i noticed something strange.
"Hong Kong" does not exists when you try to type in the city name, but it shows up on the global map.
anyone else notice this?

Im in the same boat. I downloaded an image of the software and another version with "extras" but the instructions are horrible.

This is driving me nuts. I have read, re-read and read again.

Damn you ADD for clouding my thoughts.......

If anybody would PM me on this matter, I would very much appreciate it!

I do own a garmin nuvi 670. can this be used to help my cause of getting it to work on my vx6800?

I had the same problem in the states. It was fixed by adding a detailed map of the area. For you ie: Hong Kong.

What problems are you having? So you have the Garmin app installed and cant install maps?

I cant get the program to see the internal gps. I get the same message as the guy above me. Can I use my nuvi to get software from it and or maps?
The program I downloaded was supposed to be an image, and it includes windows as well as palm software.

I so badly want this to work, and I am the guinea pig when it comes to trying new things.

So if its not registered, how can I register it? I have a KG, but it wants a code from my memory card. I am using a generic 4GB card, so I dont think I have what it wants. Is there a universal number I can enter?

First Id say to just download software for your PPC. Im not sure but maybe your trying to use a Palm app on your PPC?

I have the software installed and running on my ppc. It only searches for the GPS on bluetooth. When I go into setting/system and hit remote gps, it goes right back to scanning bluetooth. I have no option to tell it to look for the internal GPS. If I hit cancel, it tells me connection allowed to garmin gps device only.

What am I missing?? I was never asked to activate, or enter in any keys or anything. I clicked setup, and it ran the program from my desktop. A few minutes later, my ppc asked if I wanted to install it on there.

i do have the detalied map of hong kong loaded.
also, it doesnt seem to matter if you have a detailed map of a city loaded. I can do a search for cities where i don't have a detailed map, and it will show up on my global map (without the city details).

Does the mogul use satellites for GPS or the sprint data connection? The reason I'm asking is I'm wondering if I drive somewhere and I lose my Sprint service whether I will lose my GPS tracking or if it just goes off satellite and I'm good no matter what.
