There are a lot of GPS software for android. But no one can read IMG garmin format. IMG garmin format is an old format of maps and because of it's years being around there are a lot of very complete maps of different countries even there are a lot free.

For example Navigon Argentina has very bad, un-detailed maps, comparing to a free project that continuously update theirs very complete maps.

And i read out there that there are other countries in a similar situation. Nowadays IMG garmin maps are difficult to beat for some countries cause of this old projects that have become better and better over the years.

If you have other options gps softwares that has good maps i could say you are lucky. I wish there were more possibilities for Argentina.

Nevertheless always it is good to have more options, and in my opinion IMG garmin map support is a good one.

take care

i have made a guide to convert the maps to Android. i now use Navitel to use my maps.

[Android General] lanosalf:
Thanks, i already know about that. But with that conversion there are several problems:

1-There is not HouseNumber support

2-You can only do that if you have non NT IMG garmin (i.e. not protected map versions)

3-Navitel software, is very complete and nice, but yet it has lot of bugs, like memory issues, not so good route calculation, long time to calculate long routes(when there are lot of different maps involved in the calculation of the route)

BUT still, YES , Navitel is the best solution till now, I agree.

Pd: Regarding point 2: IF the img map is pseudo-NT you can still convert it using GPSmapEdit version 1.0.66.7.

GPSmapEdit don't support either NT nor pseudo-NT IMG maps cause of license issues, but pseudo-NT mas have a known decoding process. In that particular version (1.0.66.7) the GPSmapEdit owner made a mistake and it is possible to open pseudo-NT maps on it. If you try with any subsequent version it wont work.

This is a well hidden secret.
[Android General] rirozizo:
GPSMapEdit has some other map formats to export, but i only export to Navitel format mainly because i don't know what are the others for :D

but glad you liked my guide :)

Re: Finally Garmin XT for android?This time for real, using StyleTap PalmOS apps emul

I have tried this, but it doesn't work for me either. :(

Garmin XT logo and welcome screen shows, and immediately after that, the whole StyleTap app force closes as you said. (i think it's crashed)

I don't know if it is because it misses some files/folders (i tried to copy garmin folders to many places) or if just StyleTap simply can't run Garmin.

I have tried XTinstall and XTsetup apps also, maybe i can install GMXT inside StyleTap, but had no luck. :(

Anyway, if anyone has any luck with it, please post it here! :)

And for testing here is the Garmin Mobile XT 5.00.10p for Palm. (you can just simply uncompress the contents of the exe to a folder with eg. Total Commander)
[Android General] duhhh:
how to install Garmin to this emulator ?
[Android General] Archer:
I'm not quite sure how this one stayed under the radar for all this time, after all it's an old, old thread, but it's not development so shouldn't be in the development forum.

Thread moved to general, with a redirect for a while.
[Android General] Fenyo1:
Perhaps because it's originally created for Garmin software extraction from the Garmin-phone.
[Android General] rirozizo:
hmm.... actually, this is kind of a developement thread, maybe OP isn't, but the guys helped me make a guide about it.

———————————————————

i didn't mean to mock you or to offend you in any kind of way
[Android General] duhhh:
which file exactly you install,after uncompress the .exe
[Android General] Fenyo1:
I copied all *.prc (and subfolders) to StyleTap's Import folder, and only XTSetup.prc, XTInstall.prc, MobileXT.prc appeared in the main menu of StyleTap. I tried to execute all of them. I suppose XTInstall.prc is an installer application.
[Android General] lanosalf:
Sorry I've been busy.

I ask about this situation to styletap developers, see here for the complete conversation.

They say that:

So i ask them if we manage to add the missing libraries to styletap emulator, if it will work, and they answered that perhaps some libraries could work, but some other probably won't because of missing hardware.

Well you can read all of this in the link above, this is just a summary.

So i manage to extract all of the files (including the libraries i think) in the Firmware of the Lifedrive and Palm TX devices.

here they are:

Lifedrive firmware already extracted files: http://www.mediafire.com/?e6efmagt4x5qmdi

Palm TX firmware already extracted files: http://www.mediafire.com/?a3ofcc3jhbibvgu

other irrelevant info

[IRRELEVANT] The original firmware of the lifedrive can be download from the official HP/Palm site here, i extracted the files from this stock firmware.

The files from the Palm TX where extracted from a custom firmware, as never where released a firmware update for the TX.

From this forum i downloaded the custom palm TX firmware and all of the tools to be able to extract the necessary files from the firmwares. It was a little difficult but no so much...[/IRRELEVANT]

So the idea would be to put the missing libraries or whatever to the styletap emulator to make Garmin XT working.

Right now i don't have my tablet, because it was stolen, so i can't try it myself. Another guy in other forum tried it but can't make garmin xt working even adding some files from the firmwares.

Pd: there are three Garmin apps versions avalable for Palm that we can try (from new to old):

Garmin Mobile XT for Palm , Ver. 5.00.10p, as of Sep 23, 2008, Download

Garmin Mobile XT for Palm (for older devices), Ver. 4.10.30p, as of Nov 14, 2007, Download

Garmin Que for Palm OS with GPS 10, Ver. 2.20, as of Aug 05, 2005, Download

you can see this here (official garmin page)

Perhaps some of the three could work with styletap.

Pd2: it is a little tricky to obtain the *.prc *.pdb files for the QUE version so i upload the already extracted files from the Que here

The version 4 and 5 of Garmin XT are easy to extract using winrar (or you just can install it to an sdcard)

Pd3: Let me know your progress please, i will try it myself whenever i can...

yes its running..

not prefect

still trying to get my map to work..

garmap basemap is working fine

screen is about 5% up to high and to the left so the top is missing on the map

but the menus are fine i think..

i downloaded everything from mobilism

used the instructions found in there

used the 800 x 480 resaloution files...

its running, loading basemap, starting gps, finding my right location, and showing me on the basemap...

i have not messed with anything not in the instructions.

and i followed them to the letter.

im running waman rom 12.8 and i block all the things i dont want with the newest lbe security master..

this is working 95% with my sgs2 i9100 from bell canda.

and when gamin supports my android phone to work with the many maps i have bought from them

ill buy their off line map software the minute i find it.

but this is a good start for now..

btw i just finished a scan of all the files from mobilism with a fresh install and update of clamav

and nothing was found..

but your results may vary...

post them if diffrent

Instructions: (worked for me)

1. Have two micro SD cards

2. On one put the same update file that is already on your phone.

2. On the other put the new firmware you want to update to.

3. With phone off practise taking phone cover off/on and removing SD card.

4. Turn phone on with SD card that had existing firmware update on. Update notice will show and ask if you want to update - say yes, then it should say update is the same as already on your phone do you still want to update, don't accept or decline. Now quickly pull off cover and exchange SD cards and put cover back on. You may get a message about battery cover - go ok. Then the same 'do you want to update' message should appear - go ok.(you may need to pull down the yellow exclamation from the top to accept the update if the window does not show) Be patient and wait your screen will show 'verifing' then reboot and could be a black screen for 10-15 minutes. When up and running you should do a master clear as your old settings/apps will still be on phone.

Garmin StreetPilot works on HTC Sensation

If anyone is interested, I would like to confirm working Garmin StreetPilot v.2.16 on HTC Sensation. I've tested it with Android 4.0.4 and now with Android 4.1.1 as my daily driver.

I've got junction view and 3D buildings working, audio directions with street names work as well.

Any unlocked Garmin maps work, I've got North America, Europe and Asia loaded for my frequent travels. My 64GB mSD card is invaluable.

Garmin is so much better in routing and available maps especially for Asia are much more detailed than Sygic I had to use until recently.

Only major issue with this unofficial version of StreetPilot I have is that turning phone from portrait to landscape causes StreetPilot to lock-up. Minor issue is that one needs to turn the volume up at the start up of StreetPilot as the volume is always muted initially. Other than that everything works perfectly as it does on my standalone Garmin GPS device. Hopefully, rest of bugs will be worked out soon.

I really don't get it why Garmin does not offer StreetPilot officially... They are loosing so much business in my mind as for me I'll never buy another standalone GPS unit for my car once my aging Nuvi unit dies...

It´s been a while since Garmin has been available for Android already, it´s just really complicated to get it to work properly. Over three days in my case, although it was definitely worth it. Now it´s up to version 2.16, up from the 1.49 you mentioned::

The whole super complicated process and all pertinent files can be found here, note that you have to register in this board also to have full access. Good Luck! You´ll most likely need it, hehehe ;) :good:

Won't work for anyone on 4.2 and most new Android devices will ship with 4.4

I used to love having Garmin on my phone but we have to face the facts here...Garmin has decided to be a HARDWARE company with proprietary software to put on that hardware and are not interested in selling that software and hurt those device sales.

Anyone wanting a a good Nav Software for Android with Offline maps should just look into Co-Pilot which I have found is as good as Garmin and will be a breeze to update maps and use on MULTIPLE devices such as Phone and Tablet for a single purchase!

If Garmin was really interested in getting our money they would have released this software AGES ago!

My guess is they don't like the hackable nature of Android and are still stinging from all the pirating that happened to them when they released Garmin for WinMo!
[Android General] ajape:
Oh I agree completely, but the fact remains many of us invested quite a bit of time making our own maps, which we prefer to use if at all possible most of the time for many reasons, and that was only made possible by Garmin, ever. Also, remember please that the main reason for ALL of this has ALWAYS been the same: Big cartography companies ONLY make maps for RICH countries that can pay hundreds of millions in revenue. So, that has always left only GARMIN as a viable choice for GPS mapping in the vast majority of the planet. For example, my own situation, if the company that had the Garmin distribution here in the Dominican Republic had not decided to come to an additional agreement with NDrive so that they could also sell their local maps to a distributor of Android platform based solutions, I would have been stuck forever with GARMIN based mapping solutions as my only possible recourse. There is no Tom Tom, Navigon, Sygic, or anything like that for a small little country like mine and neither is there any other solution for any of the other countries in my region that are not still considered to be ultra-maritime territories of their rich European original colonizers. Thank God that wasn´t the case for my country and I finally had an additional choice! But, if you live in ANY south Asia country without a G20 Status, or anywhere in the Middle East, Sub-Saharan Africa, most of Latin America, Greenland, Iceland, any Polynesian or Micronesian nation or in any Caribbean island, you will most likely STILL be left with only Garmin as a potential GPS mapping even solution for the foreseeable future. And please remember these are also the areas in which cellular, or mobile service is NOT granted with data plans included at no cost, not gprs and much, much less 3G, so there is only a little percentage of the population that could make use of free services like Google or Waze. Me? Personally I´ve given up on Garmin quite a while ago for the most part, my daily driver for my hometown is actually NDrive, which if anyone else cares for a recommendation works absolutely fine. Cheers! :cool:
[Android General] Asphyx:
Oh I Understand and I understand why people keep looking for a way to use it. Just trying to point out unless you have a VERY compelling reason to need to use Garmin Maps there are MUCH BETTER options out there that for 99% of users do a much better job and give a much better experience than these UnOfficial hacked versions do.

I Hate the fact they have decided to stay off the Android System...But if they really don't want my money then I am happy to give it to someone who does and supports me with more features than what I had 8 years ago! LOL
[Android General] nutpants:
Rumour has it.

Garmin had a contract to not sell android street pilot software

I can't remember if it was with Asus or Acer...

But that deal has expired now, so there is a chance it will happen.

But by the time they do they will be replaced.
[Android General] ajape:
:cowboy::cool::good:
[Android General] Asphyx:

[Android General] nutpants:
You can always start supporting open street maps.

They are pretty bad in many locations, but honestly as far as I am concerned they are the future of quality free maps online and offline.

I support them as often as I can.
[Android General] ajape:
Again, the issue would be to find a good, free offline navigation app that accepted OpenStreetMaps and had routing, address search and a 3D view while having a good and beautiful interface and map view. All of this WITHOUT the need to convert the map to Garmin IMG format beforehand, which would of course end up being what you were trying to avoid in the first place and thus make the whole circular exercise oddly redundant, hehehe :cyclops::good:
[Android General] nutpants:
You can check out osmand

No 3d however.. unless you count hill shading.

Not free but, sygic is also very good it has 3D and works offline world wide free maps
[Android General] ajape:
:laugh: Again, no idea why they all say "Worldwide Maps" when they never include even half of the world, my country of course being a prime example. Sygic uses TomTom maps, for which most poor or little countries have none ;) OSMand will do in a pinch, I guess, as long as there isn´t anything else available since it will always, of course, be better than nothing at all... but seriously now, have you seen many apps that look more of a mess than that one´s interface, or that are even remotely as ugly? lol :p
[Android General] nutpants:
You can always buy a phone that Garmin supports mapping on (Windows phone and Iphone). that is always an option. But if you want free...

And to use it on a open source platform like android, you going to have to do lots of work or just use an older device with older android and get the hacked Garmin.

or shell out the money for a new Garmin android phone/GPS device.

That's the choices we are stuck with.
