How To Install Garmin XT on Nokia 5800 (Symbian S60 v3)

I recently bought a Nokia 5800 and asked if the shop keeper could install Garmin XT for me. Guess what? He wants to charge RM 80 (USD 20) for that!



It turns out, it is pretty tough considering my lack of expertise when it comes to Symbian OS phones. I spent 3 days experimenting all possibilities to make it work on my phone. Since it took a lot of my time, I’m going to save yours by teaching you.

Before you do anything, and read all the instructions before hand. It’ll help you to visualize the process.

Download file contains

    * GarminMobileXTforSymbianS603rdEdition_50040.exe
    * GarminMobileXTFreeBasemap_4xxxx.exe
    * GarminMobileXTSupportFiles_4xxxx.exe
    * gmapsupp.img (Malaysian Map, with DUKE highway)
    * garmin_kgen.exe
    * 5800_manual.pdf
    * GarminMobile20_GarminMobileXTOwnersManual.pdf

    Note: You can skip part 1.

1. Setting up Apparatus, The Nokia 5800

   1. Back up all data using PC Suite (go to Nokia website).
   2. Soft reset by pressing *#7370#. Should take about 2-3 mins and you lose all your data (except on memory card). But don’t worry, you have back up remember?
   3. On your Nokia 5800, go to Application > Location > Positioning > Positioning Methods. Enable “Assisted GPS” and “Integrated GPS” ONLY. This will ensure you don’t get charge using WAP or 3G network for Internet.
   4. Go to Application > Location > GPS Data > Position > Options > Satellite status. This will show the satellite signals you’re receiving. Be sure you are outdoor in an open area. Balcony doesn’t work well, believe me I’ve tried. Once you’ve got AT LEAST 4 satellite signal, go back indoor, you don’t want people to think you’re crazy, waving your phone around.
   5. Now you’re ready for GarminXT.

2. Installing GarminXT on Nokia 5800.

   1. Once you’ve downloaded, unzip the files to someplace accessible preferably on your desktop.
   2. Connect your phone via USB and select  ‘Mass storage mode’.
   3. From you PC, double click “GarminMobileXTforSymbianS603rdEdition_50040.exe” to install and wait.
   4. Double click “GarminMobileXTFreeBasemap_4xxxx.exe” to install. Wait..
   5. Double click “GarminMobileXTSupportFiles_4xxxx.exe” to install.
   6. Remove USB connection between PC and phone. When prompted ‘Launch GarminXT’ do not click Yes, just Cancel.
   7. From your phone, go to Menu > Settings > Application Manager > Installation files. There should be GarminXT.sis file. Install it.

3. Cracking GarminXT on Nokia 5800.

   1. Tell yourself and say “Yes, I’m a cheapskate”.
   2. Run GarminXT from your phone at Menu > Application > Garmin. It will prompt you with some settings. Choose your preferable.
   3. Select “Use other device” when it prompts you to buy or trial. You will get a screen, “Where To?” and “View map”
   4. In GarminXT, go to Tools > Settings > About. Jot down “Card ID”, you will need it. Exit GarminXT
   5. On your PC, run “garmin_kgen.exe” and enter the “Card ID” from previous steps.
   6. Generate it and you will get a string of codes. Copy the codes to Notepad and save it as “sw.unl”. *Be sure you don’t save it as sw.unl.txt”*
   7. Connect your phone to PC and select “Mass storage mode”.
   8. Copy “sw.unl” to Garmin folder. Usually located at E:/Garmin.
   9. Copy “gmapsupp.img” from downloaded file to Garmin folder. “gmapsupp.img” is the Malaysian map.
  10. Disconnect your phone from PC.

4. Restore your Nokia 5800

   1. Reconnect your phone via PC Suite.
   2. Restore your settings through back up.

5. Setting up GarminXT on Nokia 5800

   1. You don’t need your PC anymore. Shut down and conserve energy.
   2. Run GarminXT on your phone.
   3. Go to Tools > Settings > System > Remote GPS. Change to “Use Attached GPS” by disabling the “Bluetooth GPS”.
   4. Go to Tools > Manage My Data > Map Sets > MapSource. Make sure all maps are enabled.

6. Toying GarminXT on Nokia 5800.

   1. Switch off your fans and lights. Go out.
   2. Run GarminXT, (duh!).
   3. Select “View Map” and wait for a while. The satellite will find you. It took me 5 mins or so. Just have patience and faith.
   4. Now you’ll see where you are.
   5. Go back and select “Where To?”. If you’re at home and wants GarminXT to store you current location as home, then select “Home”
   6. “Where To?” is rather confusing. I usually use “Where To?” > Point of interest. There’s lots of shopping malls, hospitals, banks, ATM machines etc. from there, you’d know where to go.
   7. Pat yourself and say “Well done”. The rest is up to you.


to make ur blog faster


The speed at which your blog loads is critical to attracting more readers to your blog. If your blog takes a long time to load, many readers may leave your blog before they have the chance to read it. Here are a few tips and tricks that will help your blog load faster and attract more users:

Your blog's load time can be affected by the number of posts you display on your main page. You can easily edit the number of posts displayed of the main page from the Settings | Formatting tab. You can then select the number of posts you want to display on the main page. We recommend displaying 10 or fewer posts on the main page. 
Third Party JavaScript and Links
For optimal blog load speed, we recommend using Google/Blogger widgets, JavaScript and links. However, if you need to use third party JavaScript and links, your blog will load much faster if you put all JavaScript at the bottom of your blog. If you have third party JavaScript and links in your sidebar, put them in at the bottom of the sidebar.
Images and Media
Learn even more ways Google products work together.
The more images, videos and other multi-media you have on your blog the longer it will take to load. However, images and other multimedia are important to attracting users to your blog, so it is important to optimize the load speed of your images and media. Here are a few tips to increase the load speed of your media:
  • Decrease the size of your images or use thumbnails that link to the full-size image.
  • If you use third party images, consider uploading them to Picasa Web Albums via the Blogger post editor.
  • If you have a large number of images to display, you can upload all your images (from a vacation or event) to a Picasa Web Album and link to the album in your post or sidebar.
Other suggestions
  • If you've added any custom CSS to your blog, make sure you put it at the top of the page.
  • The most important content of your blog that catches readers attention should load the quickest. To help you identify which items are taking the longest to load you can use Stopwatch. To use Stopwatch, enter your blog's URL into the text box and click "Start StopWatch". Stopwatch will then open your blog in a frame and will record the time it takes for everything on your blog to load, including images, videos, widgets, etc. Take note of the items that take the longest to load and modify them appropriately using our suggestions.
