hi all, newbie here.

had fancied a GPS unit for a few years but just couldn't justify myself owning one (i was aiming for the 60Csx) just for the heck of it although i don't need one as i'm pretty good with directions and map reading. but ever since i started to venture into southern thailand, that's when my internal compas go haywire. lol...

just got myself a 2nd hand nokia 5800 and the license for the built in Maps already expired. tried google maps but it requires constant gprs for map download which is a killer while roaming in thailand. so currently i'm attempting to install Garmin XT on my own. will have to see if the installation doesnt crash my device before i proceed further.

thanks for the mappers here!



**update**
ok, i managed to install Garmin Mobile XT into my nokia 5800, saves some money from going over to those ppl in lowyat. USD99, eh?

its nice to know you'll be in the gps community. as you are still new, its also important to know that we do not condone to piracy acts, we do not tolerate non-original products, we do not support cracks or hacks. only the original.
so whether you paid USD99 or not, we dont really bother, but you shouldnt speak of it out loud in here.

thanks.
