Re: Garmin GPS.......
 

No other way and yes you have to install them all at the same time. There is a post about it here some place in this thread.

Re: Garmin GPS.......
 

When i click disable I get a message that says "Connection allowed to Garmin GPS device only". I have version 4.10.00wp. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks. Great thread btw.

Re: Garmin GPS.......
 

Means its not registered. Also I would update to the 4.20.20 version

Re: Garmin GPS.......
 

start>settings>system tab>device information ?

im new, but i think it requires the 3.27 radio? there are A LOT OF GREAT INFORMATIVE POSTS ALL through this site..

Re: Garmin GPS.......
 

Welcome Here......(Your first post)

Just make sure you are running the newest Sprint Rom and Garmin will work for you. Most up to date I know of is *("Rom Version 3.35.651.2" "Radio 3.35.04")..

I would imagine if your device is only two weeks old and you got it from the Sprint store it would have the most recent software on it.

*(RUU_TITAN_SPRINT_WWE_3.35.651.2_RS_TITAN_3.35.04 _4350H_SPCS_AM_Ship)

Re: Garmin GPS.......
 

after re-installing after a rom flash it won't find my internal gps anymore.
whats the best way to fix?

Re: Garmin GPS.......
 

I get the same problem using Navizon and Holux GPS viewer must be a phone/radio/WM problem.

Re: Garmin GPS.......
 

SO, I've been having trouble getting maps to work, but I have found an at least temporary solution.

First: This is meant to be used if you have your own maps!!!!! I purchased some Garmin maps about 1.5 years ago for my gps and used one of the 2 unlock codes.

Get Garmin's Mobile XT software. Grab it from the Updates section of Garmin's site. It's listed as Aditional Software. Then Under Garmin Mobile XT The 4.20.30 works for me.
EDIT: Apparently, .30w has a bunch of bugs. I may have seen a few but, .20 is also only available in a cracked form.

At the bottom of the page are help files and maps grab them if you want. The maps are the basic non-detailed ones. We'll be using our own maps.

First, I'm using the City Navigator v8 non-NT (same but compressed) maps. I imagine the MetroGuide (cheaper but less detailed version) would work.

At this time you need a PC as Garmin's Bobcat software for the Mac doesn't yet support loading at the maps the same way. Or I can't get it to work on mine. If you want to test with bobcat YOU WILL NEED TO USE A CARD READER.

I recommend using a card reader anyway as it's faster.

Open the map source app on the PC and select the little yellow polygon thing. Then select all the sections you want. I selected the contiguous 48 states and it came in at a little over a gig for the non compressed maps. The whole North Am clocks in at about 1.3GB. However once sent to the phone the size appears to be a bit more.

Load the card into the phone and fire up Mobile XT. Then click trial. This should at least work for 2 weeks will need to wait and see.

I'd like to use Garmin's unlock process to do it. I'm not sure how it will quite work. I may email customer support (they've been helpful before!) and see how that goes. In the meantime I hope this helped.

Also to the OP, would you mind editing the first post to include the numbers or links of this post and some of the others. It would be really helpful for 'noobs' and would save a lot of time going thought 21+ pages.

Re: Garmin GPS.......
 

Sorry not going to happen and I'll say why.

First: Version 4.20.30 doe's not work. Seems to have some bugs in it...
If it works for you great but your the only one. This has been discussed here many times and always leads to clock problems and other glitches for everybody.
I did have a link in the original post to the 4.20.30 update but after all the problems I and every one had with it I removed it. However I did update it to say people should stick with 4.20.20.

Second: I don't see what your doing. Who wants to "fix" their maps every two weeks, thats just a band aid not a fix.
What problem are you having with maps originally? You should install them then be done with it. Some people have small issues I'm sure yours is a simple fix also.

Third: I/noob's read through 21+ pages so we don't ask questions and make duplicate post that have already been discussed. It boils down to I/we want as much info about our PPC's and everything in them as possible so when/if it breaks we know what to do. That is unless your lazy.( You can change your settings I only see 6 pages not 21.)

But again whats your original problem your having with loading and using your maps?

Re: Garmin GPS.......
 

for those who don't believe. I am on 4.20.30 and my clock was set fine at 2:28. I loaded garmin, and then closed it out and my clock is not set for 8:00 pm. So yes, you can get 4.20.30 to work as long as you are ok with your clock changing. I don't use the GPS often so I don't really care too much and I am messing with other stuff. some time I will load it up again with the older load. And yes there are 212 posts but I read them all. I guess it just depends on how serious one is about getting the app to work. Almost every question I had I found the answers to within this thread and also found how how I can find the stuff that I can't find in this thread. ;)

Re: Garmin GPS.......
 

Yeah, a lot of the time when I run Garmin XT, my clock will get changed to 8pm if it cant find a signal.

Easy to fix though, just re-sync the time through the phone settings.

Re: Garmin GPS.......
 

well, that makes sense. I am inside a steel building and just turned it on to get the version. I don't have a signal. thanks for the heads up on how to fix it other than manually. Yep, and this works like a champ. thanks.

Re: Garmin GPS.......
 

The original problem was them not loading or unlocking or not being recognized. They still don't seem to unlock and yes their genuine garmin maps.

The 'fix' also only was clicking a button for a second.

But I'm curious to try .20 if there's so many problems with .30. I've noticed some weird things today but I'm not sure it's garmin that caused it.

Re: Garmin GPS.......
 

Also as far as the 'more than one map' thing goes:
Using the .30w version the is a screen under Settings that shows a list of the currently installed maps. Mine says base map and City Nav v8.

I think there must be a way to add more than one map set. You can do it for the regular GPS. But I can't trst as I have only one map to use. :/

Re: Garmin GPS.......
 

i still have not resolved this issue... everytime i click the garmin shortcut i am unable to get garmin to find gps. i have however found a workaround and i am not sure why it would work this way but not when i use the default shortcut.

the workaround is to run queppc.exe from storage card/garmin/wm. i just made a shortcut to it and run that instead of the default one. works great.

Re: Garmin GPS.......
 

Oh ok I think I know the solution from having a similar issue. I just reinstalled Mobile XT.

I used a non cracked all legal version from garmin's site. I don't know if the cracked version is any different.

Also have you checked your settings under Settings > Sys. > Ext. GPS Should all be COM4 and baud rate 4800. I'm sure you have but it doesn't hurt to ask.

Re: Garmin GPS.......
 

For anyone who may have used a cracked version for "educational" purposes, evidently it hasn't been hurting Garmin's business. Here's an article in the Kansas City Star stating they reported a $151 million profit for 1st quarter 2008.

Re: Garmin GPS.......
 

Well it sure seems like every time I'm out driving there is a gps stuck up on everyones dash. There has been an explosions of gps devices sold in the u.s. I myself have a 2620 unit and my Mogul of course.

Re: Garmin GPS.......
 

I did not see this listed in any pages. (and yes I read all 22pages of them) If I missed it then sorry. but 4.20.40w is apparently out.
Direct Link HERE. Website Link HERE. I read about the problems w/4.20.30. I downloaded the ....40w but did not install it yet. I currently have the ...20 installed.
Good Luck

Re: Garmin GPS.......
 

Garmin XT 4.20.20w
Base Map
City Navigator 08 detailed map
thats it... lol sorry I'm no help but I've downloaded the redlight/speed camera rar adn rest area.rar you posted links to in the first couple of posts. THANK YOU Lsme420. Also want to thank you for keeping tabs on the thread and keeping it on topic. appreciate that.

Re: Garmin GPS.......
 

Hey thanks for the heads up on this. I installed it over top of 4.20.20 and its running good. Aslo haven't noticed the clock issue any more.
Good lookin out. I quoted you in post in #1..........

Re: Garmin GPS.......
 

I have just confirmed that 4.20.40w will change the clock if you don't have a sat sync. I just closed it out and what do you know. It says 8:00 pm. Oh well. but I guess why would I need GPS inside a steel building. :)

I did find something interesting. when I uploaded the last time. I didn't take all the way. and now everytime I do a hard reset or load a rom. it asks me if I want to install garmin. Makes the install real easy. :) Not sure why it asks on each install but I like it. I am guessing cause the install is on the storage card.

Re: Garmin GPS.......
 

This is because Garmin puts an autorun file in the "2577" folder on your storage card. Anything in this folder gets autorun at startup - if you delete this file from that folder, this won't happen.

Re: Garmin GPS.......
 

ha.. you go ahead.. i'll wait here.. :P

Re: Garmin GPS.......
 

Right? Na for real I've had it in for a day now and my clock is fine. Come on install it, All your friends are doing it...... Ha
Any one else? I'm not having any issues with it. My clock has not changed one time. I'm trying to duplicate it but its standing true at the right time.

Re: Garmin GPS.......
 

my clock was fine last night, changed again today on the road, 7:00

sucks because I really like to arrival time feature

Re: Garmin GPS.......
 

Has anyone managed to get this working so the voice directions play through a BT headset?I was really hoping this would work so I could hear the directions over my Bt when I am on my motorcycle.

So if I uninstall the autorun from the 2577 folder it will stop the annoying pop up that asks me if I want to start XT everytime I reinsert my card.Very nice this was getting a little annoying last night.

Re: Garmin GPS.......
 

Damn... nice 'yelling'... watch out for that 'thanks' button in his siggy :)

Re: Garmin GPS.......
 

Ok fine. I can't repeat my find from yesterday. I tried today and it's been on for 5 min already without it telling me it can't find a signal nor without it switching to night mode. Which is when it changes the time.

https://buy.garmin.com/shop/store/do...=138&pID=11413
has all three files.

For some reason the link enthf406 provided won't allow you to click on the links to back up.

Here is the info on the upgrade.

Changes made from version 4.20.20w to 4.20.40w:

• Provide additional error checking to detect corrupted NMEA input from third party GPS receivers.
• Provide increased voice prompt volume for smartphone devices.
• Provide additional coordinate location formats when selecting Where To -> Coordinates.
• Modify map drawing settings to improve the map drawing speed.
• Correct text translations (Dutch).

Re: Garmin GPS.......
 

So what your saying is the clock is fine? Also the links from enthf406 work fine. I just checked them in post #1 and in his post. Thats funny you gave upgrade info from 4.20.20 to 4.20.40... What happened to 4.20.30? I know there where changers in that one. Shouldn't you have went 4.20.20,4.20.30,4.20.40?

As much as it sucks it has to be done...Do you know how old it gets with all the PM's because clowns are to lazy to search for themselves and fine things/answers? I have to shut my PM's off ever once in a while because of Lazy people asking stupid questions. Gets old.....
Another reason When people start telling people how to patch/crack it brings heat down on the site. Eg: Palm threaded messaging. Palm was cruzin around and found Their application cracked to work on WM phones and they didn't dig that. They asked for it to be removed and you know it was and has/will never be posted again. Lots of people from lots of businesses follow these threads. I wouldn't be surprised if people from Sprint,Palm,Garmin,and other software companies brows this site to see how people like there product and learn about bugs.

Re: Garmin GPS.......
 

4.20.40 still changes my clock, too.

Re: Garmin GPS.......
 

Wow No ****? Let me know how/what you did so I can try to replicate it on mine because I have had no problems.

Re: Garmin GPS.......
 

Same as always - try to get a signal when inside (or when it hasn't locked on outside) and boom - time/date change to 4/26/08 at 8:00pm. There has got to be something in a file or reg setting that has that date and time hardcoded, or it wouldn't be the same every time it happens.

Re: Garmin GPS.......
 

I have to ask man sorry. Are you sure your using 4.20.40 and not the .30? Maybe for ****s and giggles you should hit the -settings-about just be be sure. I only ask this because I installed 2.40.40 on my wifes and my 6800 and we haven't had any issues indoor/outdoor. Again sorry man not saying your a noob but we all slip occasionally. Last night I got scared and thought it changed my time to 8: but it really was 8:00.


Off topic: As soon as I put 4.20.40 in my 6800 I stared getting the loud beep when hitting send on a call. All downhill from that. I guess its time for a hard reset.

Re: Garmin GPS.......
 

Mine just did the same thing! I wondered why my date/time was changed to 4/26/08 at 8:00pm? Now I know!

Strange...

Re: Garmin GPS.......
 

Uh, yeah bro. I didn't just fall off the turnip truck :P . In fact, I never installed .30. I went from .20 to .40. They all have the issue. It sounds like it might be more pronounced on the Touch for some reason.

Re: Garmin GPS.......
 

Had to ask. Ya man its all your Touches fault. You should talk to a guy named riironman. It took a while but he got it running on his touch maybe he'll be able to tell ya how, and I know a few different people run it on the touch also.
I think it has something to do with the rom your running. Like when the leaked rom for the 6800 came out I had issues with it. I bet when you get your official Sprint update all will be fine.

Re: Garmin GPS.......
 

Heck. I don't know what happened the to other upgrade info. I guess garmin didn't post anything. strange. Here is the link to the upgrade info. here

Both the post I gave and the one enthf406 gave will get the update. But if you goto the site he gave here and then click on the hot link Garmin Mobile XT for Windows Mobile then you get a "The page you're looking for doesn't exist or is temporarily unavailable." But if you visit the link I provided here then whomever has access to all 3 garmin files they need. I guess I added to link so that people can just click to get what they need instead of posting something saying they don't want to read 200+ comment. haha

Ok here we go.

soft reset
run garmin (inside steel building)

within 1 min of activation I get a message.
"sunset, switching to night mode."
shortly after that voice keeps saying
lost sat reception

I would say that once it says switching to night mode. It has changed your clock.

and to ease your mind I will post my settings-about screen

Garmin Mobile XT
Version 4.20.40wp

visit............

I have been able to successfully do this 2 times in a row now after changing the time back to current.

Re: Garmin GPS.......
 

Check in:
4.20.40 Still hasn't changed my clock. 3 Days later still running good.

Right on...
Man sucks about your clock...........
I cant make mine change to 8:00......

Re: Garmin GPS.......
 

It does suck but not a realy big deal for me. If I plan on using a gps, I have my garmin zumo I would take with me. But having this as a back up is a great plan. Or if I end up needing it and not having my zumo. So really having to change my clock back isn't too much of a hassle. But as I said, I seem to only have the problem with a loss of signal. If you don't have a loss of signal, maybe you will never have this problem. try sticking your phone inside a steel box you make just for testing. haha.
