6800 Garmin GPS....... - Page 16

Buggy222 · #**151** (**permalink**) 04-12-2008, 01:22 AM

I have run Garmin Mobile XT on my 6800 since the 3.16 rom came out. I am now running the latest rom. I used it in Europe recently. It takes longer to get a fix, but otherwise works great. The only problem I am having is that my POI's willl not play the alert or MP3 sound. I am placing both the bitmap and the MP3 in the folder with the CSV file. The names are identical. The POI loader picks up the Icon ok, but I just get a "hiss" sound, as if the Mogul is trying to play the MP3 but cannot.

Any ideas out there? Thanks

Thats in a post a few back (Post #112). If you have 4.20.30 installed thats what sends your clock to 8pm at 3am and all kinds of crazy.

Great thread.. thanks for the heads up on this.. downloaded and installed everything successfully.
Using the 'Intermediate GPS driver', and it hooks into several sats rather quickly. So i'm stoked it's got it's own built-in primer. Happy to see i don't need to fire up Holux first!

also using the latest 4.20.30, and havent experienced any clock issues (No2Chem 5054 ROM).... YMMV.

downloading 2009NT Update right now. do i need the base 2008 maps first ? or is the 2009 a straight install...

No, you do not need 2008 installed to get 2009 to work. However you will need to unlock using the 2009 map ID instead of the 2008 map ID. I just installed eveything last night on my mogul and also my stand alone zumo 550.

I do have one question. Is there something we need to do to get the map to dispay when first uploaded? On my show map screen I kept seeing no map. But it would tell me where I was and what was around me. I ended up getting it to display after I made it route to a specific location. After doing this it loaded to map.

Also about voice with street names. I was poking around a lot last night and found that garmin uses 2 different voice files. Standard voices (english) and TTS (text to speach) voices like Jack and Jill. The only was we are ever going to get street names to work is if we can use a TTS voice instead of the standard voices which is just a bunch of wav files saying "left" "right" "straight"... So the problem is what I was thinking. It has nothing to do the mapset we are using. It has to do with the software running the GPS and it's ability to read the TTS voices. I have all the voices on my zumo and I transfered jill TTS to the voice folder on the mogul but when I check audible in the zumo it is not an option.

i tried this too, as well as pulling the vehicle file from my nuvi and putting it in the xt folder on the mogul. could not get them to work either.

I just bought the mobile xt. I have a holux m1000. everything installed fine and the gps is connecting with xv6700 (can tell using different software), but when I go to set up garmin with the gps, it never finds it? How long does it usually take and is there something special I need to do?

adding the basemap from garmin.com fixed the problem. As pointed out earlier. There is an update... if you haven't done so. Here is the current version. Garmin Mobile XT for Windows Mobile Ver. 4.20.30w as of Mar 14, 2008 and the basemap is Garmin Mobile XT Free Basemap Ver. 4.xx.xx as of Apr 19, 2007. you can find both of these on the garmin web site.

I had a link to the update for 4.20.30 in the first post for a while but everyone is having problems with it so I removed it as not to mess cats GPS up untill the bugs are gone from it. I know yous guys say its working now but give it a while.
Use 4.20.30 at own risk.Ha..................................
