As far as tell you where to get marine maps all I can say is Google. But if you do find some you'll have to install all your maps together again at the same time.

but they do have some for the xt mobile version? Or can I use any version?

The maps can be any (AFAIK, with an exception or 2) Garmin maps. Just DL the maps to the phone or SD card using MapSoure. You need to use the windows version to do that (don't know if it matters to you.)

Mobile XT in theory supports more than one map installed although people have had trouble getting more than one map to work w/o wiping out the other.

The City Nav (NT and non-NT) maps both work fine. Aviation maps will NOT work.
Can you put the marine maps on a normal say e-Trex unit? If so they should work, but don't hold me to it.

I dont have an etrex to try it on. I only have my nuvi 660 for the street, but I dont think that will work. I am researching up on it now and will let you know what I figure out if anything.

**Lsme420** · #**256** (**permalink**) 05-07-2008, 01:34 PM

Weird, seems like the GarminXT updates & downloads page keeps changing the froms & tos. I don't see 4.20.40w in there anymore and 4.20.30w is back... maybe its just me. It also doesn't seem that they are watching this thread or addressing the clock issue. Oh well.... I'm gonna give the 50 a try. BTW thanks for the link Nickles.

Wow, you can get none NT maps to work on yours? I wonder what I am doing wrong. I have a tone of maps that I have purchased fom my legend and I thought I would be able to use them on Mobile XT but I always get a message about it being locked, even though I unlocked them on Windows and use them on my regular Garmin alll the time. Any help would be great.

Why do I get a window telling me the fastest version of Garmin is already installed every time I turn on my Mogul?

Its the auto install on the sd card. I deleted mine a long time ago. I think its in a folder named 2577 or something like that. Try to cut and past it (2577) to a different folder soft reset and see if that helped it. If it did and it still works erase the 2577 folder.
