Garmin Mobile XT on HTC Touch Pro

[fahadriaz49]

Hi,
Is there some way I can use the Garmin Mobile XT with internal GPS of HTC Touch Pro... other than purchasing the Card from Garmin .
Thanks

Yes you can use Garmin XT with the internal GPS. You can download XT free from Garmin's website. However you will need to buy maps separately. The maps are provided on SD cards, but there are guides that show you how you can move the maps to your microSD card (and the necessary settings to get it set up).

If you are asking about how to use XT without purchasing, then it is possible, but you're on your own (see forum rules).

well,
actually the place i live is not part of the developed world so they dont have maps available. Some locals have however, developed crude maps compatible with garmin mobile xt though.
however, for using the garmin mobile xt without purchasing, i needed info.
and u r refering me to the forum rules ... why ... it aint allowed ?????

If you're talking about user-made maps you should be able to just put them in the appropriate Garmin folder on your device, but I have not tried it before so hopefully someone else can offer advice.

I only mentioned the forum rules because it wasn't clear to me if you were trying to get retail maps.

It sounds like you probably aren't asking for illegal maps (free download of commercial maps).

Garmin has this download page.

Downloading the software from there is legal. If it will work with the maps that have been developed locally then you are in luck. I would suggest you ask for info on how in the same place where you will get the maps.

Now if you have to install or apply a "Crack" to the Garmin software for the maps to work then you are crossing into WAREZ and that is not allowed here.

i have garmin mobile xt on my fuze. its awesome btw and prolly the only software ive seen worth the money. the program and software upgrades are free which is good since my original installer is older but i have bought the 2009 maps. the thing with it is to use a non-gramin-branded gps receiver you have to buy a key code (i forgot what its called) that way they are actually making money for their products. that will unlock it for use with any gps receiver. it sounds a bit of a jip but the key lasts forever and the maps can also be loaded on to any other garmin devices you might own (like i do).

Did somebody make any other experiences that works better? would be nice to know
