Posted by Boffill Thursday, December 2, 2010


Here’s how you can install Garmin Mobile XT to your Nokia Phone. This installation process is for Symbian OS S60v5, Symbian^3, Anna and Belle. I tried this installation in my Nokia N8 so no worries at all. Follow this installation process to enjoy Garmin Mobile XT!


1. Download all the necessary files.
      a. Garmin MobileXT
      b. Garmin Keygen
      c. Garmin Maps
Download files here.
2. Connect your phone to PC using Mass Storage.
3. Run Garmin Mobile XT on PC then choose Memory Card then click install.
4. After installing from PC, unplug the phone and the phone will automatically prompt you to install Garmin.
5. After installation, transfer gmapsupp.img to your Garmin folder (Storage Card\Garmin\).
6. Run Garmin Mobile XT application on your phone then choose connect to a Bluetooth device and cancel it afterwards. Click on the Tool Icon then Settings then go to About icon and open it. Look for       your CARD ID.
7. On your PC, run Garmin Keygen then type your CARD ID and press Generate.
8. Copy your generated serial and type it on your notepad then save it as sw.unl.
9. Transfer the sw.unl file on your Garmin folder again.
10. Run Garmin Mobile XT on phone again then click on Tool then settings then System. Click on Remote GPS   and set it to use attached/Built-in GPS. This should activate your copy of Garmin Mobile XT. To verify, return to About page and you will notice that the Card ID is gone and it is being replaced by ESN.
11. Just in case you will need the MAP Unlock code, run the Garmin Keygen again and click Select Map Product and choose Custom Mapset. Enter 632 on the FID (mapID) and click generate.
12. Copy your generated Map Unlock Code and paste it on your notepad then save it as gmapsupp.unl and transfer it to your Garmin folder on your mobile phone.

Note: Just to make sure that your GPS won’t connect to your Local Network connection, go to Settings then Application Settings then Positioning then Positioning Methods then Uncheck Network Based, Wi-Fi/Network and Bluetooth GPS.

Your Garmin Mobile XT should be up and running by now. To check, go outside and try it. The lock up time would take about 15minutes for the first time. The signal bar should turn Green from Red when its locked up to a GPS Signal.
