Sat Nav for the N95 8gb

[Lordhawkwind]

Other than the Nokia application is there another sat nav that will work with the internal gps on the 8gb model.

I have spoken to Garmin and they have no plans to support it and I've looked on the sites for co-pilot, navigon and they all require SD cards.

So has anyone managed to get a sat nav other than Nokia's working on the N95 8gb.

Cheers

:mad:

[Richdog]

Err... Garmin Mobile XT DOES supports the internal GPS... im using it on my N82. :)

EDIT - Sorry yes, you will need an SD-Card though I think. That's why I would never buy a phone that couldn't take memory cards, it's a complete pain in the arse.:(

[ez2remember]

There is no problem with Garmin on n95 8GB either. The 8GB storage ACTS exactly like an external memory card. The only difference is you don't have a slot to insert/remove.

Please don't confuse people about built-in memory. You can connect the device via USB which will see the 8GB storage like external memory card ( e: ).

You can install Garmin via USB so can tomtom, route66 etc. Anyway why would you only want the software supplied on a "small" memory card? You have the hassles of swapping it out with your bigger memory card.

[Spooks121]

It works fine on the 8GB like @ez2remember said.
Richdog's thinking was wrong :lick:

[zubairhussain]

are there any free sat nav softwares that will work???

[Spooks121]

Does this work:

I actually rang Garmin and specified my N95 8GB and was told it would not work!! and they had no plans to support it!!! It did sound like a scripted answer to an oft asked question.

If you say it works on your N95 8GB I'll give it a go.

Cheers

Try this link. Download the symbian version and see if it works. E-mail me at d********@***** if you need full instructions on how to get it to work.

[Deathangel]

Ez2, should this download straight to my phone or will I have to transfer it from a pc?

[ez2remember]

Download to PC and launch from PC. Make sure your phone is connected in mass storage mode and it will install to your phone. Also check your email. Sorry for the late reply.

[deanio]

I use Route 66 and it works great.

Hello ex2remember

I have downloaded and installed the software on my Nokia N95 (many thanks). Please can you email me (Click on my profile) the instructions on what to do next as I can't email you.Many thanks.

Will look forward to hear from you.

[Deathangel]

Hello Ez2remember, thanks for the reply. I've updated my email address now. Just downloaded garmin from your link and installed on my phone.
I'm just trying to get the program to locate the internal gps... so far it hasn't found it but I've only been looking for 30 seconds with my gf looking, annoyingly, over my shoulder.lol

[Wildgoose]

So far, I successfully installed the software onto my N95, however I'm having trouble finding internal GPS, plus no maps are included.:(

Do you need to find GPS first, before you use Garmin's online content?

[Bridex]

N95 std + N95 8gb, SYGIC will work with built-in GPS, (not quite as good as TT, but getting there) google it!!

[Deathangel]

I've installed Garmin from the link on this thread but I can't find my internal gps. Any help would be appreciated.
Also will I need another download for maps and for speed cameras?
Thanks

[ez2remember]

If you guys want the instructions please leave your email. I can't do much without it. ;)

DeathAngel where is your updated email?

Wildgoose your email is not in your profile.

[Wildgoose]

Sorry ez2member, click my profile again and download my contact card,my email address will be included.

[ez2remember]

You have mail. :)

[Deathangel]

Thanks.

[ez2remember]

You also have mail. :)

[engineer]

I am also having problems with internal GPS:confused:

[Deathangel]

Thanks eZ2remember

[Wildgoose]

I am also having problems with internal GPS:confused:

Have you added both SE.UNL and GMAPSUPP.UNL files to your Garmin folder?
If so, then go to Tools on your phone menu, click File Mgr, find and click on Garmin folder then highlight both SW & GMAPSUPP UNL, delete the .txt at the end of both files.
Restart Garmin and away you go.:D

[joe3400]

Hi all, I would like to ask if it is possible to use the internal GPS with TT6.
Your views as always are much appreciated.

Joe

[demason]

Hi ez2remember,

I have downloaded the software from the link you mentioned and I'm having problems installing could you please drop me a mail with instructions.

Thanks

David

[ez2remember]

Need a new email address because the one in your profile bounced back. It probably didn't like the attachment. :D

[Rajiput]

I can confirm that I have garmin mobile xt working on my n95 8gb from three, was hell to install as i had to use parallels - i had to make sure parallels recongnised the n95 before mac os x otherwise iphoto would load and blah blah eventually cause me to run out of paracetamols.

[demason]

Thanks ez2remember
I have entered a new mail address on my profile and hope this one works.
Thanks
David

[josewick]

ez2 can you please can you email me instructions on how to install the software. I have 8 gig n95 thanks. Joe. japcars@gmail.com

[demason]

Thanks ez2remember.
It all works now. Just one thing, it uses a lot of space on my memory card so i'm going to get an 8 gig card. Will it still all work if i copy the whole of my current memory card to a new one?
David

[paulcollins10]

Quick question regarding Garmin XT if i may?


I've followed the installation instructions, got everything up and working (detailed maps etc) BUT now when i plan my route and hit go i get the message "Waiting for better GPS accuracy" with a yellow bar that fills to about 90% and then stops. Even after leaving it for 25-30 minutes nothing happens (this whilst in the car).

Can anyone suggest anything i can try ???

Thanks in advance

[ez2remember]

@demason - yeah it should work but if it doesn't you can go through the installation process again.

@josewick - you don't have no email in your profile.

@paulcollins10 - Not sure what the problem is. I don't have any issues. I suppose you could backup your phone. Format the memory card, hard reset your phone and reinstall Garmin again.

[josewick]

ez2

my email is

japcars@gmail.com

thank you very much

[ez2remember]

Do you have another email address? The email is just forwarded to you but bounced back. It probably doesn't like the attachment. :D

[josewick]

sorry. Can you try josewick@hotmail.com thanks

[jonnyb1103]

Download to PC and launch from PC. Make sure your phone is connected in mass storage mode and it will install to your phone. Also check your email. Sorry for the late reply.

Hi ez2remember can you also send me an email with links, i'm also having problems.
Thanks

[Backman]

Ez2remember please add your email address to this thread, as everybody is going to post "please send it to me" and this thread will just go on forever.

Thanks

[ez2remember]

Okay, diamondmailbox@yahoo.com :)

[allanmcm]

hey guys, i get my 8gb n95 tomorow and i heard when i use the gps theres a cost involved, is there anyway to use it for free? am not the best at this kinda thing so thanks for any help in advance. allan

[confused monkey]

Hi all.

Just been skimming through this thread. ex2remember, you said to download the symian version from the link before. There are 4 downloads mentioning symbian there. Probably me being stupid but would appreciate some help, like many others have asked of you!!

[ez2remember]

Pick the latest version. ;)
For some strange reason there are two identical links for the latest version.

You will also need to DL the basemap and support files then email me (a few post above) for instructions.

I think this is the last help here. Too many requests. lol

If you need instructions just email directly.

[confused monkey]

Did anyone who tried this actually get it working after all?

I cannot get the detailed maps to appear and it sends me to garin.com :(

[AirzN70]

Can you send me full instructions of what to do, even downloading it. My email adress will be on my profile.

[confused monkey]

I have the instructions but so far it hasn't worked so probably no the best one to talk to just yet. Just want to know if anyone who tried this already got it working....

[rank1]

Yeah i got mine to work yesterday, not without a few set up problems though!

Did a round trip from home to south west scotland and it was almost spot on. About 95% accurate with location of car on road. Still a great program to have nonetheless.

The two main problems I had when setting it up were ...

1) Garmin could not find internal GPS... but this was resolved by restarting the prog after replacing the SW.UNL and GMAPSUPP.UNL files. Oh and going into settings/system and making sure internal GPS was selected in the first menu.

2) When trying to actually use the software it came up with an error about detailed maps... This was my fault as I had installed "Europe" map not "UK+Scotland" D'oh! So once this was installed, and the GMAPSUPP.UNL file replaced, it worked fine.

A previous poster said they had a problem with a message saying "waiting for better GPS" or something... mine does that too.. but as long as its in clear view of the sky, and weather permitting it should find it within a minute max. Make sure assisted GPS is turned on. That's all I can think of.

[confused monkey]

rank1, The problem i have is the 2nd problem you had but I dont seem to have the option for uk+scotland.

I am also trying to use the europe map which is obviously causing my problem. Where can I get the uk+scotland map from?

Thanks in advance....

[StuFuzz]

hey guys, i get my 8gb n95 tomorow and i heard when i use the gps theres a cost involved, is there anyway to use it for free? am not the best at this kinda thing so thanks for any help in advance. allan

The cost is negligable a connection is made only until gps is locked thereafter your flying on gps only. If you lose connection it reconnects. It helps but can be turned off but you might be waiting for a minute or two longer without it.

[confused monkey]

Seems that link was removed. I understand why though. Any other way i can get hold of it?

[rank1]

*sigh*

Google is your friend confused monkey.

[cuekid]

I would like to say a BIG THANKS to ez2remember for helping me get garmin up and running on my 8 gig:D

[confused monkey]

I am up and running now too. Cheers rank1, took a bit of seacrhing but I got there.

[confused monkey]

On another note, does anyone know haow to get it to search postcodes?

Would be much more useful that way!!

[StuFuzz]

I thought I'd found it the other day but it wasn't what I thought. I still can't find the postcode search option :(

[confused monkey]

I read another thread that says something about using city navigator maps.

Does anyone know if this will work before I mess up what has taken me an age to get working?

[rank1]

Go to

"Where to?"

"Addresses"

"Spell country" (england i presume?) lol

then the next options are:

"Search all cities"
or
"Spell city/Postal code"

:D

[StuFuzz]

I dont have that available it just says spell city?

[rank1]

Might be a different version of the software ? :s not sure...

Have you tried just putting the post code in where it says "spell city" ?

[confused monkey]

I tried that yes and it says not found.

I'm sure it is because I dint have the city navigator maps though, google here I come....

[DJLaineY]

is it possible someone can help me to set up the garmin thing....
iv installed it etc... but got lost at part one...
its defo installed... i just dunno why people are talking about changing certain files etc...

thanks guys in advance its much appreciated

[confused monkey]

rank1, how large was the map file you used?

the one I used was 200mb ish. The city one seems to be about a gig!

[DJLaineY]

i keep getting no gprs device found what should i do?

[rank1]

The UK+Scotland one is about 100mb i think...

[confused monkey]

Ok, Its anoying that I cant get the url for that download.

Will keep hunting.

[cuekid]

Give me a shout if you find it please cm, the postcode search is a must for me. Thanks.

[confused monkey]

dj....if you go into the garmin and look in the settings you will see something that will set it to use internal gps. If you done the other stuff then it should work.

[rank1]

I cant post the link to the site which I used that gives a step by step guide with installing garmin coz the post will just get deleted straight away.

All I can say is that its not too hard to find on google.

[confused monkey]

Thats how I found it yeah.

On a slightly different note....I wanna get my hands on the fifa game that came on my n95 but cant find that same one and ngage dont work yet.

Anyone found where to buy this?

Cheers
