Thanks for your suggestion, it's solved after I instal a different keyboard. Now I can type multiple characters on the search bar of StreetPilot.

tested and working like a charm on sgs2, root, Omega rom v.23.
In my opinion the explanation is a bit fuzzy, so here is a more "streamlined" version of the install process:

Install Garmin Street Pilot 2.16 APK on a rooted phone, don't run!

- open Root Explorer and copy libgarminos.so to root/data/data/com.Garmin.Android.apps.gmobilext/lib/ (if not present create this directory)
- copy libgmxt.so to root/system/lib/ (be sure your system partition is remounted for read and write.)
- Modify permissions:
Read permissions: user, group and other
Write permissions: user
- Root\sdcard\Garmin\Map (put any .img inside, create dir if necessary)
- Root\sdcard\Garmin\.System\JCV
- Root\sdcard\Garmin\voice (.vpm formats only!)
- Root\sdcard\Garmin\.System\POI
- Root\sdcard\Garmin\.System\GPX

to add “address” search in the “where to” menu: add shortcut (bottom of page), search

I would be very happy to have a recepie similar to this one for unrooted galaxy phones. I tried for my sgs2 with no result so far.

Hi there, thanks for the great work !

My path is:


/mnt/external_sd

Can´t find the right version here- can anyone help me ?


And if I got the right version, do I need to install ist like written in Post 1 ?

Thank you in advance !

Okay i've read through both the 4.0.4 thread and this thread regarding installation of StreetPilot. I've got it running on my Galaxy Note with just the resolution off a bit. However I'm trying to install onto my Asus Nexus 7 and it opens up to System Initializing then backs out to the home screen. SP stays running in the background, but each time i try to open it goes back to home screen. Is this due to the Tegra chipset and if so is there a work around?

Hello,

Iám sorry did I ask the wrong question ?
