Garmin xt for wm5 works with Nuvi sd maps

[gagobaa]

I have garmin xt working on my artemis but it needs a genuine garmin gps10 bluetooth aerial to work.
is there any way of getting garmin to connect with the built in gps......
ps how do you copy garmin sd card maps..after copying all the files from one sd card to another the unit miraculously recognises it as a copy ?????

The problem with Garmin programs is that they look for Garmin formatted data stream from the GPS. The Artemis GPS provides a standard NMEA data stream. The only way to make Garmin work is to install a GPS port translation program, like GPSGate. It allows to direct the GPS output to a port the Garmin software will see and translate it to Garmin format. There is a freeware program that does the same, but at the moment I don't remember the name

I used garmin 2.90 with GPSgate and internal GPS, but I wasn't able to do it with XT, I wish there is a way, but I'm not sure GPSgate can do it. Because as far as I know, GPSgate creates a virtual port for garmin with the secret no. that your gps sends to your device, but that's not possible with XT because it does not give you the option to change ports, it automatically searches your bluetooth port.
