No machan, they don't remove GPS module from phones physically. what they do is release a separate Firmware for that country without GPS support. (Example: in Nokia phones in India FM transmitter equipped phones are prohibited to use but when you change the product code [which is specific to that country] to different country code Ex: EURO-1, and update the firmware again then the transmitter will get enabled)
The software that i posted here is worked by using GPS satellite signals. GPS is a free service. to understand more about this please read this or this.

eth map eka load wenne na ne
map eka load wena thana yatin "no map" kiyala watenawa.
Map Eka Rename karada? you have to rename the map which is downloaded from
http://rapidshare.com/files/61579171/SriLanka.img to gmapprom.img. extension has to be .img machan. Then copy gmapprom.img file to E:\Garmin in your mobile phone
Here's the workaround again..
INSTALLING GARMIN XT MOBILE
1)Download Garmin XT From this link
http://www.garmin.com/software/GarminMobileXTforSymbianS603rdEdition_50050.exe
2) Just copy Garmin and other folders using provided application. (Just run exe file, please make sure to plugged your mobile through Data cable
and it's in USB Mass storage Mode)
3) After copying, install the Garmin.sis file from phone using your phones built in file manager or similar (This should be locate inside E:\Garmin folder in your phone (Make note: E: is your Mobile phones Memory Card)
UNLOCKING GARMIN XT MOBILE
1) Open application on mobile
2) Launch Garmin, go to Settings -> About (Make note of your UNLOCK ESN .WRITE IT SOMEWHERE.THIS IS YOUR UNIT ID)
3) Launch the garmin keygen (its in the zip), and type in your "UNIT ID" in the bar
4) Hit the first (top most) generate button to generate device unlock key.
5) Copy this code to a new.txt file. Then save
6) Rename the .txt file to sw.unl (be carefully not txt extension but unl)
7) Put sw.unl file inside Garmin folder in your phones memory card and restart Garmin (Now on Garmin will recognize your inbuilt gps)
INSTALLING MAPS
1)Download Sri lanka Map From
http://rapidshare.com/files/61579171/SriLanka.img
2) ONLY three names are available so as to be recognized by Garmin: gmapprom.img gmapsupp.img or gmapsup2.img. (Gmapbmap.img is the base map of whole world so don't use this name except if you don't want a base map). so use one of these names for the maps. So only three different named maps can be used at the same time.
2)Rename Supplied Sri Lanka Map to gmapprom.img
3) Then copy gmapprom.img file to E:\Garmin folder which is located inside your mobile (Make note: E: is your Mobiles MMC, it might be different in your phone)
UNLOCKING MAPS
Sri Lanka Map is already Unlocked so no need to go beyond this step.

ow machan okkoma hari.. eth wada na ne.. gps hondata active area ekak wenna onada?
Ow Machan First time GPS signals load wenna wela yana nisa wennathi ehema watenne (That the map is not available). just give it some time and see. first sync wenakota ohoma wenawa. cos phone doesn't know the location your in to synchronize with the map. so let it scan for at least for couple of minutes. Walakulu wadinum thawath wela yay. (Note: It doesnt work inside buildings etc. and needs a bit of a clear sky)

Yes machan. and do remember that GPS signals are weak inside buildings. it might take several minutes to lock with GPS satellites even in a clear day. once it get locked on with GPS satellite it'll work under normal conditions (Example: Rainy or cloudy day, inside a car etc)

chk gps port, chk map instalation path, chk validity and activation of the software. danushka asela sounds like he made it and he is telling the right way to install and activate garmin with sl maps. im sure garmin will work in sl
Glad to know it worked for you. I Downloaded it through another forum. there's no Labels for Cities. that's the main issue. but route numbers are there (A9, A4 etc). Google maps required Active GPRS/HSDPA connection. that's not required in here cos this is a pre-loaded map.

I too have the SL map loaded on to my Nokia E66. Only the first letter of the location names are given. When the same map is displayed on mapsource software the locations are clearly given. What could be the reason for this. Maybe we have to change some setting on the phone.
Yep, i have the same problem. (City labels and street labels not rendering correctly) i think it has something to do with the Map. guess it has some incompatibility with the version of Garmin we are using. even i tried above map loaded with Mapsource and it shows labels perfectly. but not in the phone.
