This information is provided as is for informational purposes only. I take no responsibility for any of your actions or consequences as a result of using this guide.

For those who used Nokia phones with Symbian S60 3rd Edition and wanted to save RM80 just follow these few steps…

BACKUP YOUR PHONE

  1. you can do this by using Nokia OVI SUITES
  2. once you have done your backup.. keep it safely

PREPARE THE INSTALLATION FILES

  1. Firstly you need to buy the Garmin Mobile XT from the Garmin distributors. I saw one at Low Yat Plaza. We support only original Garmin from authorised distributors.
  2. If you don’t have money to buy,  you can download the installation files. Where to download? I also don’t know where to download….
  3. Once you have downloaded, unzip it.

INSTALLATION STARTS HERE

  1. connect your phone from the USB connection via ‘Mass storage mode’
  2. From your PC, install “GarminMobileXTforSymbianS603rdEdition_50050.exe” then follow the steps until finish.
  3. once finished step 2… continue with “GarminMobileXTFreeBasemap_4xxxx.exe”
  4. then follow with “GarminMobileXTSupportFiles_4xxxx.exe”
  5. Remove USB connection between PC and phone. When your phone prompted ‘Launch GarminXT’,  just Cancel. Don’t and don’t click ‘yes
  6. From your phone, go to Menu > Settings > Application Manager > Installation files. Install GarminXT.sis file.

CONFIGURING GARMIN XT

  1. These steps for those who has no money. For those with a lot of money don’t follow these steps.
  2. Run GarminXT from your phone at Menu > Application > Garmin. Please follow the sequence and select your preferable.
  3. When prompted to “buy” or “Trial”, select the far bottom options “Connect to a Garmin GPS” or in some cases select “Use other device” then you will get “Where To?” and “View map” screen.
  4. In GarminXT, go to Tools > Settings > About.Write down the  “Card ID”, and  Exit GarminXT
  5. From your PC, (don’t connect the USB to your phone),  run “garmin_k**n.exe” and enter the “Card ID” from previous steps.
  6. Click Generate and copy the codes to Notepad, save it as sw.unl (make sure it is sw.unl and not sw.unl.txt)
  7. Connect back your phone to PC and select “Mass storage mode”.
  8. Copy “sw.unl” to Garmin folder. Usually located at E:/Garmin.
  9. Download the updated maps from http://www.malsingmaps.com or http://www.malfreemaps.com and copy it into Garmin folder. You need to register as member if you want to download the GPS MAP source from www.malsingmaps.com… It is free anyway. Copy the “gmapsupp.img” into the garmin folder.
  10. Disconnect your phone from PC.

FINAL CONFIGURATION

  1. From your phone, Run GarminXT
  2. Go to Tools > Settings > System > Remote GPS. Change to “Use Attached GPS” by disabling the “Bluetooth GPS”.
  3. Go to Tools > Manage My Data > Map Sets > MapSource. Ensure that all maps are enabled.
  4. That’s all folks….

      ITU TIDAK BETUL.
      Garmin takbleh detect position orang tu dengan cara tersebut…
      Tetapi telco boleh buat… saya pernah hilang tepon dan saya call telco saya dan dia sahkan last position tepon saya online kat mana….

      xpe la bro..dah dapat dah..tergodeh secara x sengaja..hehe..

      erm, macam ni..kalau x dapat tukar ke full version, caranya mudah je..

      selepas kita copykan sw.unl ke HP, masuk Apps > office > file manager > memory card > garmin > sw.unl..kemudian, klik sw.unl pastu rename balik semula dengan nama sw.unl

      bukan apa, bila kita dah tukar dalam PC, tapi nama fail kadang2 jadi .txt jugak..so, kena rename lagi sekali dalam HP.. selamat mencuba! =)

    salam bro..berdasarkan kepada final config nih:-

    Go to Tools > Settings > System > Remote GPS. Change to “Use Attached GPS” by disabling the “Bluetooth GPS”.

    saya dah ikut segala jenis step yang bro bagitau..tp bila sampai final config, dia x paparkan apa yang sepatutnya bro bagitau..apa yang dia paparkan cuma “Pair New GPS”.

    bila klik, dia suruh ON bluetooth..ada solution x bro selain hantar kedai? hehe..saya guna N97 32gb..

    terima kasih..harap dapat membantu..

      bro… kat Tools > Settings > System > Remote GPS tu… sepatutnya dia paparkan “Use Bluetooth GPS” dan “Use Attached/Built-in GPS”… pas tu kat tengah tu “Pair New GPS”
      pilih “Use Attached/Build-in GPS” pas tu tekan Enable

      yang saya bagi kat situ untuk malaysia,thai,singapore jer…
      kalu nak map euro.. pi cari n install map euro ler… pas tuh save as gmapsupp.img
      kalu nak lagi lazat… buat custom map sendiri guna Garmin MapSource… bubuh ler map satu dunia n combine dalam satu gmapsupp.img file… tapi sendiri mau ingat ler file size dia super besor ler

      no 5. From your PC, (don’t connect the USB to your phone), run “garmin_k**n.exe” and enter the “Card ID” from previous steps.
      dlm zip file tu ada program ni.. so just catit nombor Card ID (dari step 4) dan generate…

      No6. Click Generate and copy the codes to Notepad, save it as sw.unl (make sure it is sw.unl and not sw.unl.txt)
      bila dah generate.. output dia tu.. copy dan paste kan dalam notepad dan save as sw.unl

      signal tu for the first time memang lama…. kekadang tu sampai 30minit untuk connect to satellite….
      cuba click kat satellite icon tu then tengok berapa yang dah connect… biasanya kena connect to 5 or more satellite baru ok

    Hi, i dah install garmin mobilext pada satio u1, masa install garminxt.sis, dia keluar error this application is not applicable for this phone. Tapi saya install juga dan success install tapi awaiting better pgs accuracy lama sangat…more than 30min. Boleh beritahu kenapa?

    1. Kheirul Mohamed Post author

      emm… ada kalanya sesetengah tepon payah nak dapat GPS satellite accuracy dan saya pernah mengalaminya…. dalam 45 minit baru dapat….

      syorkan untuk test kat open area….. dan masa test tu… tengok berapa GPS satellite info tu.. berapa dah sangkut…. paling kurang kena ada lebih kura 5-6 satellite baru ngam….
