Thread: Install Garmin Street Pilot v.2.16 Samsung Galaxy Android 4.1.2 Detailed Instructions&Pics

I'm getting a weird bug probably maybe?? because i tried to use the call function inside garmin. The contacts app on the main screen bottom keeps disappearing probably after restart. Anyone experiencing this? I hope it is not a virus.

Updated: I uninstalled Streetpilot restart the phone twice and reinstalled Streetpilot and everything seems to be ok. Whatever you do don't hit the call button in Android.

Thanks

Every Nuvi requires car power supply to last for long, SP is the same, volume is a bit buggy, but it works Waiting for a fix

Not sure what i am missing or why they missing.

I think is a memory issue, restart your phone or clean up memory with Advanced Task killer
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
before using SP and use properly unlocked maps.
Try to use original Garmin locked img and unlock ,as said, with gimgunlock

You cant stop the Warning in any Garmin device, or you click the button or it disappears in few seconds

Hi all, I have a Motorola Razr, Android 4.1.2, Rooted. I use Proyecto Mapear Maps and I had to rename IMG to gmapprom.img to be able to see the maps in SP and put it under .System folder on internal SD. Maps, voices, baterry icon and GPS are working fine. I still didn't test it deeply.
My only concert is about text, even when I used goodoane apk, I cannot make it work, I only have American English and () "Thai".
I'm asking for advise here. I tried with the libgarminos.so that come with the goodoane's apk and the one provided separately.
I don't know where settings are for text path, I guess they are in libgarminos.so.

Thanks in advance for your help and hard work, also for compiling all the information in one thread.

-----------------------
After test it a couple of days, I regret to say that once an address is entered and GPS start to navigate, application ends unexpectedly

Awesome! The app works!. However I'm having a problem, and I would be glad if someone could help me . I have a galaxy s3 with 4.1.2. The app doesn't seem to recognise my maps. My maps are a file called "gmapsupp.img", and I put it in sdcard/external_sd/Garmin/.System and it doesn't find it. I put it in sdcard/external_sd/Garmin/ and doesn't find it either. I put it in sdcard/external_sd/Garmin/ and it doesn't find it either. I am using the app Root Browser Lite to move the maps. Can someone tell me the exact folder where I should put the maps? I tried with two different libgarminos.so files, which are the ones at the 1st page, where it says:

"Here other libgarminos.so to install it in external sd card etc
external_sd.zip
storageextSdCard.rar"

(I didn't try the third one (SDCARD2.zip) because it had a password and I don't know which one it is)

If I have to use a hex editor to in a offset, so that it looks for the maps in a specific folder, please tell me which offset it is

Edit: I tried renaming the maps file to "gmapprom.img", didn't work.


Edit 2: I discovered the right folder; the problem was that the maps were in the sdcard/[...] folder, while it should have been in the extSdCard which is a completly different one. It is kind of confusing because, as you could see, the first folders I tried had in the name "external_sd" which would lead me to think that it was, indeed, the external sd but it is not, it's all the internal sd; I don't know why google or samsung designed it like that. ....

I've noticed that there are versions of the Streetpilot apk which doesn't need root. ... but... the instalation of the libgarminos.so, libgmxt.so files, the maps and everything else DO require root (in fact, to give the permisions and stuff). May I ask then, what's the point of a no root version of the streetpilot apk, if everything else still needs root? I kind of not understand that :P


I know I have just posted something above and I could just edit it to add what I asked, but it doesn't really have anything to do with my problem above so I decided to write this instead (if this is not allowed, somebody please edit this in order to fusion this message with my previous one)
