Re: 6800 Garmin GPS.......
 

I'm currently running the latest version of XT and it's working great. One thing i've always wondered though about XT, is it possible to adjust the frequency or time intervals at which the map refreshes?

Sometimes i feel like the map refreshes a little slowly. Or is it that the mogul/6800's specs are a little lacking for the app?

Re: 6800 Garmin GPS.......
 

i think thats just the 6800's thing. one thing i have realized is with the new 5.XX update i dont need to prime the GPS first. all i do is turn the phone on and open XT and within a min or so its tracking sats like a champ. usually 4 or 5(full strength) light up. so that frees up a little space on the 6800 and a little extra ram.

Re: 6800 Garmin GPS.......
 

OK....so the Mogul 6800 is freezing on start up and only works occasionally. Does anyone know how to fix this? Others out there are experiencing this same issue with the 5.0 update....so please post!!!

Re: 6800 Garmin GPS.......
 

you gotta change your GPS driver from COM 4 to intermediate

Re: 6800 Garmin GPS.......
 

intermediate isn't event an option.....where is that on the mogul?????

Re: 6800 Garmin GPS.......
 

ok....found out why it was freezing....backlight issue....apparently it freezes if the backlight goes off......wasn't there a fix for this a while ago that didn't involve keeping the backlight on and wasting battery?

Re: 6800 Garmin GPS.......
 

the settings are in Garmin on the the home screen click on the reception bars on the top left corner than click disable than choose the intermediate GPS option than click enable I don't know about the backlight being the cause of freezing for me this was the problem on my vogue and we have the same drivers

Re: 6800 Garmin GPS.......
 

I just installed the lastest 5.20 or whatever it is and it locks up sometimes. Any ideas?

Re: 6800 Garmin GPS.......
 

I have a gift card at Best Buy that would cover the 2009 map upgrade on SD. If I buy that can I download the software and get it running from scratch, or do I need to purchase the whole package (Best Buy does not seem to carry that!)

Re: 6800 Garmin GPS.......
 

like i said you gotta change your GPS driver in garmin from COM 4 to intermediate from the home screen click on the reception bars on the top left corner than click disable than choose the intermediate GPS option than click enable

Re: 6800 Garmin GPS.......
 

I use COM 4 with no problems. Com4 or intermediate works with Garmin. The problem is Garmin itself. I would recommend going back to a older version. Lots of people are having issues with it locking.

Re: 6800 Garmin GPS.......
 

it does work on both com 4 and intermediate driver..although if u keep it on com 4 and run and exit garmin two or three times it will lock up your phone..but if u put it on intermediate garmin wont lock up once every 3 times you run and close it..

Re: 6800 Garmin GPS.......
 

I'm sorry if this was covered before but it takes like literally a couple minutes to calculate routes. How can I speed that up? I'm running 5.00.20W w\ the full US map (2009 Navigator I believe).

Re: 6800 Garmin GPS.......
 

Man, the Intermediate setting worked! Garmin would lock up 50% of the time before but has not locked up in the last 15 or so times I've started the app. Thanks!

Re: 6800 Garmin GPS.......
 

50020w Changes my clock to 7:00. I don't understand at all. I didn't read that any else had that problem. I wonder why. I came straight from version 42020

Re: 6800 Garmin GPS.......
 

anyone have this problem?

Re: 6800 Garmin GPS.......
 

One of the older versions used to do something similar to mine, but that was only when it wasn't able to get a satellite lock.

Re: 6800 Garmin GPS.......
 

I'm sure this has been asked, but it takes forever to calculate a route (5.00.20w I think). Any ideas?

Re: 6800 Garmin GPS.......
 

for the route calc mine is hit and miss. one time it takes only a few sec's next time it can take up to and over 45 sec.

Re: 6800 Garmin GPS.......
 

Ok. That's annoying. If anyone has any tips just post here.

Re: 6800 Garmin GPS.......
 

I have not been able to find an asnwer to this question: Is it possbile to use the Moguls internal GPS reciever and Garmin Que GPS software?

I have a legal version of Garmin que 2.9 software on my Mogul. However, it wants to use the Bluetooth (gps 10) receiver for its connection. i would like it to connect to the internal GPS though. I have been able to get TomTom software on the Mogul to connect to the internal GPS. But not my Garmin Software. I have seen Directions for using MobileXT and the internal GPS. But I do not like that GPS interface nor TomToms.

So, if anyone knows of a way to get the Garmin Que software to use the Moguls internal GPS...please..please..please post an how to. I hate having to use the bluethooth GPS or Mobile xt or Tomtom.

Thanks!

Re: 6800 Garmin GPS.......
 

OK, I'm using 5.00.20wp and to fix the problem of time/date changed by software: Go to tools--->settings--->display--->color mode, i noticed if i keep (auto) between day and night, it will changes my time/date.

P.S. I use DAY permanently. my time/date has not change since then, just give it a shot.:laughing3:

Edit: is there any way to speed up the way the vehicle moves when navigating.
Thanks in advanced.

Re: 6800 Garmin GPS.......
 

I just reinstalled 5.00.20wp and it stopped messing with my time.

Re: 6800 Garmin GPS.......
 

Happy new year!

Re: 6800 Garmin GPS.......
 

happy new years 2 years later :-) is there a new thread for mobile xt anywhere? absolutely LOVE the software bar none best route calculation algo's around. I have over a dozen GPS units and none come even close!

Also found out how to change voices just rename your new voice AS ONE OF your existing voices and copy over it. works a champ.

anymore tips tricks upgrades etc... ??

for over writing maps you don't have to "do them all" at once. just rename your original map to something else and upload your new map. you can have more than one map just don't make them all the same name.
