* This Garmin Mobile XT application is designed for use on Symbian smartphone devices running S60(ie. Nokia E6x, Nokia N7x) 3rd Edition OS .
* You must have a previous version of the XT software installed on your SD card to have all of the help files, voice files and basemap files. These are not included with this update.
* During installation, you will be prompted to turn on your Garmin GPS. Please Note: You will not gain access to Garmin Online features and/or the navigation will be unavailable without connecting your Garmin GPS.
* A minimum card size of 256 MB is recommended for Garmin Mobile XT software with maps.
* Please save all appropriate data before beginning the update.

Change History
Changes made from version 4.xx.xx to 5.00.00:

* Update the look and feel of the Garmin Mobile XT application.
* Add new Garmin Online feature - Google Local Search.
* Add new Garmin Online feature - Panoramio Photos.
* Add new Garmin Online feature - Flight Status.
* Add Speed Limit display to the View Map.
* Add ability to install and display custom vehicle icons.
* Modify 'Peerpoints' feature name to 'Location Message'.

Installation Instructions

1. As with any software update, you should always create a backup of the data on your device before beginning. Please see the information provided in the user manual for your device for more information.
2. To import your existing saved settings/waypoints/routes/tracks after you have updated to the latest version, you will need to export them to the SD card at this time. Select Tools->Manage My Data then select the Manage option. Select Export GPX. This will create a file on the SD card that contains all of your saved information. Select Done and Exit the application when this is complete.
3. Copy the following file from the SD card to a safe location (this file will be used to import your saved information later):
(SD card)\Garmin\GPX\CURRENT.GPX
After copying this file, delete the file from the SD card.
4. Insert the SD card into your card reader. (Applicable for most Symbian OS devices - some Nokia phones offer 'Data Transfer' mode when connected to the PC and will allow the phone to act like a USB card reader.)
5. To begin the SD card setup, select the 'Download' link found on this web page.
6. Select to 'Run' or 'Save' the file. Selecting 'Run' will immediately launch the install program. Selecting 'Save', will save the file to your PC and require you to launch the install program from the saved location.
7. If you receive an error copying the files to the destination SD card, you will need to manually browse the card to remove the following two files:
(SD card)\Garmin\Apps\Symbian\res\GarminMobileXT.SIS
(SD card)\private\10202dce\GarminMobileXT_PA.SIS
Rerun the file downloaded from the link on this web page (Step 5).
8. Follow the directions provided when running the downloaded program and directions provided on the device display to complete the application update. Insert the SD card into the phone (if necessary). If the installation/update does not occur automatically upon insertion of the SD card into your device, browse to the SD card root directory and manually run the GarminMobileXT.SIS file.
9. Exit the application (if necessary). Copy the CURRENT.GPX file saved in Step 2 to SD card location: \Garmin\GPX\CURRENT.GPX
Replace the existing file on the SD card if necessary.
10. Start the application. The import of the data should happen automatically. If it does not, select Tools->Manage My Data then select the Manage option. Select Import GPX. Your saved application data should now be available.
11. You will need to keep the SD card inserted in your device for the voice, help and basemap files. This SD card can also be used to hold your detailed maps

couldnt resist the new interface and updated features has got me in updating mode lol updating now

[buxz777]

Had 2 problems with updating to 5.00.00

1) The program didn't update itself when I reinserted the microSD card. The menu items were garbled images. After reinstalling the Garmin application using the above instructions I was able to get 5.0 working.

2) 5.0 doesn't detect my maps so now I'm reinstalling them. A bit of a hassle since it takes a while but I like the new look of the interface. Definitely worth the trouble since I've been on a updating frenzy with the v30 firmware.

Anyhow thanks for sharing the links!

thanks alot, was very easy to update, and the new interface is really nice

edit- btw your first link isnt working. i just dwnloaded the 2nd link, and copied the file structure to my memory card, then uninstalled garmin through app manager, then replaced the sis file in garmin>apps>symbian>s60>res, then installed it through file manager on the phone

my maps still work fine, no problems i can see so far

[Strike out]I do not see the update released either on Garmin or on Garmin Taiwan. What is the source of your update?[/Strike Out]

Sorry! My bad (or rather Garmin's). If you go to updates and downloads through the product page it shows the latest version as 4.20.20 (https://buy.garmin.com/shop/store/do...=138&pID=11413) but if you go through-Support-Updates and Downloads-GarminnXT its v 5.00 (Garmin: Garmin Mobile XT Navigation for Smartphones Software Update Collection).

@Bart: Hope you had not missed it!!!

iam getting quite bad slow down , infact id say real bad slow down , i think its because the map is showing all my poi but they are turn off in the settings

hummmm iam gonna try re installing and re installing my poi as they shouldnt be showing up when switched off in the settings

[buxz777]

just sorted the 1000 poi loading up on the map i had to go into settings then switch off poi and my locations

iam guessing custom poi show up as my locations?? not sure but thats what it looks like

anyways at least i dont have to reinstall iamjust hoping this cures the slow down as it was terrible this morning pretty much unuseable really , tomtom used to do the same when to many poi was showing though so hope it solves it :-)

hows everyone else getting on?? i love the new interface and features like the panaroma picture feature :-) where you can select a place to drive to by looking at a cool pic of the landscape , very nice touch
