Garmin Mobile XT Software Problems

[76gpsguy]

hi bro 76gpsguy,

i'm not trying to combine both maps...i still have 2 separate maps, MSM as gmapsupp.img and MFM as gmapsup1.img..so inthe GMXT map set i can choose which map to use, the base map, MFM or MSM, but somehow i can view MSM but not MFM? thanks!

What MXT are you using? As far as Symbian MXT concern, its only support the following img files :
1) gmapbmap.img
2) gmapprom.img
3) gmapsupp.img
4) gmapsup2.img.

I have no idea whether WM MXT support gmapsup1.img. Please also refer to this Link for more information.

Had that address search problem too on my TyTN II but using MSM instead... Would be related to GMXT v5... I went back to v4 instead...

Bro wengsiu,

This is for WM5+ devices only. The last letter in the filename i.e. '50020w' denotes which is for what device. w for wm5+, p is for palm and for Symbian devices have no letter, just numbers.

Any users here have experience of very frequent program crash?

For me during navigating it may crash, leaving the voice prompt still on but map / display all hang

Another is the program just crash while browsing the maps too vigourously ie browsing very fast.

The above problem shouldn't be GPSr's fault as it may happen even without the BT switched on / GPS disabled.

Second problem is : If I create a x:\garmin\ folder in my phone / pda on-board memory, it will actually get deleted automatically, but not immediately. FYI, if you put both maps inside the on-board mem, crashing happens a lot less, but alas it only lasts about a few hours before the folder just disappears.

Using : P1i with 4.20.20, with *ahem* non-garmin receiver.

I used to have this problem with GMXT v4+ & v5.00.10. This problem gone with v5.00.20. Try to upgrade your GMXT & don't forget to delete all the setting files in /Garmin folder. (backup your POi first).
