Garmin fleet 790 demo

**Bushwalker8** · 9th January 2023, 08:07 AM

Working OK on a ZTE T86 with Android 10

Some quirks at least with this one so far that may help others get started:

The app needs all permissions

Needs at least initially to see satellites to get past the Garmin logo with bouncing triangle.

Any additional maps or voices added/deleted, then needs a phone re-boot after each change before they are recognized in the app settings.

Works OK with Garmin City Nav, Topo or DEM .img with any custom name in Garmin\Map.
Custom names not recognized in Garmin\System

Doesn't appear TTS voice compatible. Won't accept the newer TTS3 voices files, TTS2 & TTSv can be selected but are silent. Use VCT.

Vehicles even if selected, may need to be re-selected to actually be enabled on screen. E.g. select another vehicle then come back to select the original one you want for it to be displayed instead of the default blue triangle.

Edit: more detail on voice files

There is nothing new about this app it was already posted back in 2019

See link:

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

I have tested it back then and now and it does have its problems running outside of it's indent GPS platform.

As "Bushwalker8" points out..... a phone re-boot after each change

That is a big pain in the backside to do each time.

I think there are other apps that are missing that need to be look into.

The same way as to get traffic you need to plug in a receiver that will only work with a stand-alone unit from Garmin.

I have even deleted the GarminDivice.xml to speed things up along with the SQLite folder.
They both get rebuilt after you go into setting and stop the app.
Then restart it.

If seems to drop out each time you set a location to go to after a minute or so.

Plus putting all of Europe on a smartphone is a lot of GBs that are not needed.

Being the Monterra and Navigator Garmin Fleet 790 GPS Unit as shown in the post I included above.

Also not showing building
@Ashraf. Is it working with arabic voice and map also in english

**asprin624** · 9th January 2023, 03:41 PM

You will need gmap3d.img to show 3D buildings plus it will need to be unlocked.

As I have stopped testing this for now I will stick with TomTom NDS and not have to go through all of this works and that does not.

3D buildings are not unlocked an attempt to unlock using gimgunlock-0.04 did not bring success. It doesn't see the 3D building program.

**ashrafz** · 9th January 2023, 08:22 PM

move unlocked gmap3d.img to Garmin/map and reboot the device

**NAFANE** · 9th January 2023, 08:52 PM
