Hello! I purchased a 6 GB card for my AT&T Tilt as I wanted to keep both CNNANT 2K8 and CNEurNT v9 readily at hand (as well as music, etc.) I travel to Europe regularly and didn't want to have to juggle data on a 2 GB card. Anyway, I installed Mobile XT on the card successfully and I'm using the latest versions of MapInstall and MapSource on my laptop running Vista. I have the map files unlocked and can display them on my laptop. I have keys generated for both map sets and pasted into both the .UNL files in the Garmin folder on the card. It appears as one continuous 75-character key in each file. However...when I attempt to install both map sets to the card, although the install appears to go normally, I can display only one or the other map set. I can see through Windows Explorer that the available space on the card is down to what it would be with both map sets installed. I go to 'Manage My Data' in XT and all I can see is one of the map sets -- Europe or North America. I have tried every trick I can think of to get both sets to install properly but there's no difference. I do notice that when both have been installed, Mobile XT takes an inordinately long time to initialize on my Tilt. Any ideas? Thanks for your help!

Warez discussion is not allowed on this board.
Anyway, contact Garmin if you want http://www.garmin.com/garmin/cms/site/us/support/supportcontact
Wasn't discussing "warez," there...
Thanks for the reply. All I'm attempting to do is combine both map sets on one card. If Garmin tech support was worth contacting, I would have done it. I'm not pirating and not condoning those who do. The "keys" in question are only to facilitate letting me combine what's already mine in a format useful to me. These issues have been sufficiently beaten to death on other threads so let's not belabor the issue.
Sorry for the rant...
changing maps with mortscript
I was asking myself too if it's possible to use two different maps the same time.
But i don't think it's possible with the pda version from Garmin. Correct me if I'm wrong....
My workaround is a little mortscript i made to choose which map i want to use....
If you're interested i can send it to you, you only have to change the values etc...
It's quite possible to have more than 1 map in a card, but it's required some key generate to make it work because of the Garmin's brilliant ideal (locked map to its specified tiny 1GB-2GB card.)
if you want to have multiple maps for different areas on one card, you should use "gmaptool" to combine them and load the resulting .img file on your device.
You have to have the maps unlocked BEFORE combining them, everything als wont work.
Sadly you can`t use mapsource with the combined file without buying the programm "img2mapsource" wich could do the job.
I dont really need mapsource though.
You can even combine to maps of the smae area, for example to get autorouting in a topo map.
To do so, you have to unlock both maps, set the map prioority with gmaptool to show the topo map over the auto.routing map and combine them afterwards.
The program is used in the command line. Read the readme for further instructions.
There is another way... still manual though.
I use MapSource to transfer only the maps I need to my Tilt. Unfortunately, as you all probably know by now, Garmin Mobile XT does not allow more than one map on the card simultaneously. If you try to do it from MapSource, the new map overwrites the old map.
So what I do is create mapsets in MapSource and save them for quick recall.
I created a mapset for all of North America using City Navigator 8 maps. Then I transferred that to my Tilt. Next I went onto my Tilt's SD card and renamed the mapset with a "CN-" prefix.
Now, I went back into MapSource and created a mapset for the NW states of the US using my Topographic 2008 maps. Then I transferred that to my Tilt. Next, I went onto my Tilt's SD card and renamed the mapset with a "Topo-" prefix.
Depending upon which mapset I want to use (on road or off road), I just remove the prefix and launch Garmin Mobile XT.
It's a manual process to switch maps, but it's minimal work and they're always on the card where ever I go. I'm sure you could do the same with EU maps or other maps.
i think that's exactly what i am doing with my mortscript

I'm not sure if you're still looking for an answer on this or if you already figured out how to do this yet but I figured its worth a shot. I'm currently running Mobile XT on my Moto Q9h (WM6 device). The problem I was having was that if I loaded the detail maps for all of North America on to my 8gb sd card and then tried launching XT it would just hang on the splash screen at the beginning. After a bunch of reading and research I found a website that talked about loading different mapsets to XT (unfortunately I cant remember the website otherwise I'd give them the credit...). So what I ended up doing was breaking down my NA maps into 1 mapset for Canada and 1 for the US then I loaded both to my sd card and it worked like a charm. Here's what I did:
Install the first mapset to your device using Mapsource, so in your case I would imagine it would be the NA set but it can be either or. Once this is installed on your card, using active sync go to the Garmin folder on the storage card and rename the .img file from GMAPSUPP.img to GMAPSUP2.img. ** Notice that the name is still only 8 characters long **
Now that you've renamed that file, then go ahead and load the other mapset to ur device. Assuming that your maps are unlocked and good to go, you should see 2 img files on ur Garmin folder GMAPSUPP and GMAPSUP2. This should allow you to display both maps at the same time. You can verify the maps are installed by going to Tools--> Manage my data ---> Maps, it should display both sets plus ur base map.
Hope this helps.
This will work only if you copy two different maps, witch were unlocked with one and same map unlock code! If you have two different maps with two unlock codes - you should rename also GMAPSUP2.UNL file to have two working maps.

I tried this with North America and Europe maps (saved to 8Gb card) and it seems to work...I did verify that the maps are installed by going to Tools--> Manage my data ---> Maps, and it displays both sets plus the world-wide base map.
My question is how do I get it to display the second map...
I'm in the US, and I can zoom out and see the North America overall map, but I can't do see the Europe maps at all. I've selected both, and then tried just selecting Europe in the Mapsource menu, but I haven't been able to get the Europe map to display.
Any advice on what I'm missing?
TIA,
Chris
EDIT:: After a restart I was able to get all the maps to display...this is a great trick!!
Thank you.
Glad you got it to work, I havent loaded anything other than the NA maps but now I know that I can load other maps if need be.
not trying to dig up old threads but i'm using tomtom since the start and now want to try garmin
do i purchase mobile xt or city navigator north.america if i want to use it in canada?
and whats the difference between mobile xt vs c.navigator
Mobile xt is the "engine" to run the map. You have to pick North America map. Read more.
so basically city navigator is just the map...and mobile xt is the gps program that will find routes and current location n such. am i correct?
Correct!

Actually, you do not need mapsource for this.All what you need is rename GMAPSUPP.img and GMAPSUPP.UNL to GMAPSUP2.img and GMAPSUP2.unl with active sync and you are good to go.
i've been successfully install 2 different map..and registered in mapset..but it views only the basemap...how can i show the other maps?
I already do what you said..but what comes on the display is only the base map...(GMAPBMAP.IMG)..and i can not see the others i've already loaded on my garmin xt
In your SD card you would have gmapbmap.img as your global base map. For GMXT you can also have gmapsupp.img and gmapprom.img with the corresponding gmapsupp.unl and gmapprom.unl files as necessary. This works for me. I tried gmapsup1.img gmapsup2.img that other boards said would work but my GMXT doesn't load this filename. However, mine can have the global base map plus 2 other maps simultaneously.

I'm not taking credit for this, as it was other people on this board that showed me the right direction. I'm just making a post with a working version as I have yet to see one yet.
I have an AT&T tilt. This is with the ROM that comes with it. not cooked.
Make sure that you have deleted any other version of TomTom from your Tilt. Make sure you have deleted any old maps and map directories "\Storage Card\My Documents\"
1) Copy the cab over to your card
2) Run the cab
3) Copy your maps over to "\Storage Card\My Documents\". Mine were saved on my computer and called USA_and_Canada_v.675.1409.zip , make sure you are paying Tomtom because stealing is wrong.
4) Run TomTom
5) Go to Change Preferences|Show GPS status|Configure
6) Make sure the selected GPS receiver is "Built-in GPS receiver"
that's it. It should work from then on.

If you are using a non tilt rom, i'd try the cab install that comes with the htc. this one is for the tilt ROM
what version of tomtom is this?
The version number is 6
Can you download the maps?
I don't mind paying for the activation code, I just want to able to download and pay whatever it costs to avtivate the service from TomTom.
Buy Maps online?
Yes! Download and install Tomtom Home to your PC, then click on the link "buy the latest maps" It will show you all the maps available. Note: the price is in Euro and a single, cheapest map is 39.95 Euro. They have USA regional maps (New England_Mid Atlantics, Plains, etc) each cost 59.95 Euro. Hence, it is expensive to buy map online.
Kireol,
Thank you very much! I've been trying to move my maps out of the root of my 4G card for weeks!
I just wanted to say thanks for helping me finally get tomtom on to my tilt. I had been trying for three days and couldnt get it to work. Finally got it to work. Dont know what I was doing wrong but it work. Just followed the instructions and it went like a charm. Maybe I was tired. Thanks a bunch
If you want to add the standard TomTom Voices to your Kaiser after installing this all you need to do is Download & install TomTomHOME from TomTom's website. It will allow you to download and install all of the standard voices.
yup Kyphur is right. also, if you download some free ones, you can just copy them to your \Storage Card\Voices directory.
Here's a site with a bunch of free TomTom voices (I'm using John Kleese):
http://gps-data-team.com/pda-gps-navigation/links/index.php
Follow the free voices sticky.
Also:
The cab from page 1 on this thread works just perfectly on my Tilt flashed with the TyTN II ROM. As part of the installation, you can also download a free city map to play with. It automatically detects the Kaiser builtin GPS.
Very cool software.
I have the AT&T Tilt (Kaiser). When I select the GPS, it does not show the built in GPS. How do I get it to show the built in GPS. I have the TT MKii external one, but if I could use the built in one, it would be even better. Thanks!
I just set it up before seeing this thread and mine didnt say "internal GPS" but only one of the options was not for a bluetooth gps, so I choose that, and it asked me what com port to use, I said Com 4, and it worked fine. I am using AT&T Rom.
But, I would really like to clean up my Memory Card also, so now I gotta see if I can get all the tomtom files into a folder instead of the root of the memory card.
That worked! Thanks! Now I don't have to carry my external TT GPS around...
U R the man!!!!!!

kireol,
You are the man!!! I've been fooling with this #@%# thing off and on all day. I've been through countless threads and numerus cab files with all negative results.
After reading your post I tried that cab and it worked fantastic. I picked up 4 satellites sitting in the house and 7 when I went outdoors. I had already tried 6.01 with the US maps to no avail. I just installed your cab without uninstalling and everything worked great.
Thank you so much!!!!! Just wish I'd found your post this morning.
Wow! Very nice!
Thanks Man...
I'm going to get me some maps now...
no problem guys
sometimes I think this post should be stickied heh. even i forget about it
I just bought a 8925 and tomtom 6.203 but i am installing it from the SD card. i cant get it to work at all. i copied the tomtom info on to the sd card and can install it on to the phone but it does not work - says 'no maps found' and it doesnt give me the same options as listed in this post - it doesnt offer to 'configure the GPS select other NMEA GPS receiver Click select' its like it skips that step. i dont know if this is even an issue but locating maps are!
i created 3 folders under the tomtom folder on the SD card - total size is 1.6gb
1. north america 675
2. tomtom 6.2 cab file
3. alternative voices
i've tried to leave the folders in that order on the sd card and also put everything into the tomtom navigation (once it was installed) just to see if tomtom is looking in a direct folder. nothing!
i have installed tomtom to storage card not the device (but i did try that as well and same thing)
Any ideas? any help would be much appreciated!!!!
Sean
Did you read the instructions?
tomtom no maps
figured it out - it was the bluetooth explorer - it needed to be shut off in order for tomtom to work... DONE! no i cant get the voices folder to be recognized - anyone know?
I feel like a dumbass. I purchased navigator 6 and us/canada maps from Amazon and seemingly got quite an old version. I'm running 6.030 software and 660 maps.
hope fully it works is iowa missing?
Can you do me a favor and post a screen shot of your UI and a Map?
I want to see which UI and Maps I like better.
Also if you want to add what you feel makes yours better than others please post that too.
Don't think I'm lazy, I've seen the ones on the product sites but you and I know it always looks different in real life.
I have tomtom6 and garmin installed, i switch between the two, both have their pros and cons but together they fill in each others gaps..
head over to garmins site https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=11413# and you can see screen shots of garmin mobile xt...
too lazy to actually take screen shots of mine then upload them..
I'm an iGuidance fan.
1 - The prog comes with PPC, PC and UMPC versions at no additional charge.
2 - Whole US, Canada in 1.2gig, no map loader juggling needed
3 - It has a "hibrid" Text-to-speech engine that talks directions with full street names.
4 - You can run it from your own memory card and not have to insert a specific "garmin" memory card. (This alone is a deal breaker for me, Garmin can pound sand until they stop locking their software to memory cards and external GPS receivers).
5 - I'm too lazy to post pics, but the iGuidance is a very mature product. It has 2D, 3D views with programmable hardkeys, I've used it since v1 beta and it's the best overall value in my eyes. I own TomTom, Mapopolis, Copilot, PMN, Destinator and prefer iG4.

So, you're saying that Garmin on the PPC is pretty close to or exactly what you see on the screenshots. That's great.
But I gotta tell ya, I'm glad the guy below says you have to run it from THEIR card because I have an 8gb and I can't bare to be without it. So Garmin XT is totally out.

iGuidance is it then! Thanks for the tip about Garmin. Didn't know you needed their GPS receiver and to use their card. Pound sand on that ****....DEAD ON.
I loaded Tomtom and it was out immediately, their GUI was so raggedy.
Now I just gotta research vendors.
One note on iGuidance and WM6.1 roms, you need this dll workaround;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368373
Otherwise you need GPsgate software as there is something going on the the internal GPS port. iG4 works fine with WM6.0 roms. Also you need to close any active data connection before launching iG4 or it won't start up. You can open a data connection after iG4 is running. These are minor to me and will probably be fixed in the next release as 6.1 goes mainstream.
you can see some of the screen shots from their website:
http://inavcorp.com/product/gallery/iguidance_gallery.php
looks like they are showing a UMPC screen, but it looks the same (except for the dimensions) on the Tilt.
Here's the PPC Screen shots;

that is not 100% correct... they WANT you to run it from their card, yes. There are some very simple hacks to copy it to whatever card you want... I have it running on 8GB right now. I like it.
Sadly, nothing I have done will get GarminXT running on my Tilt on my own memory card.
It launches, but it refuses to find the maps. I have gone through several steps to try to resolve this, including the "fixes" mentioned.

Works fine for me. I have found there are several different how-to's... I have cleaned up the one I found to work.
If you have your unlock codes for your maps, which you do I'm sure, then this will get your own SD card working just fine.
HOW-TO...
1. Connect the phone via Active Sync and browse to the storage card.
2. Copy the Garmin folder onto the storage card.
BUT, don't move the two .unl files or the map file to the storage card.
3. Run Mapsource on the PC and go to tools> get unit id. Copy the Device ID to the clipboard.
or Run IMEI Converter, put in Phone IMEI and convert to 'Garmin Unit ID'.
4. Using Garmin Unlock Generator tool (Keygen v1.3.exe) paste in 'Unit ID'
5. Select map product
6. Click both generate buttons.
7. Copy 'GM XT Device unlock code' from keygen into notepad, save as 'SW.unl'
8. Copy 'SW.unl' to 'Storage Card\Garmin' on the phone.
9. Copy the 'map unlock code' from the keygen.
10. In Mapsource go to utilites>unlock maps. Complete the wizard using the map unlock code.
11. In Mapsource choose the maps that you want to transfer and select transfer>to device.
Using this method, there appears to be no need for the GMAPSUPP.UNL file. Also, I did not need to run QueSetupSP.cab. I also did not seem to need reboot the phone.
Using the steps you outlined resulted in Garmin hanging during launch.
I am hard resetting my phone right now and starting fresh.
Question: Which phone are you using, and are you using a Garmin bluetooth GPS receiver, or the integrated GPS in the phone?
I was a long time user of iGuidance. Garmin XT is much better...
I would go into all of the reasons but I cant be arsed.
I can also tell you that you CAN get it to work on your own SD card (cause the one it comes on is WAY too small for anything else)
I still use iGuidance on my carpc because it is pretty good and no otehr company has a touch screen friendly interface (at the moment)
Later, Lew
Having found and read the threads I can on the subject, I want to install Tomtom 7 (tt7) on my Diamond (I purchased the phone whilst on a trip to HK and it didn't have it installed), and to hook it up to Tomtom Home on my pc to purchase maps over and above the taster maps.
I've loaded the application cab from a thread on the Kaiser forum (which most people seem to agree is not Warez), and downloaded TT home 2.3 from the tomtom website. Have got the free taster map, but now want to buy more maps. However, I don't seem to be able to get Home to talk to my device.
From reading the threads, it's suggested to move the application from "Intern Gegeugen" (where it installs), to the Program Files folder. However, doing this breaks all the shortcuts.
Can anyone either provide a cab for the application that installs to the right place, or give me some step by step pointers how to get it all working? Would really appreciate the help!
Oh - and should anyone from Tomtom chance upon this post, the sooner you get your website and Home explicitly working for TT7, the faster I'm sure people like me would actually be buying your products- seems you've done the hard part of actually developing the software, just not making it easy for people to buy it right now!
That's interesting about moving the install folder... I haven't tried that. What I did do though was to uninstall Home 2.3 as I encountered the same problem and install Home Navigator 1.5. From there, you can just purchase maps of your choice. You need to link the device to a 'GO' device as they are the only models using version 7 software.
Hope this helps

Place the contents of "Intern Gegeugen" into My Device/Program Files/Navigator on the Diamond. Connect via Activeynch and finf TomTom Navigator.exe in the above folder. Right click, choose create shortcut and paste that shortcut in My Device/Windows/Start Menu/Programs and rename it accordingly.
And after that you can connect with tomtom home 2.3 (for PDA). First you choose your memory location, get an error, go back and your device is connect.
I've just given that a go and moved the install onto the internal storage. It all still seems to work ok. One question though, other than free up the main memory are there any advantages/disadvantages to running the app from internal storage? (i.e. does it run slower from internal storage etc)
I find if you install TomTom 7 on the internal storage, TomTom home 2.3 comes up with an error, installing it the the internal memory TomTom home picks it up fine.
I have tried the above, but still cannot purchase any maps. when I Click on the maps i just get the message 'No Items Available'

same for me! tomtom home recognices my device but can't really communicate with it.
i use the maps i get with me touchcruise/xda orbit2, they are version 6.75.
connected with tomtom home 1, device can get connect. i used the maps from cdrom and could install them. afterwards i activated the map on my device using my product code card, no problem :-D
Only TT home 1.5 is compatible with Navigator.
What I did was upgrade my TT6 maps to the latest then using TT home transfered the maps to the device and installed TT 7 after. works well
I changed TT6 into TT7 and I could use the same maps. All is working fine.
One question:
TT7 does not get a fix, when phone is not on. I found it today, when I use Tomtom in a car about 10 minutes. I stopped and turned phone on, so Navigator 7 got the fix easily.
I have not agps on.
In Artemis I did not find this kind of symtom with Navigator 6.
i have also tomtom 6 with maps from my o2xda2. i've installed the maps from cd over tomtom home 1.5. it installed successfully. but in tomtom 7 on my diamond i can't still use the maps.. they aren't listed in manage maps?! what do i wtong?!
please help
i don't know, i just installed tt7, not 6, then connected it with tomtom 1.5.
put the cd in and i was capable to install the maps.
yeah... i did the same! all fine! but when i start tomtom on diamond i can't change the maps. i only see the demo-map. you can?
yes, i can. i even never installed the demo map. you know that you have to choose/change map in order to see the right one?
yes i know... but there who i can change the map i see only bern (demo-city-map)!!!
Not being a SatNav user I did this
I am not really a big user of SatNav as I read the signs on the road.
However, I am a lover of toys and have always kept a copy of tomtom nearby for fun.
I installed the XDA linked TT7.cab file (11.9mb) and directed it to Internal Storage.
Then I went online and created myself a tomtom account. I went through the maps purchase wizard stating my device was a GO 720 model.
I then purchased the 7.2 Great Britain and NI Map. £29.95 - even by my standards a bargain.
I then downloaded Home 2.3 and connected my Diamond as a disk system.
When the Diamond came up it challenged me to select the location of my product and I chose Internal Storage. It then promptly through up an error message.
I did a back and continued. When I went to MAPS etc it didn't find my map. So I clicked on the Update Pocket PC icon and there was my map.
It didn't take long to download and install (161 MB ish) and now I have a working TT7 with the 7.2 map.
I could also update the Pocket PC with free voices and POI's too from the TomTom website (although I have forgotten the steps just now).
The advantage is that I have a working, reliable, sexy, copy of Tomtom 7.
The negative is that I don't seem to be able to use MAP share. This is not a big deal for me (as I never actually use Sat Nav anyway!). It didn't seem to matter once I had bought the map what I set the device to be - PDA or GO 720.
I hope that this is useful as a legitimate way of getting Tomtom 7 onto your Diamonds...and all for £29.95.
I have done this twice - once for me to play and once for the missus to actually use.
Not a bit of Warez anywhere - for 30 quid why bother with Warez?
All the best,
Sam.
I tried the above method and HOME 2.3 just said that the map i purchased was not an available device for these maps so the checkbox was greyed out...any ideas...maybe they caught on?
need a response please!

No it's not a case of have they caught on. TomTom 7 the application on a PDA is not supported on TOMTOM Home 2.3. You need to use 1.5 . This is beacause at the moment only PNA devices are supported on 2.3
The Maps which you purchace to activate with your device to make the application work have not been released yet for PDA so you have to use backwardly compatible maps . 6.75 etc until you can purchase ver 7 maps
As for Warez the licenceing is with the maps only and not the application which is available to download from TomTom . If you was to load hacked Maps then this is WAREZ as the Licence is with the maps. You can only use your brought maps with one device and that is the device you purchaced it for. Hence you get the activation number from your device as it is device specific.
You cannot if you purchased maps already from a different device use them on another device . This is the License law and you need to purchase new maps every time you cahnge device . You can email TomTom support but they will tell you the same thing.
All maps are 30% cheaper at the moment, because they'll release the new version in the beginning of August.
The 30 price reduction is not for Navigator user as I found out last month.
As for only using the Maps for one device (true in a sense) though I managed to activate via TT home my maps twice on my Trintiy (as the Device ID changed once when I flashed an early ROM and activiate the same product code again for my Diamond - which is indicated on the TTcode website as three activations.
I have purchase new 6.75 maps for my Navigator 6 and know these will work on version 7 once on general release.
I have Garmin Mobile Xt running on my Tilt, almost like it was before I flashed a new ROM. With teh old ROM everything about it worked, including being able to use a detailed map set for North America. How, I can get only the base map set to be recognized. My questions are:
1. I cannot fit the detailed map set (about 1GB) in the phone memory, it has to go on the storage card (8GB). I have tried putting it in the Garmin/Apps/WM folder (created by the Garmin install program) as well as at teh root storage card folder level. Neither works. (I also have the proper .UNL file in the same folder). How can I get the Garmin program to find the detailed map file on the storage card?
2. In the Garmin/Apps/WM folder mentioned above there are a number of cab and exe files. Do I need to run one or more of these? They are: InstallApp.exe, QuePPC.exe, QueSetupPPC.cab, and QueSetupSP.cab.
Thanks for any info.
If you don't make any change on the same old card, Garmin will stay there forever. It doesn't have any affection on flashing a different ROM.
I have some hints for you:
1. "the Garmin/Apps/WM folder" or "as well as at teh root storage card folder level" is NOT the right place. Your North America and "the proper .UNL file" must be put next to the base map in the same location. BTW, "the proper .UNL file" are more than one file.
2. No.
I'm afraid further disscussing about this will be considered as warez. Hence, good luck to you.
Thread should be locked unless you legally bought Garmin.
Kraize
Legally bought? -- I just (earlier today) downloaded Garmin Mobile XT from the Garmin web site -- there was no mention of purchasing anything (in fact the download name says "free base map" in one download. But since Gramin offers it on their web site I assume it is legal.
As I mentioned, before I changed ROM's I had this working legally (well actaully I think it was the previous Mobile XT version I had on my phone earlier), but after the ROM update it stopped working (except for the free base map). I suppose I can find my North America disk, re-install it on my desktop, and download a new map set to the storage card on the phone, but I was hoping there was a more convenient way.
Just re-read my post, you'll find the answer.
Unfortunately, Garmin XT Mobile doesn't come with DVD.
Downloading Garmin XT, tomtom application and many others is legal, unless the company mentioned differently. However, by saying that you've just download a new version of Garmin XT, is not a proof that you owned a legally map (paid for map.) Yes, Garmin does have a free base map which does not help at all unless you fly.
Changing ROM doesn't affect on Garmin because it locked to your card not to your device like Tomtom.
Well, try to make a better story next time, then.
Nghiem, you seem to want to beleive everyone is a thief. If it makes you feel better about yourself, then go ahead (that won't change reality though). Why don't you re-read what I wrote -- I said the "North America disk" --- which refers of course to the MAP -- (ya know, because North America is a PLACE), not Garmin Mobile XT (which, by the way, I already said I "dowloaded").
Anyway, no thanks to Mr. "Trusty" Nghiem, I did actually download the new map set from my (gasp!) North America disk (yes, I actually held it in my hand!) and the detailed map is now being recognized.
need to use mapintsall.
you need to use map install that is found on your disk.
that should work.
if you cant find it on your cd/dvd hopefully this works.

Click on this link https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=11413, you will clearly see what inside the box that Garmin send to buyers! And that was I bought for Middle East.
I never "want to beleive everyone is a thief" But there are some points here and there in your posts which make your claim doesn't sound right. Let me repeat myself:
1. Garmin mobile XT never locked to the device ID like TOMTOM. It locked to the card ID!
2. "the Garmin/Apps/WM folder" or "as well as at teh root storage card folder level" is NOT the right place.
3. There are more than one .UNL file.
Anyway, you've got "the detailed map is now being recognized." and now you know what I mean.
Peace out.
