Installation
*Before I begin, let me highlight some problems i encounter when i installed garmin on my phone. It just wont install (expired certificate). If you encounter such problem, no fear, its a firmware bug. all u need to do is back up
ur phone to
ur sd card, and do a hard reset (enter *#7370* and enter lock code). After hard reset, you will be able to install.
STEP 1: Connect your phone to PC via Data Cable in Mass Storage Mode
STEP 2: Run the GarminMobileXTforSymbianS603rdEdition_50050.exe you downloaded earlier. Select the ‘Mass Storage Device’ which is your memory card in your phone.
STEP 3: Run the GarminMobileXTSupportFiles_4xxxx.exe you downloaded earlier.
STEP 4: Copy the map file gmapsupp.img you downloaded earlier into your phone, under the directory 'x:\garmin\’ where ‘x’ is the drive of your Mass Storage Device (your memory card in your phone)
STEP 5: Using the safely remove device function of your PC, remove the data cables.
STEP 6: Run the File Manager application in your phone
STEP 7: Scroll to ‘E: Memory card’ and scroll down. Run the GarminMobileXT.sis file. This will install Garmin on your phone. note, this is where i encountered the ‘expired certificate’ error. If you do not encounter this, ignore this line. If you do, do the hard reset.
STEP 8: Run GMobileXT from Apps.
STEP 9: This is where you see the Garmin Spash Screen, and select Agree
