The Program file as of GarminXT itself, right?
No...Even installing the Basemap also done well.
Weird, first I thought the file was corrupted, so I downloaded it again from Garmin site...but still got the same error

The file is added with the support file installation.

@niera7, try using a card reader when installing, or alternatively extract the installer (using WinRar or similar) and copy and paste manually \Garmin folder from extracted \GMobileCard folder to \Garmin folder in data card.

I just do trial and error now...
And just continue install the Garmin on my phone...
Seems like there is no voice for the program,..thought might be caused by the error before...?
I'm still testing to see whether its working or not....

And same with previous post by one of the member, stucked at step
Step 15 - Go to Applications >Garmin Mobile XT >Settings >System >Remote GPS >Select ‘Use Attached/Built-in GPS’ >Enable and it’s all done.

Instead of "Use Attached/Built-In GPS", i have option as:-
1) Use Bluetooth GPS
2) Use GPS Intermediate Drive
3) Use serial GPS (got COM1, COM3, etc)
which one should I choose? Or I've done something wrong ?

and, i'm using LG GM730 btw...

The above refers to GMXT Symbian S60 version.

If your's is a full version, just select "Enable" and GMXT will auto-connect.

Quite a few reviews are mentioning the availability of GPS+A-GPS (also in some regions it comes with TomTom navigation software), perhaps LG forgot to include it in the specs. :-k
