Hi all, I need Mapsource full version, I can only find the update for some weird reason

. The update needs a previous version installed first. Does anyone know where I might download a full version of Mapsource? I will appreciate it very much.

Thank you for reading,

Jen

mapsource is supplied just if you bought a map dvd, but if you read the two threads you'll find the way to install it

'K I got it working

Over the weekend I installed the SA maps after I couldn't get the Masource update to work as a full version, there after Mapsource started functioning without problems. So somehow the maps also install some files to make Mapsource work I guess. Anyway thats how it works if anyone else needs was wondering. I didn't use the menu that pops up when you insert the DVD, because my 6220c can't be in "Mass Storage" mode and connect to the internet at the same time for some strange reason, it must be a limitation of the 6220c I guess. So I just installed the SA maps from its folder on the CD with its install file located in the folder. There after Mapsourced worked. I also got GMXT 5.00.40 installed and serialised with the help of Catymag's guide. I also managed to upload the SA map to my 6220c with mapsourced after I got the map unlocked with JMKG.

GMXT seems nice but it needs a bit more improvement I think, 6 things I noticed: 1: it is slow to catch signal, 2: It loses signal easily, 3: when I disable and immediately re-enable GPS it has signal again, so must be a bug, 4: doesn't show the names of approaching streets in 3D mode / view, 5: autozoom not working, 6: colorscheme sucks

I do think GMXT has a lot of potential, the guys at Garmin just need to take some tips from other GPS software, personally I do like Garmin because its a long existing trusted name in GPS's. I'm sure it will improve in future versions.

sms locations.

Does anyone know if on S60 garmin xt you can send locations to other people by sms?

I know you can send your current location, but what about from my locatino or a contact?

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know if it is possible to add a color scheme / modify the GMXT color scheme? Reason I'm asking is that the default color schemes (Day / Night) do not impress me.

Hello, i have Garmin mobile xt 5.00.50 and a "problem"... when i go to "View map" i can't move throught the map? Is this normal? I can see only location located by GPS and zoom it? But when i go to settings/browse map, i can move anywhere... How can i change this?
