Sorry to say, I have yet to get Garmin, TomTom, Route 66, and a few others to work, but I am going to try again now that I have unlocked it and will let you know how that goes.

On that note Google and Windows live do work as well as GPSed (which didn't find gps before unlocking, needs data to check subscription I think otherwise no data, but no maps either) work, but with a data plan.

pocket Streets and trips 2006 will now run on my unlocked device but can't find the gps device. I installed 2006 on the jack, and 2009 and 2004 on my pc, copied the map data from 2009 to 2004 to export "new" maps to PPC. Sounds complicated but its easy. So I can see maps but still no gps

Unfortunately I lost my Excalibur...:(
I bought a Samsung i617... just to have sth. similar but cheaper than my Excalibur.
Manual and seller said it had no gps features, but accidentally found a forum saying it has... and should be activated with the proper software.
I downloaded Garmin XT for WM, and followed instructions from a tutorial (google "i617" and "Gps" "activation"), most of the hits have links to download the right apps.;)
