Does Garmin Mobile XT SD card work on Diamond

---

I have found many people that say their GMXT works on Diamond but I am not sure if they are using the DVD version or the SD card version. Obviously you would need to do something to get it off ot the SD card but are any of you doing this and if so what do you have to do?

Thanks DHATW.

I quess this is really a software question (was thinking bluetooth=accessory). I will repost in software.

Yes it works, but you have to push the SD-cart really hard to get it in

... but seriously i'm pretty sure, have some downloaded stuff which orginates from a card and its working fine

Thanks, but how do you do it? Garmin says you can't do it. I know it has been done but am looking for the how.

Dude you can download it. But its not free. Although there are always ways. I have it running on mine just fine.

You can download directly from garmin:

But you need license key to activate to use with internal GPS.

Okay maybe I'm misunderstanding something. I have the SD card version running on my HTC Touch right now. I spoke to Garmin and they told me they do not have a solution for the Diamond about a month ago. I have already downloaded 5.00.20 for my Touch. When you do it looks for the SD card on the phone. I am not looking for free software. I just want to know how I can run the existing solution (SD card or purchase DVD) on my next phone (my wife has already let me know I am getting one for Christmas-that's if Rogers ever gets it) the Diamond. I realize there are always ways but I am not one of those guys that believes everything should be free. I just want a reliable, updateable and Garmin supportable version that works.
I know CoPilot 7 has a North American version that is made for the Diamond but I have been a Garmin fan for a long time.

Thanks, DHATW.

works for me

hi

i found a totourial i the net, bought garmin xt for win mobile, and i works
you have to conenct your diamond as external harddisc --> you could install gamin XT
after installation i copyied all files from the SD-card to the storage on diamond
at last you have to generate keys for the internal gps-receiver (and overwrite SWL.UNL and for the serial of the internal storage of your phone

if you look a littel bit around you will find a helpful tool from jet mouse...

andreas

Quite easy

I bought a Diamond Touch with the Garmin XT software. ( And unlock code)
The previous owner hard reset the phone to wipe out his entries,
All I did was sync the phone, copy all the files from the SD card into the expanded memory of the phone, and opened the install software from thre phone.
You have to enter the unlock key and the device then connects and sends a SMS to confirm sucessfull installation. (Or something like that)
Hey, I am no genius, but I worked it out, as I knew the program was installed before.

Thanks Basilrsa, I will try that when I get my Diamond. Maybe all the other instructions were for people that did not have a "legal" copy of GMXT.

Thank you again.

I'm trying to install Garmin Mobile XT by copying the files from the SD card to my internal storage, the phone recognises it and installs and runs it OK.

The problem I have is that the internal GPS is not detected and it just keeps searching bluetooth then attached gps constantly (the progress bar on attached GPS goes about half way and the bluetooth only goes quarter way so I think it is partially detecting).

It is a legal boxed SD card from Garmin that worked on the Touch Cruise and I just want to transfer to this phone. I don't want to run any Keygen exe's on my computer, has anyone found another way of getting the internal GPS to be detected?

I did try it in a good reception area and verified this using CameraAware.
