I tried and tried to get the Garmin XT to work, but always ran into problems with activating the maps. Anybody know of a detailed turn-by-turn set of instructions for Garmin?

Make sure that you have the newest version I had a problem using a older version of Garmin.

Is there a way to just get OHIO maps for the Garmin XT?

I like it MUCH better than GPS Viewer and it functions the same way (as a GPS locator/primer) with some extra benefits.
Check it out! Best thing of all, it's free!

I'm having trouble connecting. I flashed my Vogue to Cricket Wireless and they use a proxy server through port 8080. I emailed the company and asked if there was a way around this. No luck so far.....

I found one that is FREE and gives you voice to text. It is called Nav4All.

Check it out, I love it.

All you have to do is start Garmin Mapsource on your PC and then choose the areas you would like on your phone.Then select the option to transfer the maps to your phone through the App.

To be honest, we never really tested GPSToday to function with a proxy server. (To be fair, you are the first user who has asked despite thousands of users since launch) .

If its not working for you, it means GPSToday doesn't support it yet. We will try to get this into version 1.0, and we will let you know as soon as its out.

Thanks!

How is it covered in your Sprint plan? (Do you have the full $30/month powervision plan?)
Do you have a link to the cab file you're using?

here is the cab for sprint navigation, you have to have this under your plan to work, its included in the $30/month plan. works pretty good for me, once i get the gps to lock.
