Pre-requisite - a signed copy of Virtual Key software ([Only registered and activated users can see links] are.by.Luomao2000.rar)

Obtain a copy of the latest GMXT for Symbian, currently version 5.00.20, dated 21 November 2008 : search on forum
Install GMXT, but do not launch it yet.
Download and install the Virtual Key software as described above. Install it to the memory card. DO NOT install to phone memory.
Launch Virtual Key from your Applications folder. Then, exit it by choosing “Options” - “Exit”. This will create the necessary configuration directory for Virtual Key on your memory card.
Download the rar file.
Connect your 5800 to your computer using mass storage mode. The memory card will now be seen as a hard disk.
Open the file downloaded in step 5 above, and drag/copy “custom1.keymap” and “default.keymap” to the memory card’s “e7d61da9” subfolder under the ”private” folder.
Launch Virtual Key again. This time, tap “Options” - “Load mode” - “Custom mode 1″. You will see some settings magically appear.

Tap the white right arrow next to the “Settings” tab.
Now, check that under the “Include” tab, “GMobile XT” appears in the list. If you get the “Exclude” tab instead, tap “Options” - “Change mode” - “Include” to make the “Include” tab appear.

To be safe that Virtual Key has saved all your settings, tap “Options” - “Save as” - “Custom mode 1″. Then to load the new settings, tap “Options” - “Load mode” - “Custom mode 1″.
So, to recap, the green button acts as the left soft key, the red button acts as the right soft key and your camera button will allow you to choose the next item down when you press it once.

Now, tap “Options” - “Run in background” as in the screen below.

The entire Virtual Key screen will now disappear into the background, never to be seen again until you utter the words “Shazam kalazam horny dog”. Go on, try it. It works
Now, launch GMXT to proceed with language selection and complete the GMXT setup. So, to recap, the green hardware button (ie. make call button) now acts as the “Yes” or to open menus. The red hardware button (ie. make call button) now acts as the “No” button or “Back” button. Geddit?
In GMXT, find out your card ID in the “Settings” - “About” screen after you tap the spanner/wrench icon, to create a software unlock file. Quit GMXT. Place this unlock file in the “garmin” directory, and restart GMXT and you will be able to select “Use Attached/Built in GPS” when you tap the spanner/wrench icon and go into the “Settings” - “System” - “Remote GPS” menu.
Remember, the Virtual Key program must run in the background while you use GMXT. If it is closed, it cannot send the emulated hardware key presses to GMXT and you’re screwed, as in screwed before you came to this site. Once you’re done with GMXT, you can close/exit the Virtual Key program as well, it is no longer needed and just takes up precious memory.

Select Mass storage.

is there any custom map setting using volume + and - beside Camera button for scroll down?

sometime i want to capture my location using ScreenSnap ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) but it wont capture the screen, unfortunately ScreenSnap also use Camera button, which used by VirtualKey

There is a configuration file that uses vol + and vol- but there is a problem.
To go down u have to hold up and pres down, to go up hold down and press up. I don't know why but it only works this way and it is dificult to use while driving. I will post it when i get home.

Permission denied to download. Any ideias?

Garmin version 5.00.30 and 5.00.40 are fully compatible with 5800 touch screen. Use one of them, they are here on forum.

That´s why really i need virtual key, a friend mine has one 5800 BLack, but it have some issues on touch screen, it dont pass at first screens (language selection, next button dont work), he have tried both versions you mencioned, but he still have a problem on touch.

I have a red one, and running G 5.040 flawless.

Maybe could be some incompatible or him fault..
Anyway tks for replay.

same here both verion 5.0040 and 5.0030 on nam 5800 vw v 20.2.214 cant get passed the language screen ... the touch buttons work fine for scrolling through languages but next button does not work.. any ideas.

got virtual key working once i got my cert .. this russion virtual key is better as it lets you enter numbers to put addresses in also.. i use the normal virtual key above to enable the left and right button and this one when i need to enter an address. hopefully garmin will have new version that fixes the issues

the right menu button is exit but leave running
and the bottom of left menu is close..

Absolutely dreadful tutorial,quite frankly the worst i have ever seen.I appreciate the fact that this guy posted this,but who ever wrote it,he should think twice about writing a tutorial again.

He inserts pictures of the virtual key set up,which is fairly logical and easy and goes on about this GMXT app as if everyone is familiar with,without posting pictures,when they are absolutely crucial.

Rubbish...

why are you even reading this anymore.. this app is no longer necessary for garmin since ver 500.30 latest is 5.0050 and it is full touch capable so virtual key is no longer needed.

You're absolutely right.
