3) Baud Rate : 9600 ( works ok with me !!! )
4) Enable Manage GPS automatically ( Click ON )

Under Garmin XT - Click signal bar ( top left icon ) 

1) MAKE SURE its COM7 : COM7
2) IF NOT then click disable button
3) Click Use serial GPS - set it to COM 7
4) Then Enable it back.
5) Click View Map then wait for few minutes ( cold start time frame ) .......should be OK !!!

Garmin Mobile XT for Omnia 2

Garmin is one of the best GPS Navigator used by many drivers around the world. Their software is much better than MapKing or AGIS for Singapore and Malaysia.

Step 1: installing Garmin

1. Download Garmin Mobile XT to your computer.
2. Connect to Active Sync
3. Install the Garmin Mobile XT from your computer

Garmin Mobile XT Installer is normally a exe file and therefore must be install from your computer via Active Sync.

Step 2: KeyGen to unlock Garmin

1. Open Garmin XT on Omnia 2
2. Launch Garmin, go to Settings -> About (Make note of your UNLOCK ESN .WRITE IT SOMEWHERE.THIS IS YOUR UNIT ID)
3. Launch the Garmin keygen (u can find it), and type in your "UNIT ID" in the bar
4. Hit the first generate button to generate device unlock key.
5. Copy this code to a new.txt file. Then save
6. Rename the .txt file to sw.unl (be carefully not txt extension but unl)
7. Put sw.unl file inside Garmin folder and restart Garmin (Now on Garmin will recognize your inbuilt gps)

Please skip Step 2 if you have purchased or owned a Garmin Mobile XT copy.

Step 3: Installing Map

1. ONLY three names are available so as to be recognized by Garmin: gmapprom.img, gmapsupp.img or gmapsup2.img. (Gmapbmap.img is the base map of whole world so don't use this name except if you don't want a base map). So use one of these names for the maps. So only three different named maps can be used at the same time.
2. Copy .img file to Garmin Folder

Step 4 :Unlock Map

You need to unlock the map in order for you to use on Garmin Mobile XT. If you do not unlock it, Garmin Mobile XT will not recognize the map. You can either use KeyGen or purchase a copy at the Garmin Store. The step I am writing is for Singapore users but overseas users may use it as long you can obtain your country map and the map unlock code.

Singapore Users can obtain the Singapore Map from MalSing and use it on your Garmin Mobile XT.
