Thanks to “Toon899″ in the shoutbox, we now know that the latest Symbian version of Garmin Mobile XT (GMXT), version 5.00.30, released recently, now supports the Nokia 5800 running Symbian s60v5 natively, without the need for the VirtualKey software. Damn, looks like the traffic on this site will go down soon, haha…
Download it here, or click here for another mirror. You can, of course, download from the Garmin website, but I have kindly repacked it so that it only contains the necessary files for installation on the 5800. What you need to do (really simple, no need for a detailed tutorial!):
- extract all files and folders from the package onto the root of your memory card. That is, if your memory card is “E” drive, just drag and drop all folders and files in this package on to the E drive, not into any folder, but the “root” directory.
- there is no need to uninstall the current version of GMXT.
- install the latest version of GMXT by tapping on the “GarminMobileXT.sis” file in File Explorer on your phone.
So, all touch functions now work. I haven’t tested extensively, but I think landscape display of the malsingmaps map work as well. Drop a comment if you find any bugs! Sorry, I can’t snap a screenshot in landscape mode, stupid ScreenSnap software!
Ok, thanx

@Maplesyrup, you did those things I said? Tried installing the latest version – 5.00.50? If so, the only thing left to do would be to hard reset your phone, but this would be drastic as you would lose everything and need to restore, which is tremendously painful.
[Reply]
yeah I did everything to install the latest but its did the same thing, tried like 4 other tutorials, when installing it says its incompatable, mean anything? Nah I wont be hard resetting got to much stuff on to do it all again

@anakas, you either have to reset your phone (Google for instructions), or hack your phone, or get your own certificate and sign the installer using this certificate.

@Niel, to see the option you mentioned, you need to “unlock” the software. You either pay for it, or you use Uncle Google

@ed, what’s the error message? Tried hard resetting the phone yet?

Hi Dad,
I just bought my nokia 5800 and install the ver 5.00.30. I’m still new with Garmin. When reach the main page it appear 4 option which are Purchase, Bank/ATM, Enter Postal Code & Connect to GPS. So when I touch connect to GPS and it was searching for GPS device. After > 30mins, still no reaction. So is my GPS malfunction or how long it take to connect to GPS device or am I installing the programme incorrectly?
Did i miss out any step? Do I need to enter the postal code (product code) in order to use? Where can I get the product code for free?
Sorry for asking so many questions. Hope you can guide me thru, tks.

@ST, you need to purchase a license code to use GMXT with internal non-Garmin GPS receivers. Either buy one, or El Goog is your friend!

@entire, what version of GMXT are you installing? It probably doesn’t support touchscreens. You need to find a version that supports touchscreen.

GMXT 5.00.30 ver but the select button works fine juz the next button, fortunately problem solve when i upgrade to ver 5.00.60, the software works fine as well as gps but unfortunately when i save the location at “my location” then when i want to use the location back, and i press it, the program (garmin) shut down and i need to reopen it back. is this related with POI?

@entire, POI? What POI can cause a program to crash? First, try to reset your phone by turning it off then on again. If the problem persists, make sure you are running the latest version of GMXT, and if it still persists, a hard reset may be required.

Don’t know if you can help, but here goes:
nokia 5800, with garmin 5.00.50 installed; maps from europe copied; i can search for addresses and it finds them just fine, but when i go to the map, it says “no map”. the software is hacked, it uses the internal gps … but it doesn’t render any maps. Any idea? (firmware version is v21)

@cosmin, you do have a valid software key to use with GMXT, I presume?
[Reply]
I’m getting the “no map” message displayed on the lower right corner, all I see is a black background and the blue arrow. any ideas
I have hacked the garmin mobile xt 5.00.60 and comes in just fine, I have the sw.unl file and the gmapsupp.unl and the gmapsupp.img that I uploaded to the memory card through mapsource (i have the detail map available on mapsource)
any suggesstions

@Thalion, I presume the map is for the region you are testing?
Also, try standing outside under a clear open sky for some time to get a proper satellite lock.
