Installing Garmin

Most of my friends wasted RM70-RM100 to get the installation of Garmin on their handphones. So here’s a simple instruction on how to successfully install and configure your Garmin with Malaysia & Singapore map. I’m using Nokia N79 for this setup. Actually it is same as long as u r using Symbian OS

Here goes…

First,
1. Download the files from the link
2. Extract out everything. Plug in your phone to PC in MASS STORAGE mode

3. Open Garmin XT Old>Copy everything in your Memory Card. Yes in ROOT. So it will look like this: -

E:\Garmin
E:\private and etc etc ... you get the idea :) [E:\ <<<--- Depending on ur Memory Card drive) 4. Open Garmin XT 5.5 >Copy everything in your Memory Card. Yes in also ROOT. Overwrite everything.

5. Open Garmin XT Support Data> Execute SETUP. This will install the voice and other files into ur Memory card. Follow the installaton instruction and that's it.

6. You need to crack your Garmin XT. Unplug your phone. Launch Garmin XT application in your Menu> Application.
the program should be there. If not then something is wrong. Repeat step 3-4.

7. There will be 4 option. <<>>

Select the search for <>, and then cancel the search,

Go TOOLS>SETTING>ABOUT and find the Unit ID. Copy down.

7. OPEN Keygen folder. Launch the program. Key in your UNIT ID and generate a serial code.
COPY that code.

8. Plug in your phone to PC and choose MASS STORAGE mode. Go to E:\Garmin folder

9. Create a text file. Paste the Serial CODE inside the text file. Click FILE>SAVE AS...>SW.UNL **Choose ALL FILE(*.*) in SAVE TYPE. SAVE it.

10. OPEN MSFreemap 1.68 folder. COPY GMAPSUPP.IMG then paste into E:\Garmin\

10. Unplug your phone. Launch the Garmin XT. Click I AGREE. then go to TOOL>SETTING>
SYSTEM> ** Scroll down till last** LAUNCH BACKGROUND SERVICE> Select ENABLE. Then EXIT the program.

11. Do the same thing. DISABLE it. EXIT.
