    • Garmin Mobile XT Free Basemap
    • Garmin Mobile XT Support Files
  3. Go to Free Malaysia and Singapore GPS Map @ Malfreemaps.
  4. Download the latest version of the map file.
  5. Connect your Nokia 5800 XM to the PC via USB cable.
  6. When prompted, select "Mass Storage Mode".
  7. Run the downloaded Garmin Mobile XT for Symbian 3rd Edition and follow the instructions to install directly to your Nokia 5800 XM.

  14. You should have received your device unlock code from the manufacturer of Garmin, however if you haven’t, there are instructions on the Internet to guide you on how to get yours.

  15. Copy the device unlock code and paste it in a notepad, then save the file as SW.UNL

  20. Go to Applications > Garmin Mobile XT > Settings > System > Remote GPS > Select ‘Use Attached/Built-in GPS’ > Enable and it’s all done.
  21. Wait for satellite signal to strengthen and then you can start navigating.

    Hello, I've recently installed Garmin XT Mobile into my Nokia 5230 and I have a track available in Tools/Manage My Data/Tracks/View saved Tracks. I want to follow this track like if it was a route. Do you know if it is possible? Probably converting it somehow to route? This track goes both on road and off-road.

      Hi lilfoo, you are trying to backtrack your route for hiking or biking i assume. I have never use GarminXT for that purpose before. I apologize for uable to give you this info. Perhaps you might want to try ViewRanger. I use it for my hiking trips. It uses less battery power if you tweak it properly.

Mounting NFS share directory from D-link DNS 320L on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Image
Seems like the steps on how to get the NFS mount point from the D-Link DNS 320L NAS server were not properly documented in their user manual. After setting up and enabled the NFS service on the D-Link DNS 320L NAS server, I went ahead to setup and mount the share directory/folder in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS assuming the mount point in NAS was /Volume_1/... but that is not the correct mount point to start with! Found this answer from D-Link forum post from a member (ba43123) that helped me to correctly mount the NFS share directory/folder on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS: After spending most of the last hour on the phone with D-Link Technical Support, I came away with the recommendation to take my Mac (which has successfully connected to a number of NFS shares in the past) to Apple to determine if the network settings for NFS are correct.  This is mostly due to the fact that the people who are taking the calls have no information about NFS in their scripts and Knowledge Base so they are at a total loss...
