Does the Garmin XP need the "jump start" on the GPS like TomTom? You know, like clicking Google maps first? If so, has anyone come up with a launcher program. I could not find this info. Thanks. Ginny

Open Garmin - Settings - Display - Backlight override.
You can just check the box's that apply to you.

I also have the Mobile XT and love it. One thing I would like to be able to do is have the voice guidance play through my bluetooth headset. Anyone figured out how?

Thanks

Im trying to install the Garmin XT mobile also, and I could use some help as there doesnt seem to be any real concise directions in one place.

I installed the 3 files. It then tells me I need to unlock it. In order to do so I need a unit id? Im not sure what the Unit ID is, or where I would find it.

1 ) I ran GarminXT
2 ) I chose connect to Garmin GPS
3 ) Skipped detection of GPS device
4 ) Agreed to terms of use
5 ) This brought up main screen showing:

a) Where To:
b) View Map:
c) Tools:
d) Settings:
e) Exit:

6 ) I went to Settings --> About
7 ) Under the about screen:

a) IMEI
b) IMSI
c) Device ID
d) Card ID

8 ) I used the Card ID, and that generated an unlock code, but Im not sure if that is what I should be using.

9 ) The directions state that I should do something with this unlock code. It mentions saving it as sw.unl, and putting it in the Garmin software folder? Do you just put the unlock code in a blank file and nothing else?

If someone could please PM me some detailed instructions id appreciate it. If you do and get it working Ill writeup a nice detailed HOWTO and possibly put a video on YOUTUBE detailing the process.

Thanks!

One could easily assume that YOU yourself are running a cracked version, which BTW I never stated or implied that I was. Also, I didnt request it to be discussed in the forum. I asked for PM's.

So take a deep breath, get off the high horse, and send me a PM already, Eh? :-$

So..when you go to load maps on the device using the map software, do you have to pick and choose certain maps or can you just dump the entire US set on? I travel a lot and do not want to pick and choose maps each time i travel.

The way the 2008 north American map is set up you can pick just one region or like I did you can load them all. I just picked all of them and loaded the whole United States. It worked well with the complete U.S.A on it.

So I'm starting this thread to see if any cats out there in Geek Land have any cool custom POI's. For those that are going to ask a POI is a "Point Of Interest". I have been using Garmin Mobile XT and its the bee's knee's and couldn't ask for anything better. So here is a cool POI I found its a Red Light and Speed Camera POI and is up to date as of 2-08. It shows and warns you to slow down when you reach one (Cam). Now odds are not ALL cameras are on here but There are a lot of them and it will save ya a ticket in the city I'm sure.
So HERE is the custom POI for the "speed cams/Red Light cams".
This HERE is some info on Garmin Mobile XT (*Cracked version available Google.com) Dont ask I dont know where.
If you already have Garmin gps you will need the Garmin POI Loader to load these to your phone and you can get it HERE.
To install Maps download the map (EX:"City Navigator North America 2008") and then Download a App called Garmin MapInstall for (Windows) HERE (Mac) HERE. Run the map install and it will load your maps.

''Update - There is a update 420.30 at Garmins site for Garmin Mobile XT. I installed it over 420.20 worked well installed no problems."

Just curious... Is everyone installing Garmin XT on the garmin supplied microSD card or are they supplying an option for you to install it on your own card. I want to install it on my own 8gb card and not have to swap cards. I heard this was an issue and an option that garmin was currently working on. Thanks in advanced

Its a GPS program that uses nautical, topo maps, allows you to plot courses, mark "fishing hot spots" etc. For nautical chart of lake, you'd have depths, etc. to find structures

I use it on long island sound and the florida intercoastal, and little sebago.

it sucks but if you shellout the 99 bucks for the oem version you have to put in thier sd crd when you want to use it. and no pulling it off the card.
sucks because i actually own two licenses for city navigator 2008 from my handheld gps units. cant see spending another 100 bucks for another version of something i already own.
