It's been requested, so here you go. Full, step-by-step.

Garmin Mobile XT GPS

Before you start:

TO DISABLE aGPS AND NOT MAKE YOUR GPS USE DATA WHEN FINDING SATELLITES, FOLLOW THIS THREAD:

http://www.lg-incite.com/lg-viewty-tips-and-tricks/disable-agps-on-the-incite-%28not-a-joke%29/

MAKE SURE YOU SOFT-RESET YOUR INCITE AFTER INSTALLING THE CAB FILE.

*I would recommend at LEAST a 2Gb memory card. The program and maps may take up to 1.5 Gigs of memory (or more) if I recall correctly. This depends on which states/countries you select.

*Turn off your incite, take out your battery, and write down your IMEI number from the back side of your phone. You will need this later.


Put your battery back in, and turn your phone back on. Plug your Incite into your USB port now.

This file is the actual program with an included keygen for the passwords and step-by-step instructions to use each:

Code:
http://www.4shared.com/file/109193163/4c6e73b1/Garmin_Mobile_XT_Incite.html

Open the step-by-step instruction file and follow the prompts. Run the install files on your computer. When prompted in the program, choose to install it on your Windows Mobile Storage Card. The rest is pretty self explanatory. EDIT: USE COYAMA'S METHOD FOR BETTER RESULTS! READ DOWN!



And you need to install the map program to get the maps. The 2009 North America map program can be found here (Download all 5 parts):
Code:
http://www.filesend.net/download.php?f=998e4434431c02018a2aaa81beb014da
http://www.filesend.net/download.php?f=2136dccbbcb74d6899c2ef02545d480a
http://www.filesend.net/download.php?f=6f3f4d1a8d6d6367bd9b357d9c228b4b
http://www.filesend.net/download.php?f=0c28caaa7a91cc9c187449b82e48c7f2
http://www.filesend.net/download.php?f=1c845f969946a7c78c3b07428f5cd689
Once downloaded, use a RAR file extractor (I use WinRAR) and extract part 1 to a folder on your desktop. The other 4 parts will be automatically extracted to the same folder as the first. You shouldn't need to do anything but allow it to happen. It may prompt you for this.

When you get the program all downloaded and extracted, open the new folder that it extracted to. Mine was named "Garmin City Navigator North America NT 2009". Navigate into the folder named "Msi" and open "CNNANT2009Update_ENU.msi". This is your install file. Open it on your computer and install it. Follow the prompts and use the earlier keygen to unlock the map file. I believe the MapSource program is the one you'll use.

A full list of other maps can be found here, but you need to register on the Noeman forums to gain access to the files:
Code:
http://www.noeman.org/gsm/maps/
ALL CREDIT FOR THE ABOVE GO TO NOEMAN GSM FORUMS, EXCEPT FOR THE HOW-TO FILE AND THESE INSTRUCTIONS. THOSE ARE MINE. =]


**ALTERNATE METHOD BY COYAMA (BETTER METHOD)**

"This is the way I installed Garmin on my Incite:
1. Install Garmin Mobile XT to Storage Card.
2. Run Garmin Mobile XT
3. Choose Connect to a Garmin GPS
4. Go to Tools->Settings->About(Push Down once)
5. Look for your "Card ID"
6. Use that to generate your code.
7. Save code in a file named sw.unl (caps or not do not matter I believe)
8. Copy sw.unl into the Garmin folder on your Storage Card."

TO LOAD THE NEW 2010.10 MAPS (credit for method to danburke888):

1. Load the garmin program as originally stated. (I did this with the 2009 map installed also)
2. Download the 2010.10 mapset from here:
Code:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=0SU4A7PZ
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=BTFZPJD0
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Q4EB7CD9
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=7KE564QL
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=IAPTZUY0
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PB509JH5
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=7OBTJVO9
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=BWQ7GYTS
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=NSB4RQJV
Open those files and extract them to a single folder with a single IMG file in it using the same method described above.
3. Connect your phone and delete the old GMAPSUPP.IMG file from your SD card's Garmin directory and replace it with the one you just extracted.
4. Use the method Coyama provided to get your Unit ID of your SD card, then type that in the top of the same Unlocker provided for the other mapsets and the original program.
5. In the unlocker's "Select Map Product" field, select <custom mapset> from the drop down menu. In the pop-up box that appears, type 450 as the FID or Map ID number.
6. Generate your unlock code and follow the original instructions with this new code as your gmapsupp.unl code.

TO LOAD THE NEW 2010.20 MAPS (credit for map image to Soverign):

Code:
http://www.mediafire.com/?l0mzvgwwlm2
http://www.mediafire.com/?tjyknjmj0go
http://www.mediafire.com/?mw4mz4zehue
http://www.mediafire.com/?zdjnzudkam4
http://www.mediafire.com/?kjwgd2htiyy
http://www.mediafire.com/?dwyttoyymtj
http://www.mediafire.com/?utmd2jnvzy5
http://www.mediafire.com/?immmtu3mtli
http://www.mediafire.com/?thymldzewmf

According to Soverign and several other users, the above map image (after downloading all parts and extracting using the normal method) shouldn't require a new GMAPSUPP.UNL file to be made. The existing one is supposed to be fine.

HAPPY GPS-ING =]]

Any other questions, just post below.

They might be on the website given somewhere, but I'm not exactly sure. :S I've never tried looking for them.

This has just made my day! Even though it took some time to install. Also is it possible to have Text-to-Speech?

MODERATOR EDIT:
Make sure you use decent English (don't use "plz", "u" or "Thanx") and make your question as clear and concise as possible. Also make sure you at least try to use capitalization and punctuation. It's easy to type and easier to read, see...

"I tried to run the file listed on this page, but on my phone an error came up.. not enough space in directory (please tell me how to change directory ) I have 4gb card, it's really empty too. I need help...  If there is another link please post it or please post it step by step instructions if you can. Thank you."

It's not perfect, it doesn't have to be. But it is readable and is well within the rules.

Coldrain, when you run the software, make sure your memory card is in the phone and is readable by the phone. Make sure you choose "Windows Mobile Storage Device" or something similar to that when you are given the list of places to install the software. You do NOT want to install it on the device itself. It won't work.

Im sorry to have to ask a question because it seems you have all answered practically every possible question but her it goes. I installed the program and it finds the base map and the detailed maps and i can connect to my garmin gps recv but i would like to use the internal gps recv. It still asks for a code to use the internal recv and says connection to garmin device only. when u create the sw.unl does it say sw.unl.text. that what mine says.

No, take off the ".txt" at the end and change the file type to ".unl" =] That makes it an unlock type file, not a text file. When it asks you if you want to change the file name extension and tells you that it may become unusable, make sure you choose "Yes".
