Computer requirement (for the installation purpose):
- IBM-compatible PC running Windows XP or later operating system

Phone requirement:

- Storage card (Around 250MB, for core and map is sufficient, but it will be better if you have larger capacity)
First, you need to download the Garmin Mobile XT unit software. Download it here.
There are many type of unit software to be downloaded. You need to choose the file that suitable for your mobile phone; in this case you will need Garmin Mobile XT for Windows Mobile. Agree with the Software License Agreement and download the software.
You will also need basemap and support file. Download it here.
Now, you already have all the 3 files. Plug in your USB and computer. Make sure that you are connected via Microsoft ActiveSync.
Run the unit software installer (in my case GarminMobileXTforWindowsMobile_5XXXXX.exe). Click “Setup”.
When the wizard asks where the installation directory is, choose “My Storage”.
Repeat the same procedure for both basemap and support file. Now, you’re done..?
No! Not yet. You need a map for your Garmin to be fully functional. You can easily get the map by buying from Garmin or other Garmin fan software for free.
