i will give it another shot but it sounds like what i have already done. bar the memory card i did it on the external one so will give it another shot!

Well as of right now, Garmin has not worked out whether the N96 is supported, however they are working on it. These are a couple things I found that might work.

Found on Nokia's support forum:
This is supposed to be the updated version.

CONNECT PHONE To PC IN MASS MEMMORY MODE 1st
download new version extract it
open folder
run setup.exe on pc while phone is connected in memory card mode and not pc suite it will install it to your card
tip install it on internal 16gb not sd it read faster I think from internal it updates what you have all ready and does not put maps in just application
then when you safe disconnect and phone reboots it will load on to phone
dont just drag sis to phone it dont work for some reason
also if you want female voice the new version doesnt have it so save the voice file from cities see the thread its easy

just received the phone today put my old version of garmin on that works fine on the N95. Seams to install fine but when i go to run it nothing happens at all

or shall i just wait for tomtom7?
