You need to download the voice files from Garmin and install into your SD card... Apart from your device installer, you need to download the following files too:

Garmin Mobile XT Free Basemap Ver. 4.xx.xx as of Apr 19, 2007 <---- This I presumed you already have...

Garmin Mobile XT Support Files Ver. 4.xx.xx as of Jul 11, 2007 <---- This one contains helps files and voice... Download this as well...

ok tq bro EastMushu.. problem settle. i copy file xxx.vpm in folder voice and paste at e://garmin/voice.

version 5 is nice...but i encounter the display shut after 5-10mins idle (while navigating due to on highway). i have set my settings to make sure the backlight is always on and while navigating but it still shuts off. when i on the screen shows gps device off and searching. then it got locked again... but after idling another 5-10mins, it does the same thing. i have never encountered this with version 4. any help?

I had this problen with my old PDA as the processor speed was too slow to handle the GMXT. I ended up using Mapking that time and just change my PDA lately to a higher speed processor and it work fine. I beleive you need a minimum of 400mHz to run GMXT. Also check the ram availability.

To set the backlight to always on;

Click on [Tools]-->[Settings]-->[Display]-->[Backlight Override], check Always On and leave the rest unchecked.

With this setting, the backlight will never turn-off as long as GMXT is running. 8-)

Try deleting all the setting files in your device garmin folder...
