Recently I got a Chinese PNA as a free gift out of another big purchase. It runs on WinCE 5.0 Build 1400.
I installed GMXT .30w ASN and would like to share what I discovered and the workaround that worked for me.
It may also work for you if you suffer the same problems like mine.
BTW, GPS could not be detected by Garmin initially but later it was solved by using the "Invalid_Id" solution.
The problems & the workarounds:
1) Upon exiting Garmin, "toolhelp.dll missing" error message appeared.
I discovered from MortScript manual and came to realize that my Chinese PNA is a "stripped down" WinCE device and "toolhelp.dll" is missing. Therefore, MortScript functions 'Kill' and ProcExists cannot be used.
I made modification to "Garmin.mscr" by replacing:
If(ProcExists("explorer.exe"))
Kill("explorer.exe")
EndIf
with this:
Run("\windows\explorer.exe")
Sleep 1000
Close(ActiveWindow())
2) Make Changes to Settings Stay (eg Chinese - > English lang)
The key to solve the problem is to get SDMMC and stick it in this Chinese PNA. By installing Garmin in ResidentFlash, changes to the Settings would not stay.
Once Garmin was installed in \SDMMC\Garmin, I noticed after few trying & observations that the Settings files were placed in \SDMMC\Garmin\Garmin ... Hmmmm ... and not in device root directory \Garmin. By this time, changes I made in Settings now stayed as configured.
This is the modified 'Garmin.mscr" that works for me:
Errorlevel("warn")
If(WndExists("Garmin Mobile XT"))
Show("Garmin Mobile XT")
Exit
EndIf
#Run explorer.exe and wait a second
Run("\windows\explorer.exe")
Sleep(1000)
#Hide Taskbar
Run(SystemPath("ScriptPath")\"TaskbarHide.exe")
#Run Garmin Mobile XT.
#This script will not go to the next command before que.exe completely shut down
RunWait(SystemPath("ScriptPath")\"..\Apps\WM\que.exe")
#Run & close explorer.exe
Run("\windows\explorer.exe")
Sleep 1000
Close(ActiveWindow())
#Show Taskbar
Run(SystemPath("ScriptPath")\"TaskbarShow.exe")
Good Luck to those who suffered the same problems like mine

Hey guys, is this dead or some of those who made theirs working would help me?
I have a new chinese pnv. I did download files from the first page,
copied to sd. Had some problems at first, but now the program gets
started, what I have problem is following:
1) it does not connect to any satelite...I have the imei; 1111111111 also device Id
with jetmouse 1.3 I tried few time to generate the unlock code and put it in sw.unl
which I placed in d:/garmin/ and did not work yet...
2) no maps work - i skip the satelite and look around says no map, I downloaded
map that says to be open (to be sure I used opener again), I copied map.img
file to same directory as sw.unl but I cant see the map in program, I used
all those different names as gmapprom.img etc. do not see the map
3) it has voice directory which has english, chinese, thai...in program it
shows only english....is that bug, or if I want to use different voice
I just need to rename it to be the english one?
Ah I use the mscr file (as originaly posted), not the exe files.
Please if you could tell me what I do wrong, I bought this to be a present (not fancy but
usable) and now I cannot use anything on it. Thank you

I have strange problem..
This version working ok on my Chinese Wince6 PNA.. (not better than 20) I can use the maps.. but the Map display get cut from left side and whatever area is getting cut from left screen, that is getting added from the right side of the screen.. its a half centimeter strip but its annoying..
any solution on this?.. I have standard 480x272 screen resolution.
rest all working fine but it would have been much better if we were able to make the setting file read only so that the program can open in Default English language with other fix settings.
