Please use normal English punctuation - Periods, Capital Letters, etc. You'll have a MUCH better chance of intelligent responses that way. At a glance, I do not know what you are trying to say - sorry.

2006 - huh?

I believe that Garmin Mobile XT is officially discontinued for WM.

Odds are you're going to get an outdated set of maps.

My message was about purchasing it, which is all that we're allowed to talk about here. I know there are other ways to get Garmin XT on your phone, but there's a pretty strict policy against discussing those methods here. It's not on Garmin's site as a product for WM anymore. As far as I can tell, the product is no longer sold by Garmin or most major resellers. And if you do find someone still selling it, it'll most likely be with outdated maps that you'd need to update separately.

all you have to do is go to garmins site and type in garmin xt. it was last updated for program 5.20W in 08 listed as final version. its still on their site. as for updating maps. they still support it.Its up datable through map source for a fee.so to say its no longer up datable or only able to be done is by illegal means is bull sh!t. you don't know what your talking about.Map source doesn't care what it is as long as its garmin based. xt nuvi what ever map source will update it.

Garmin Mobile XT was a free download on the Garmin websight. I remember downloading it. Then later I downloaded the newer version from Garmin the one with the goolge search integration. It worked with the sd card purchased from Garmin only. It was the SD card that cost money from garmin. This purchased SD card had the maps on it and the maps where some how tied to the serial number of the card so that the Garmin XT program will only work with the SD card purchased from Garmin. Since the program it self was free I see no harm in uploading it here. I will up load it if I can find it.

Kaos Do you mind sharing the link or the cab to the software?

Thanks

The major problem with XT is the fact that to get it to run on your TP2 you have to:

1) Pull the case off
2) Take the back off
3) Pull the MicroSD card that has your programs installed on it
4) Insert the XT card (Don't misplace your other card)
5) Put the back cover on
6) Put the case on

And after you get where you are going, then you have to reverse it to replace your own SC card. If they would put it on a 16 or 32gb card it would be fine, but the biggest (At least when I bought it) was 4gb. I have over 8gbs of music on my card, not to mention the cabs to just about everything I have installed or installed at one time or the other on my 16gb card. I know there is a Hack to make it work on your bigger card, but dang I lost that email that had step by step instructions. Someday I will find the instructions again and put it on my new 32gb card, but until then I will keep using Igo8.
