Anyone using Garmin Mobile XT GPS Software?
 
Looks like a nice piece of software for a good price but it says you have to use the card they ship with it in order for it to work. I'm pretty sure they only ship a 1GB card and I have a bunch of music on my current 4GB card and if I can't play my music on my Bluetooth CD player while navigating it's a deal breaker.

So, if anyone out there uses it...have you been able to copy it to another card and get it working?

I use it and have it installed on a 4gb card. You do not need the entire set of maps only what maps you need to use, so it will fit on a smaller card if need be.

I have a couple of questions:
1 - How much space is the entire USA map set (48 states)?
2 - Did you have to hack or crack the software in order to install it on your own card? I have the same issue - like the software but want to install it on my own card.

TIA,

buy it on the cd and then you can transfer maps to your sd card. don't buy the preprogrammed card, as the maps can't be transferred to another card. or at least I couldn't figure out how to do it and it work.

i used the maps from the cd, it lets you choose sections of the maps and upload onto your own card. I beleive entire north america is a little over 1gb, but not sure as I only use a couple of states (about 100-200 MB).

All I've seen for purchase is the program on the card. I have yet to find one that's on the CD. Can you please let us know where you found it on the CD?

Is that just the maps or is it the mobile software too?
