      mobilext is no longer available. garmin has discontinued it, hence, no more support and it's not being sold anymore.
      got a question? google it or do a forum search.

          you'll have to be a contributor in order to get the latest roadguide ph map. the roadguide basic/free map can be downloaded from the Download Standard Philippines GPS Map sub-forum. how to get contributor status? check out the threads in How To sub-forum.

            Here's the link to garmin's download site. It says on the top "discontinued" but I tried it and the download link still works. Not sure how you can pay for it though....

              is the standard phil. GPS map updated regularly?

              standard map (200+mb) for garmin gps will work on Garmin mobileXT?

                no. the free/basic/standard roadguide ph map is a few months old. it's the contributors map that gets updated regularly.

                looks like you've downloaded the philippine contour map, the free/basic map installer is around 16mb+ lang. but yes, you can use the contour map on mobilext.

                  I guess there's no more updates for Garmin mobile XT? (especially the software)

                    I'm not 100% sure but I do believe that GMXT for WinMo was discontinued since February last year (2009) so there will be no more updates.

                      can anyone help me out. on a recent trip to cam sur. i did a lot of waypoint entries in my garmin xt

                      which directory can i find it? it seems that it is lost somewhere in there? these points could be useful since these are the big gas stations where u can rest and all.

                          connect your unit to pc. run mapsource and click on transfer then receive from device... under the "what to receive" options, un-select everything which you don't need to import in mapsource (eg. if you just need waypoints, leave everything unchecked except waypoints) then click the receive button.

                          afaik, there's no need to export your waypoints/tracks/etc. you go directly to letting mapsource receive whatever data you need from mobilext.
                          got a question? google it or do a forum search.

                                Bottom center of the map... the blue thing with an arrow takes you back to the main screen.
