Garmin Mobile XT

you read it right, all right!!! Garmin Mobile XT GPS software that you can install to your handphone, all most all symbian and windows mobile ones atleast....they could be with a built-in GPS functionality or you can get external bluetooth GPS receivers like Garmin, Holux to name a few....in fact a good buddy Kian Seng introduced me to this, he was using a Holux receiver....didn't know about this, always thought of purpose built GPS..

anyway i experimented with James' Nokia N95 and it took me a while to get it working...a certain installation step is required...James took 2 days....and couldn't get it to work but his google earth was working.....hahahahah....anyway after meddling with it for an hour and a half...it worked beautifully....

then it was my turn...i just got a nokia N78 courtesy from Digi for free...tried to install the same software to the phone but it just froze...tried a few times and it still wouldn't work....then i found out that the N78 is one of those new phones with Symbian 60 fp2 and the software wouldn't work aka freeze ler....so how? found out that Garmin has a new release that will support fp2...ahh and it worked beautifully too...took it for a spin this morning...

interested...here's the link http://www.garmin.com.tw/products/GarminMobile10/download.html
