7500 and cant get Garmin to work, just won't load to main screen just sits there with the cursor spinning, I have tom tom running and Ndrive but don't like them as much as Garmin which I have on my old Nokia.
Can anyone advise which of the later versions of Garmin will work ok with the HTC.
Thanks

Hello all,
I have a HTC Magic. And was wondering if there is any software I can buy which allows real-time Sat Nav? (something like TomTom)
Anyone?
Check out AndNav2 in the market
Why not tomtom?

TomTom is only supported in Windows OS phones, not Android.
Will check out AndNav2!
andnav2 just doesnt work for me. It doesnt like post codes most of the time. It takes almost the entire journey to calculate a route only then to occasionaly take you via another country.
If you are mega stuck then its great and it is free so i cannot moan to much. I just think TomTom is much more reliable (gosh i cannot believe i just said that)
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.

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
Need more time, Not going to put a date on this, however, I will keep up with the thread.

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?
hey everone i wanted to put a good gps software on my hd2 so i wanted to know is there any good gps which doesnt requires internet connection on the phone to work...cuz i go to places where the etwork is not present...so i wanted some thing that'll work like my gps device...
The best I can find so far is iGO8.

There are maps for nearly the hole world.
I was woundering if I was using an internet does GPS cost extra onto my contract?
iGO8 is best GPS software for me. I tried all software for GPS and after all I've come to the conclusion that the best IGO8 in combination with Gurjon or DiMka skin and my color scheme.
Pretty tweaked and flexible software. iGO use internal maps and don`t use any internet or similar connection.

I have seen many videos of iGO Navigation on youtube and must say that application is nowehere near GARMIN XT app... Garmin simply turns your phone into GARMIN NAVIGATION itself. Very responsive, obtains satelite signals quickly, maps for the whole world, etc - you name it...
Note: Garmin XT is no longer on sale by it's manufacturer but some retailers still have some left. If you google it you will be able to find it.
I will try to do Garmin XT demo on my HD2 and post it for others to see how better it really is

does it need internet on the phone? or just runs with out it
Most of navigation software is offline - without internet connection.
TomTom, igo8, garmin, navigon, ndrive, ... all offline navigation
The US version of IGO is OnCourse Navigator. The only problem I had with Oncourse is that it required you to use their SD card which last time I checked was only 8gb. Garmin and Tom Tom were only 2 gb cards. I use CoPilot as it allows you to use your own SD card. The only thing you need to make sure of is that you deActivate every time you flash your phone. I've used all the programs listed and find them all to be very nice. Also CoPilot is also the cheapest at about $30.

Forgot to mention that BUT did state that you completely get NAVI UNIT out of that APP...
To answer your question - no, it does not use the internet at all. You can use it for better signal acquiring and for Garmin / Google Searching options - but that's up to you whether you want it or not...
I'm using Gamin Mobile XT and loving it. It's the same as my real Gamin that I decided too sell my Gamin 350. No text to speech like my 350, but who cares.
