[RELEASE] Garmin City Navigator North America NT 2010 w/ MapSource 6137

[ebuzz]

OK, well, I managed to install this on my TP, but I'm sort of stuck at this point:
"11. After bootup run GarminMobileXT on your phone.
12. Eventually, after several user prompts, you will see two lines of unit numbers and something else, it eludes me right now. Anyway one is the id of your phone and the other is the id of your sd card. You might have to run both sets of numbers to get the unit id right. But in most cases, after you have done this once, you can transfer the card to another phone and just launch the garmin.exe file and install. (FYI the garmin software uses the SD card info to register not the phone. Thats who they can ship their package on a card for your phone and charge you extra for the card)"
The software did not actually install anything on the phone, its all on the card. So to run the GarminMobileXT I had to navigate to the card and run the "QuePPC" file. That took me to a startup screen where I could try for free, enter a key and a few other things. But I did not see the user prompts u speak of or the unit ID #s.
It did ask me to connect to a Garmin GPS then scanned bluetooth but nothinb happend. There were 2 .cab files on the card, but when I tried to run them it said that the previous version had to be removed, ect.
Am I getting close?

Kinda. I saw on other boards were people don't have teh garmin mobile xt.exe shortcut on the root of thier storage card.

yes installing on the sd card is correct.

you should have two folders and one garmin .exe shortcut on the root of the sd. like in the screen shot.

all you should have to do at most is launch the shorcut.

anyway, the queppc.cab is the same thing.

as i mentioned earlier run google maps first and emable the gps.
leave it running and launch garmin. don't worry about the bluetooth notifications. garmin on its own doesn't see the gps without it being activated teh first time, then it's all good.

during the install go ahead with the "test" version.

eventually you should see a screen with a bunch of info. the unit id is in small text.

honestly i've never had this much trouble of installing garmin. it sounds like your missing a step in the process. without sitting down with your computer and TP it's kinda hard to see what your doing or how to help. the only other way i can think of helping is if you post screen shots every time the screen changes during the install process so we can see what you are doing.

 

[sdwyz74]

can you not read? it says in first post screen shots were off a touch pro...so cmon cmon READ!

not sure if the come on read is for me but i'm aware that this app is for the TP maybe i did a miss post or something but i'm just trying to get a working gps thats all and everytime i use one of the links it gives me an error i even turned off my firewall and tried from my 2 PC and my bro's laptop anyway did a torrent search on google and keep coming up with the europe maps but thanks for the help

the blue part that says "this link" in my post above yours has the like to rapidshare for the garmin xt software for your phone. NOT the maps.

thank you and understood it's just when i click on the link it gives me an error ? dont know some other peeps here said it might be on my end PC wise but i tried from 3 PC's ? so i'll keep knocking at the door and hopefully i'll get in!

I know, its getting close to being more trouble than its worth, and I do appreciate your help and patience. Here's what I got. I did see the GarminXT file in the root of my card and I was mistaken before b/c there is a Garmin XT icon on my phone, so I can run it from there. When I do, however, I get a basic menu giving me 4 options: 1) purchase and go
2) Begin Free trial
3) Enter product key
4) connect to a Garmin GPS.
If I select either 1 or 2, i get a msg saying "connecting to Garmin to being trial period" then immediately after another msg saying "server could not process request, contact customer support."
If is selct 4 it scans for bluetooth and stalls (and I do have Google GPS running)
If i select 3, it asks for the #, which I cant put in w/o the Unit ID.
Am I still Kinda close?

thank you and understood it's just when i click on the link it gives me an error ?

when you first launch the app does the app have a "prompt" asking if you want to connect to teh garmin server or never? if so select never.

anyway, this weekend or sooner, depends on what i'm doing, tomorrow night I'm off to Holando for diner, i'll run this on my wife's TP. I've personally ran this 4 times and never had the trouble you've had. its "odd" to say the least. and frustrating. can you drive down to orlando?? i can fix it there.

ok, i went off deep into the net, probubally somewhere i shouldn't be and found this

I have been working with this for a few days now and I am still not able to get it to work, I have tried every ID that I wrote down, I created the SW.UNL file and out it in the Garmin folder on my SD card but it's still not working, it takes me back to the screen with the 4 options, I am trying to install on the Touch Pro, has anyone had any luck and can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

How about following this :
1. position your mouse anywhere on your screen,
2. right click
3. Select 'New' 'Text Document'
4. copy & paste the 25 char unlock code generated
5. Select 'File' 'Save As'
6. Under 'save as type' select 'All Files (*.*)'
7. Type into 'File name' with 'sw.unl'

Just to relate my experience when I create the SW.UNL file for my symbian phone.
Somehow just saving the edited file as default 'new text document.txt' and then renaming the file to 'SW.UNL' doesnt work for me.

Tetra speaks the truth bro. I also had a hiccup in creating my sw.unl file . I did exactly what he said and VOILA! it works. : ) anyways , I have a touch pro so I know it will work for you also.

don't forget this either




22. choose the bottom one (last one, the 4th), "use garmin bt devices"
23. select AGREE on the warning bla bla.
24. if there is prompt to search Bluetooth GPS device and ask you to go or stop. just click STOP (no need to search at this moment).
25. On the main screen see bottom and click "SETTINGS"
26. On the next screen see bottom right and click "DOWN ARROW"
27. You will see "ABOUT" click it.
28. You will see: "ESN ID" or "UNIT ID" or "CARD ID"
29. Write all of them in the piece of paper. double check it. don't miss one word.
30. click BACK and BACK again. and click EXIT.

--------- New Post Merged on 18/8/2009 at 10:29:13 --------

meaning when asked choose the 4th option

--------- New Post Merged on 18/8/2009 at 10:47:46 --------

i just installed this to a stock TP.
1. when asked choose the 4th option, or connect to a garmin gps. it will not find anything and end the serch.
2. goto teh main "where to screen"
3. then goto tools
4. go to settings
5. down arrow to about
6. select about adn there is the device id and card id.
7. write down the card id.
8. unplug your phone and close the garmin app.
9. run the kg copy and paste into a text document the save as sw.unl.9DO NOT CLOSE THE KEYG#N!!!!!) make sure it's not a .txt. document. as you save it there is an option for *.* or all files. it will save it as a .unl file.
10. save the .unl file in the garmin folder on the sd card.
11. restart garmin and it should go straight to the where to screen.
12. now run the key#$# to get your map serial

like i said i ran and istalled this as i wrote this part of the post.

 

[ebuzz]

OK, now, I feel I am getting "kinda close." This worked up to a point, when I saved the file as the .unl and restated Garmin it did take me to the "Were to" screen, I ran the key gen for the maps choosing "garmin City navigator 2009" I wrote done the #, but could not see anywhere to enter the # until I went to "garmin online > subscription status." There I clicked "activate" where I was prompted for the "Activation Key." I tried both #s (map unlock code and unit software unlock code). Is that the right thing to do? I guess I can keep trying to generate #s, but want to make sure that's correct.

don't goto garmin online that part does not work for the fix we/you are using.

can you post some screen shots??

lastly did you follow the steps in blue above your post. i did a clean install last night on a stock TP

 

[ebuzz]

11. restart garmin and it should go straight to the where to screen.
12. now run the key#$# to get your map serial

Yes, I followed the blue steps to this point. After I restarted Garmin it took me to the "where to" screen. From there IDK where to put in the map serial #. It seems that the only place is at "garmin online > subscription status" but u say not to do that. I haven't figure out how to do screen shots yet (never really used that) so it may take me a few mins to figure that out.
Where do you put in the map serial # and which map do you select? The first post says this is Garmin 2010 but the choices in the keygen are only to 2009.

the map serial is named"gmapsupp.unl" make sure the .txt extension change to .unl

it goes in the "STORAGE CARD" and find GARMIN FOLDER. put the file "gmapsupp.unl" there along with your country map (gmapsupp.img).

OK so I pasted 2 files into the Gamin folder on my card: the "SW.unl" with the Software # and the other the "gmapsupp.unl" with the map # I generated; there is a "gmaelboriyorkermap.img" (10.0MB) file there already. When I try to go to an address I get a msg that "detailed maps are required to use this feature. Visit Garmin tech support..."
How close am I now? and I owe u a beer!

aaaaaaaaaaaahahahaha you need to install the maps, the basemap was just a placeholder.

I thought I did unlock the maps. I unzip both the files from the opening post and the ones in the link u sent. I saw a file called "garminMobileXTFreeBaseMap.exe" that I installed to my card. Are there other map files? If so, what are they called?

 

[sdwyz74]

well you gave me the direct links and still no go one takes me back to rapidshare and the other is wants me to join some free 14 day trial and we know how those go anyway i also ran a google search for the north american maps everything wants me to join or it's on rapidshare and the links just wont work anyway i think i figured out the problem as i am going threw my sprint phone as my connection and maybe it's not enough band width ? please help as i am leaving today so i will bestopping at as many as wifi hotspots as possible thank you all Hulk!

so you mean you installed the unlocked map from linksave links? if so then your good on the maps. the freebase map is again a place holder and doesn't do anything but allow the program to run.

well you gave me the direct links and still no go one takes me back to rapidshare

it's supposed to. the files are hosted on rapidshare, where you need to download them from.

and the other is wants me to join some free 14 day trial

in the middle of the screen is an "anti spam" number you have to enter into the text box to get to the rapidshare links.

i also ran a google search for the north american maps everything wants me to join or it's on rapidshare and the links just wont work

ok, thats what it's suppposed to do, it's pretty much normal

anyway i think i figured out the problem as i am going threw my sprint phone as my connection and maybe it's not enough band width ?

dude, seriously....................are you kidding????............ the map file is at least 1gb and usually split into 200mb files, your phone CAN'T handle files that large. why don't you use a computer?????? i'm confused as to why you would want to do that.....................I got nothin for that.

please help as i am leaving today so i will bestopping at as many as wifi hotspots as possible thank you all Hulk!

good luck with that.

i meant for the initial install process. i ran into a "hicup" where my phone was banned from the garmin server during the install cause i messed up the setup. seeing as how some of the users are having issues with the install i figured i'd help them aviod making the same mistakes i've made.

so you mean you installed the unlocked map from linksave links? if so then your good on the maps. the freebase map is again a place holder and doesn't do anything but allow the program to run.

Damn, now I'm not really sure what the hell I unlocked or if I unlocked anything. This has become the installing from HELL!. I do have "locked" maps on my pc. Instruction #8 in the first post says to run mapinstall and to select all states and provinces. I finally figured out where that was and I went there and the software found my TP and storage card. There it says "City Navigator North America NT 2010.1, and says to click on map region to install it, but when I click on a state, nothing happens.

ok, hahaha. kaos uploaded the basemaps and the 2010 updates. which i assume by your post. when you highlight the state or region you want there is a transfer function, i'm in the process of installing my apps from a win 7 upgrade and i have not got to the garmin install yet. SO, give me a day to install it. and run through the install process again. but. the linksave i keep trumping up is unlocked and you don't need to to anything but transfer the the file to your sd. but it's 1gb and you need to have a large sd card. i don't think you ever mentioned the size of your card, and i don't think i've asked. personally, i have a 16gb with 12gb free. yea, i pretty much save ppc stuff. sometimes to a fault. but i digress. give me a day and i'll get back to you, unless kaos can jump in and give you the answer....

Ahhh, I too have a 16 gig card with lots of free space, but don't know what u mean about the linksave. I dont think I have seen that in anything I downloaded. Where do I get that?

fyi, this is NOT a spam site. to keep your uploads from being reported and removed from rapidshare, or for that matter any upload site, people use "protection" sites. linksave is that kind of site. goto the link and you'll see a text box in the middle of the screen with "password" above it. enter the text in the box and click next. the next page is rapid share links. i think there's 10 links total. once you download all the links un-rar them and you'll have a 1gb or so entire usa map file which you drop into the garmin folder as your map. just copy and paste.
