But at least the POI icons show up when nearby.Click 1471 version v4.10.00w environment Windows 2000/XP filesize 58.43 Mb filename garminmobilextforwindowsmobile_41000w.exe updated time brand Garmin category GPS and Navigation type hardware product 1 model license Software file format PDF Document title for Windows Mobile with GPS 20 software summary Garmin Mobile XT for Windows Mobile with GPS 20 software v4.10.00w. I have not figured out how to get Tour Guides with circular proximity working in it like they do on my nuvi. But writing a POI file right to SD with card reader worked. PS: Palm Desktop did not know what to do with a POI file when poiloader handed it a file as an iQue. The 10x works with nRoute too, but only after I added its map unlock codes to Mapsource. Mine came with City Nav NT 2008 and Garmin gave me free unlock code for 2009 maps (already had 2008 disk and 2009 update DVD from eTrex). But if installed on a Smartphone with built-in GPS, the maps would likely be locked to that phone. I don't know if the program itself is actually locked (since it can be updated), but maps are locked to a specific GPS device, in my case the Bluetooth 10x that came with it. So I am running Mobile XT with its data on a totally different card. Garmin specifically warns not to mess up data on the card. I have Garmin Mobile 10 for Smartphones which makes my Palm TX look like a nuvi. Why does everyone who has never used it think Mobile XT is locked to a specific memory card, or are some versions? I suspect that is because maps preinstalled on microSD are locked to that card. (It's really cool to watch your location in GMM Satellite View) For now, Google Maps for Mobile is good enough as a backup to my Nuvi. Even just swapping cards wouldn't have worked very well with the Touch since the battery compartment has to be opened to get to the micro-SD card. 2GB is awfully small, considering smart phones usually double as MP3 players, are used for downloading email, etc. It is unfortunate that Garmin Mobile XT is locked to its card. The upside is you can get a decent Smartphone for very little money, in my case an HTC Touch for $50 which would have normally cost upwards of $350.
The downside is that a 2-year contract extension is needed. I've been a loyal customer of a major wireless carrier, and every two years they allow a phone upgrade with substantial discount and rebate. Unfortunately smart phones are expensive without a plan. access to emergency wireless 911, if necessary In fact, I may not even subscribe to a cell phone plan.
