To all samsung SGH-i780 users out there.. i've finally found a program that will enable the gps feature of the phone that can work with garmin.
1. Install the pc software "MapSource" into your computer http://www8.garmin.com/support/downl...ils.jsp?id=209
When you are done with the installation you will have a new icon on the desktop, "MapInstall". We dont need this right now, but we will get back to it.
Open the installation folder and create a shortcut of the file "MapSource.exe" in your desktop..just in case it's not there.
2. Download the Mobile Navigator program at http://samsung.gamin.com -- it's a trial version. You can choose any European country in the list... download and install it in the sd card...
you can also download the latest update of the software afterwards.
3. Once it is done with the installation, connect the sd card to the mobile device and connect it to the computer and make sure that active sync and windows mobile device center softwares are running.
Open the "Mapsource" from the desktop...click utilities in the menu bar then click "Get Unit ID"
Save a copy the Unit ID.. it does not change unless you change your sd card...and it's important.
4. Open "MapInstall"... enter the Unit ID and select the sd card as storage location... then install the Phillipine map available from this forum.
5. Go outside your house.. find a clear spot.. run Garmin on your mobile device, click the bars on the left upper corner ... click "GPS Info".. then "New Location"
Wait for up to 3 minutes depending on the signal until you get a signal then save your location.
by the way, heres the link for the owner's manual http://www8.garmin.com/manuals/Samsu...nersManual.pdf
enjoy!
by the way.. any idea on how to put a shortcut of the Garmin XT program icon from the sd card to the main memory?
