Hi everyone,
I am looking for an application on PPC2003 to read
Garmin maps (IMG format).
Reason is that I have NOT go onto the GPS bandwagon yet
but I noticed a lot of Free garmin maps on the net.
This maps will come in handy even though I don't have GPS.
So if anyone knows of such an application, please let me know.
Alternatively, anyone knows what is the best alternative
to get free maps and free map readers (NON GPS)?

I currently have Google maps installed which is incredible (http://google.com/gmm), but does anyone know of any map software that I can use without a data connection? I was hoping for something as good and free as the google map.

i asked this a while ago in the general forum, there is one by nokia called smart2go, but apparently nothing else
That is a neat offline map. You can download maps from all over the world for free. The only thing that it is just literally just a map. Once I want to start putting in locations and mapping routes, that's when I gotta pay. It's nice tho, works fine on my WM5. Thanks for the find! I'm still open for suggestions if anybody knows of any other progs.
I'm about to try Pocket Streets 2002
I know I downloaded it free, but I think I may have to have Streets & Trips on the PC. I don't remember.... I'll let you know how it goes. I'm wondering if anyone else has any ancient stuff, when WiFi was our only internet option (in general), so live maps were pretty pointless.
Of course, there's the outdated data thing to consider.
I was also wondering if something like AvantGo might work. I imagine it would be possible to edit the page to add your own stuff. ???
I need some decent sat nav software on my HD2 Android phone for navigation and speed camera alerts (pocketgps). No I'm currently using TomTom in Winmo but that isn't available for Android. i have used CoPilot in the past and one thing that used to really annoy me was when it announce speed cameras as 'Safety Cameras'...Does it still do this? Is there a way to change it?
When i install the maps are they installed in my data.img or just on the storage card?
When I upgrade android does it still just work if i use the same data.img file? How about if I change to a complete new build where i can't transfer the data.img file?
Its a piad application and I don't want to waste my money if I can't use it after upgrading andriod.
Also is there a way of importing all my TomTom POIs to CoPilot?
Thanks in advance
I have been trying to find the best GPS software to use on my phone. I have tried all the different kinds of apps (Garmin, NDrive 10, iGo…..) but found that Garmin seems to be the best with the maps it uses. The only problem is that the Garmin Mobile XT v5.00.20w is a bit old for most people.
I have been thinking about why Garmin stopped updating the Garmin Mobile XT software. I realized that Garmin is only updating the Garmin Asus Nüvifone M10 – which is actually running on Windows Mobile 6.5.3
Therefore, I wanted to update my Garmin Mobile app to the version that is being used on the Nüvifone M10 so I can also have junction view and 3D views and all the new cool things.
Anyhow, I found the new ROM files for the Nüvifone M10 and even the contents of the ROM which include the updated Garmin Mobile app itself. I tried so many things to make the thing work but end up with an error that won’t load the app. I thought it would be as easy by just copying the new files over from the Nüvifone M10 ROM, but I was wrong.
Does anyone think they can help me with this project? I don’t think it would be a hard thing but I just can’t figure out how to make the new Garmin Mobile XT app to work.
I have a Windows Mobile 6.5.3 phone (Samsung Omnia 2) and would love to have Garmin Mobile XT v 5.86.10 working on my phone
I would really appreciate anyone’s help. Thank you so much!
Great idea! Sorry I'm not able to help much. Will help to test once you get it working though.

i second that..

We need a bit more than just the exe and some dll ... as long as the registry part is missing there's not much we can do. A link to the that Nüvifone M10 ROM you are talking about could be helpful.
cheers
Here it is, the OEM, SYS and EXTROM folders dumped from Nüvifone M10 ROM V6.22.0

wrong. every copy of mobile xt must be activated. maps are free, except for city navigator.
GArmin mobile xt 5.0.20 has to be purchased and activated at a garmin center. dont give me any of that garmin is giving mobile xt as a free app crap.
all garmin app comes free either with a nuvi pna or a nuvi phone. without their device the only app available for wm is mobile xt WHICH IS A COMMERCIAL PRODUCT. so jj62mtp, get your facts straight.
it is still "WAREZ" when you are trying to rip it of like this
too bad, woulda been nice if this was possible
Anything is possible!! Don’t let people discourage you. Everyone has the right to their feelings and ideas. That doesn’t mean that I care about their feelings and ideas. Plus, people do pay for the maps (City Navigator) and yet just want something up to date to run them on.

well yeah i totally agree. very unfortunate that garmin is only releasing this for that particular version. im one of those that have those maps, but would like something newer as well. so good luck if you, or anyone else, decides to do it.

Wrong, the software Garmin Mobile XT is free available and is automatically activated when you buy a Garmin GPS Receiver.
Garmin Mobile XT can not be bought seperated.
And maps, except Open Street Maps, are not free. Either you buy them or u are eligble for a free mapupdate.
Btw. Garmin MobileXT v5.20 is doing what it should do, navigating.
JCV and 3D Buildings is a nice to have, but if ur device is not powerful, then it won't work
i think one thing we can all agree on is that it would be in garmin's best interest to release a new version for our phones. if there's a market for the product, fill that niche. who knows, maybe they are working on it. but im not the type of person just to buy a new phone for a new app. i'd rather use what i have, and im sure there are plenty of people like me. garmin should cater to the customer, not the other way around.
I figured out how to solve this problem but I need a bit of help. Can someone go through the Que.exe file and see what files are needed to run with the application? This might help – I know that the app uses -- img.dir, img_ce.dir & img_480.gir as part of the program. Please find the list of files that this app uses.

Looks like the following libraries:
Note_prj.dll
WININET.dll
cellcore.dll
WS2.dll
AsuDateTime.dll
DDRAW.dll
COREDLL.dll
ole32.dll
OLEAUT32.dll
commctrl.dll
protobuf.dll
AYGSHELL.dll
libGLES_CM.dll
Thank you so much for your help. I found all the *.dll files except for protobuf.dll
However, I find the dll files in a folder content but without a actual file called *.dll
Does anyone know which file is the *.dll file or what I should do to get the above *.dll files from the folder?
Good topic.
I can run this app, but after Garmin logo all breaks...

Cool We almost have it… please don’t give up
AWESOME!
Yeah!, wow man, this would be an amazing thing if you get this going, hell, I will shoot over 20 bucks to yer paypal if you get this thing up. I purchased Garmin Mobile XT over 3 years ago now, I still have the origional bluetooth dongle, would be so nice to breath some fresh life into it!

Oh mannn, I really need the new version of garmin for my HD2..
As you probably already know, StyleTap is a Palm OS emulator that let you run Palm OS apps in another opertaing system.
Till now it only has version for Windows Mobile, Symbian and IOS, Now it is also available for Android.
This means that the thousand of apps available for Palm OS could be used in Android using StyleTap.
The thing is that one of those apps is the Garmin XT. Till now THERE IS NO app for android that can read img garmin map format perfectly.(see OruxMaps that can read img garmin maps, it is in beta link)
So, using StyleTap and the last version available of Garmin XT for Palm we will be able to use GARMIN XT ON ANDROID.
Also here it is stated that:
Code:
It also provides innovative capabilities such as giving Palm OS applications access to the Android GPS by providing location information in standard GPS NMEA format.
So apparently StyleTap is able to use the native GPS API's of Android.
Ps: I didn't test it yet myself, as my tablet get stolen.
Ps2: Please share your experiences i want to know.
Ps3: This is also wonderful for Astronomers. There are more and better quality astronomy apps for palm that the ones available for android. So we can also use the well known astronomy apps for Palm OS on Android
***********
EDIT: Till now the Garmin XT app opens and shows the welcome screen, but then it force close.
There's already a thread discussing this. Please use that instead...
