Does anyone know how to get Garmin mobile XT on a Dell X51v to run with a Holux 236.
It rather looks as if it is locked into only being usable with a Garmin BR receiver.
Any ideas please. |

That is exactly how it is. Garmin maps are tied to a Garmin GPS Receiver. That is how Garmin circumvents piracy. _________________ Tim |

Seems a shame Tim.
The software looks pretty good but Im sure it must put people off like myself who already have servicable kit.
My son is using it on a phone with built in GPS so I cant see the point of limiting it on a PDA.
I do actually have two Garmin GPS units, an old GPS 2 and a 60 CSx which work OK hard wired in with other programs.
Silly of Garmin to limit it to their own BT unit. |

It is possible to use the in built gps (or indeed any gps unit) with wm5/6, i know as i use it.
As above post, you buy the sd card version (I got mine from expansys) plug it in a volia the internal gps now works. (only problem is 1gb expansion is a bit small) |
