Garmin on S60 (Symbian OS) & Nokia NSeries
// December 6th, 2008 // Gadget, Technology, Tutorial
Most of my friends wasted RM70-RM100 to get the installation of Garmin on their handphones. So here’s a simple instruction on how to successfully install and configure your Garmin with Malaysia & Singapore map. I’m using Nokia N95 for this setup.
Here goes…
1. Download to your computer the Garmin Mobile XT for Symbian S60 3rd Edition, Ver. 5.00.10 from here.
2. Download to your computer Garmin Mobile XT Free Basemap, Ver. 4.xx.xx from here.
3. Download to your computer Garmin Mobile XT Support Files, Ver. 4.xx.xx from here.
4. Download the latest version of Malfreemap from here.
5. Connect your phone using USB and connect as a memory card function.
6. Now, run the recently downloaded files on the computer, one after another, in this order:
- v4.xx.xxx Support File,
- v4.xx.xxx Basemap File
- GMXT v5.00.10
When prompted to choose storage space, point to your memory card (or phone memory on N95 8GB or N96)
7. Disconnect phone memory from computer. It’s time to configure Garmin on your phone. Go to your phone’s File Manager > Memory Card > Garmin > GarminMobileXT.sis and install the .sis file.
8. After that, go to Applications> run Garmin Mobile XT. It won’t connect to GPS satelite yet, so just ignore it.
9. You should have received your device unlock code from the manufacturer of Garmin, however if you haven’t, there are instructions on the Internet to guide you on how to get your. No help here. Sorry.
10. Copy the device unlock code and paste it in a notepad, then save the file as “SW.UNL”.
11. Reconnect your phone/memory to your computer.
12. Copy the SW.UNL file into \Garmin\ installation folder.
13. Then, run MFMvX.XX.exe, and copy gmapsupp.img into \Garmin\ folder.
14. Disconnect your phone from your computer.
15. Go to Applications > Garmin Mobile XT > Settings > System > Remote GPS > Select ‘Use Attached/Built-in GPS’ > Enable and it’s all done.
16. Go to Tools > Settings > General > Positioning > Positioning Method > uncheck all except the Integrated GPS if you are using the built-in GPS under Nokia settings, not Garmin!
* Assisted GPS = Using 3G connection. If you’re using unlimited plan, it’s okay to turn this on
* Bluetooth GPS = External GPS Receiver
* Network based = Based on the Telco tower triangular signal
17. Wait for satellite signal to strengthen and then you can start navigating around various places with confidence!
18. You’re done! Simple aight? Save RM70 already and always have the updated maps! Why pay when the map creator team is giving it for free?
Cherios & Good luck!

Garmin is giving their software for free but only to use with their bluetooth device. you can try searching the internet to find an alternative to bypass this. i don’t think i could help you with this. if you’re desperate, please email me.

dear man and all people who still don’t understand on how to get eh code:
aiyo..u all really need spoon feeding la~ 1minggu pun tak dapat..
didn’t bro syakir mentioned it, so clearly at step 9!
Folks, there are 3 options
Option 1: go to any nearest handphone stall, they will help u unlock with a certain fee
Option 2: go to buy the the unlock code for GMXT from garmin, and key in the unlock code..
Option 3: kan brother shakir dah mentioned, go search from the net “INTERNEt GUIDE” ..use la some search engine .zzzz
hee.. i don’t give help on ‘cracking’ any software. but if you can’t support Garmin by buying their product since they giving the software for free, might as well crack your brain first before cracking the software. i’m so sorry for this. don’t want to get into any trouble with anyone
Bro, I tried to search for the unlock code for sometime (a week plus) but still unable to get it…Some of it they say have virus. I need your help urgently!!!Thanks!
