Nokia N95 Internal GPS w/ Garmin Mobile XT
Since my last post on the Nokia N95 Internal GPS, a lot of people emailed me about what they should do and how to get the files. It is quite simple to find files on some mobile forums and websites, but it requires a lot of reading and digging.
So now I am going to post this information here so people don’t have to struggle for days to make their Nokia N95 Internal GPS work for free. Last time I talked about the Route 66 software, but now I have found a better solution for your N95 GPS. It is the Garmin Mobile XT software for Symbian S60. It will also work on N82’s internal GPS too. It is far quicker and more detailed than the Route 66 that I recommended before. So here are the files and step by step guide:
Before you go at it, I have to make it clear that I did not make the files or promote the use of pirated software. This is a collection of information and intend for sharing and learning. If you like what you are using, please buy it.
1) Download the main files here.
You will need WinRAR to unpack the files. If you don’t have it, download it here.
2) Download the maps that you need. (Torrent files and they may take a while to download)
North America Map
Europe Map
Australia Map (David’s request)
After you have finish downloading the map, install the map program. (On your PC. Later you can select which
parts to transfer to phone)
edit: The map source unlock code is (GNG55 - L8WSA - S7YET - 9U246 - GJFQT) for North Ameria.
not sure about others. May also work? Google around to find others. You need to unlock the map to be able to use internal GPS.
3) Connect your Nokia N95 to your computer via USB cable, and set your phone as mass storage mode.
4) Run the support files installation that you have downloaded in the pack. It should install on your phone.
5) Run the free base map file. It should install on your phone.
5) Run the main file that says XT for Symbian S60. It should also install on your phone.
6) Now unplug your USB and run Garmin XT on your phone. The icon should be under applications some where.
7) Within the program, navigate to About page and find the CARD ID. Write down the number.
8 ) Exit the program and connect your phone again to the computer.
9) Now open keygen in the first package and enter the CARD ID and generate 2 keys. One for program, and one for map.
10) Open SW.UNL with notepad and paste your device unlock code. Save and close.
11) Open GMAPSUPP.UNL and paste your map unlocked code. Save and close. (Make sure you choose the right map that you want to install)
12) Go to your phone’s memory in My Computer. Copy the 2 files SW and GMAPSUPP inside the Garmin XT folder.
13) Open the map program on your computer while your phone is still connected. Choose the regions that you need and copy the maps to the file by following the instructions. (May take a while)
14) When that’s done, disconnect your phone and it should say Garmin XT detected, do you want to run. Choose YES.
14) Inside Garmin XT, disable bluetooth GPS and choose to use internal GPS only. Also disable GPRS support. Wait a few minutes and you should have a fully functional up to date GPS system. (Make sure you are standing outdoor if you want signal)

Personally, I am not a big fan of Nokia cell phones. However, the past few days I was busy playing with a dozen or more Nokia N95s. Why? Because I am able to provide a service everyone wants, and everyone started to approach me for such service. This ties into one of the biggest business concept ever: offer a service or product that is unique and it will generate a buzz by itself. I am not going to talk about business concepts in this post. I am going off-topic and talk about phones.
