Hi guys .. just wandering if anyone her uses Garmin Mobile XT on their Samsung i780?   

I have mine installed with the software for GPS Navigation purpose and funny thing is I always get this prompt message as below.

  Garmin Mobile XT

  The latest version of the Garmin Mobile XT software is already installed on the handheld. Do you want to run it?

  Yes         No

This prompt message keeps appearing with no fix interval and no matter what my choice of selection is, either Yes or No, it will still appear.

It's not like there is anything wrong with it but it just gets annoying after some time. Hope someone can share their experience with me. Thanks.

Try renaming the "2577" directory on your storage card to something else (e.g. 2577.garmin) disable the auto install.

You could also just delete the folder.. I've done that several times and it works just fine.

True, but that then makes it harder to reinstall if you regularly switch devices or applications, or need to restore after a hard reset. That's why on my SD card I keep 2577.garmin, 2577.copilot. and 2577.ttn, plus a directory with CAB files for all my other favourite apps.

Thanks      It works and there is no more irritating message asking to run Garmin every on and off interval.

All you have to do with Garmin XT is insert the card and it installs itself (hence this thread). Assuming you have the legitimate version of course. If not, then we can't advise you here, you'll just have to Google.
