Garmin Mobile XT is one of wonderful handy application to GPS enabled mobile phone, especially for Symbian 60 series and Windows Mobile. When I first get my Samsung Omnia phone, it was nothing than only with a small bunch of basic Windows Mobile application. So I decide to install this one, Garmin Mobile XT since I really need this to travel up down left and right. The best part is, it’s FREE and no data consumption.
Have no intention of sending the phone to phone shop for GPS installation, I decided to try on my own. Here are steps what I did and posted here will maybe be my reference in future time. At first, let’s have a look on what we can do with Garmin Mobile XT:
Listed here are what needed to install Garmin Mobile XT to Windows Mobile Phone:
- GPS Navigation Enabled Phone, in my case, I’m using Samsung Omnia.
- A Windows computer with Microsoft ActiveSync installed (Download ActiveSynce if you don’t have one).
- USB Cable to connect phone with the computer
- Garmin Mobile XT application (available to download at Garmin site)
Installing Garmin Mobile XT
First off, there are three (3) main downloads needed to perform the operation. Download all these application.
- Garmin Mobile XT : Download
- Garmin Mobile XT Support Files : Download
- Garmin Mobile XT Free Basemap : Download
Connect your device to the computer using the USB cable. Make sure that you are connected via Microsoft ActiveSync. Download all the above files to your computer, double click the file, install, and choose the installation location to your mobile phone. In my case, I choose to install to “My Storage”, and the installation directory will look like this:
My Storage\Garmin\
Finish up the installation. Install all three Garmin Mobile XT, Support files and Free basemap one by one with the same procedure. Disconnect your mobile phone from the PC and see your mobile phone for new application installation process.
Adding GPS Map files to your Garmin Mobile XT
Now that we’re all set with the application, it’s time to install GPS map files to your mobile phone. In my case, I use MalsingMaps Malaysia and Singapore map. You need to download the installer files to your PC first, and it is available here:
- MalsingMaps Malaysia and Singapore map (MFM) : Download (at the moment: MFM v1.60)
- MelsingMaps Malaysia and Singapore Topo map (MFM-SRTM) : Download (at the moment: MFM-SRTM v1.02)
Now that you’ve downloaded both these files. Reconnect your mobile phone back to your PC with USB cable. This time, I will not going to connect my phone via ‘ActiveSync’, but connect via ‘Mass Storage’. On your mobile phone, go ‘Start > Settings > Connection > USB connection’ and choose ‘Mass Storage’. Now connect it to the computer.
Open up the downloaded files on your PC by double clicking the MFM map installer file. Follow the installation guide here. Repeat the installation process to MFM-SRTM topo map.
Now that all set and you are ready to go!
Additional For Testing Purpose : Keygen
Garmin Mobile XT is not free, it comes with 15 days trial. There is a keygen available by searching to Google, Aand here’s how to crack them up. Take note that please support the original one, since updates will becoming more handy.
- Upon exploring ‘File Explorer’ at your mobile phone, go to the partition you’ve installed Garmin Mobile XT, and you’ll find the folder “2577″. Delete
Downloadthe folder. - Run you Garmin Mobile XT application, go to ” Tools > Settings > About “.
- Copy all the information, ID numbers anywhere on a paper.
- Run IMEI to UnitID Converter v1.0,
Use CardID as your IMEI if you are using Windows Mobile phone.Find your IMEI and use it. - Generate your UnitID
- Run Garmin Keygen 1.5 , paste out the UnitID there and click ‘generate’.
- You will be given a software unlock code. Copy the code number.
- Run notepad, paste down the code, and save the file as SW.UNL (not SW.UNL.txt)
- Connect your PC with your mobile phone and copy the SW.UNL file to root directory where you install Garmin. In my case, ‘ “My Storage”/ ‘
- Restart your Garmin Mobile XT. Done.

@ivan lim : the method is just the same with mine. only the software of Garmin Mobile XT is different. Yours is Garmin Mobile XT for Symbian.
Download : http://www8.garmin.com/support/collection.jsp?product=010-11034-00
The installation is just the same like what i did.

hi bro, i really need help, my IMEI to UnitID Converter v1.0 is not working, it keep saying that i enter a invalid imei….. which i already tried using my card id and my imei id but it still fails to work….i am using a hp ipaq 612c with windows mobile 6.1
-
It’s working. Try to find your IMEI by *#06# (if avail) and use it to generate UnitID. Remove 2 unit at the last of the number if your IMEI got more number that what requested, and just try to get the UnitID.

hi, i have installed garmin mobile xt but on front page its no signal?
-
-
It’s normal. Your either in poor satellite reception or still waiting for the satellite to reach you. Have a wait for some time, or go outside from your house to get better signal

great guide on how to install Garmin Mobile XT on our Windows Mobile phones. i decided to include some of the comments as they might be useful to some of us. article stolen from Hanep.org.
ctrl+v 
I have visited the garmin website for downlaod for my windows mobile but the download area says that this is for the update for the previously installed software. Where can i get the basic installation files? Can i use this same file for installation without any ealier version installed?
head to Garmin Website and proceed to download the garmin mobile xt. then follow with downloads of support and basemap from the links here.
thanks for sharing, looking for that since hours, great
When you first start mobile xt, you have 5 options i think to register the program. Choose the last one (with garmin GPS unit i think) and the program will start searching. Then you can skip it and you are in the software garmin XT. Then just find inside the option “ABOUT” where is your unit ID, Card ID…
Hope it help
Oh. this is a good post.
thanks for sharing.

i installed garmin xt, then tried freebasemap, at the end of copying files came out error…cannot find autorun. i have deleted that as per ur instruction.?

hi guys, i really need help: iM trying install the garmin in my samsung omnia pro (windows mobile 6.1) following all the procedures you say in this website, but I’m still getting the page to buy, or use trial or enter a code when start the garmin. Someone could help me? Thanks. Thigo
have u pasted sw.unl at garmin installation folder?
Hello, i want to ask, in garmin unlock generator v1.5 there’s a select map product to unlock, how to use it? thank you, for reply
Hello, i already paste sw.unl, why still appear that said pucahase , enter key, etc ?? PLz..
the device ID number is incorrect i guess. the sw.unl is the license file.
I have the same problem. Is it because I have other things on my memory card?
i’m having the same problem too.. plus,my phone keep scanning bluetooth device wft… grrr
actually i can extract the freebasemap and 1 of the file, but during installation, it said “Autorun.exe” not found
im not sure how to help u on this. mine went through smoothly. perhaps this could be the issue of directory. where did u store the basemap? the garmin folder on the phone should be in root folder of device or storage card.
where i can download free map all countries?
all countries? not sure. mine is only for malaysia and singapore.
I even cant find 2577.
i dint use the Microsoft ActiveSync at the beggining.
when i check the IMEI in the ABOUT.it is same as wat i generate in the converter.LOL…how come ya?
I like to know where can i download Thailand Map for Garmin Xt.
thanks in advance if anyone can help me on this.
I installed as instructed above, but when i start the Garmin Xt it asks to connect to a Garmin GPS receiver and it asks me to power on the GPS device.
Well i dont have the GPS device.
I used Papago before on this device did not have any problems with it.
I like to use Garmin so please let me know what am i doing wrong here.
I am new to Garmin XT.
Thanks Folks.
Rony

Hi,
i tried to install Garmin Mobile XT in my Samsung OMNIA. Downloaded all the files but can’t run it on my phone, “there was an error installing Garmin Mobile XT files. Please make sure no other programs are running, and there is enough storage in your device’s main memory.”
I did fresh install and delete some files in my memory but seems to fail. Any ideas, and how many MB Garmin used in main memory??
Thanks
check ur main memory. garmin is installed at phone root folder in which only have about 100Mb. maybe other programs have filled ur main storage memory there..
i have done all the step nut how can i get the program to use my internal gps
thz in adv!
if installation is done, then u can just start the garmin program via ur program menu. err do i get ur question wrongly?
