Press the Image button first.

sorry for late reply.
with my 5800, TOOLS button refers to the white button between the red and green right?

if so after entering settings menu, i see only PERSONAL, PHONE, APPLICATION MGR, CALLING, CONNECTIVITY

i don't see Settings > General > Positioning > Positioning Methods

Hallo All

I'm trying out Garmin Mobile XT for SMARTPHONE V5.00.50s60.9 with my Nokia 5800 using malfreemaps (named as gmapsupp). I followed all recommended installation procedures installed Garmin XT and mailsing map in SD card \Garmin. But when I execute Garmin XT, I couldn't get it work and I noticed:-

a) when I'm at "GPS Info", it keep showing me "Acquiring Satellities"
b) In view map mode" keep showing "Searching for Satellites"
c) When I keyed in a address and hit GO or "Where Am I", it keep showing "Awaiting Better GPS Accuracy"...

I also noticed my GPS signal level only show 1 small bar and "GPS info" mode showed me only 1-2 satellite icon on the circle.. I never able to get 5 bars..

Tried many days and still can't get it works..

Help Me Please...

You're welcome. With A-GPS enabled, satellites fix should take much more faster.

yes, you need to wait for a little bit longer for the first time. I am using the 5800 as well. i waited about 15 minutes for the 1st time. try it again in the open area where there is no high rise building. I am sure you will get it. Cheer!
