Hi all, I’m desperate and unable to install navigator on my new samsung jet s8003. i have enabled Navigation. downloaded the software. After that when Installation starts i’m getting an error message “Unable to connect to the Route 66 server Please check your internet connetcion and try again”. But my internet is really working fine. Also tried other connection settings. Via proxy, Internet explorer settings, automatic proxy but no one worked out.
I’m using Tata broad band connection.
Please help me someone. I’m struck. Found no ways to move forward.

@ Bapi
You should try one of this:
1. Try on different pc
2. Yoy might have have installed some programs that change youur internet settings so you need to remove these like proxy programs. Sometimes even uninstalling them doesn’t work so you might have to reinstall Windows!
@ RockerRock
Thank you very much for all your help, I have been able to use the Navigation on my phone and it is working fine..
Thank you once again…
do any one have voucher code for drive and walk in india
hi
i agree with rock can anyone tell me which file types are supported in samsung Jets8003 since jar files are generating error message unsupported file type pls help me
Hi RockerRock
Thank you very much. The code which you gave works….
Jay.
Bapi,
Looks like your antivirus software on the PC is the problem. Are you using K7? Just disable the antivirus software and try. It might work.
THANKS, but one problem.. I seem to cant get to my position. how to make it locate my location?
Edison, it takes 10-15 min to get position first time…so go in open ground preferably and wait for position…
pls frnds which file types supported by samsung jet s8003 ???????
Hi, tanks for the responses, but I am having the same problem as James. When I activate the software on the phone, there is an error message saying that some resource files are missing. Please, any help??
Guys, the ones who have the problem with error connecting to server, try connecting with a LAN cable and not wireless. It works!!!!
Ok, all loaded, but when I click on store the program just hangs. Any ideas?
Hi, i have got everything okay just that i can only get my own position. after that i search for example. AMK hub then i select “drive to”, after that there isnt any voice instruction on how to drive there or any arrow on the maps to show the route to take??? does i need to get the licenses before i can use it as a real gps?? please help…
its onlie works on samsung jet s8000, the european version…..not in samsung jet s8003, the asian version…….
and jet is not a 3G fon….its a 3.5G fon……hehehe
hi guys,
it works, unfortunately there’s no navigation voice. what’s the point of having your car moving on the road only without knowing your navigation?
so, the next question is how to get the drive and walk navigation without connecting to the network?
my mistake because not studying the OS of this phone fisrt. Kind of regret buying this phone due to its OS. hopefully there are more cracking manuals for the GPS like Garmin and TomTom.
do any one have voucher code for drive and walk in india
Any one have voucher code for drive and walk in india
For those firmware version is S8003DXIG2 try this:
1) Enter Admin setting menu *#5239870*#
2) Enter Internal menu Master key *#7092463*#
To check firmware version: *#1234#
hope can solve it.

hi i am installed properly my samsung jet 8003 navigator software but only not working my current position. plz give me the ripely. dilshadv@gmail.com
Navigator doesnot work indoor. you need to be outside home to make it operational. also it takes some time to catch sattelites.
I am using it quite confortable in India.
ok ok all
i want voucher code for Route 66 Sync !!!
pleeees
thanks a lot.i was searching for the route 66 sync n finally with the help of this blog i have enabled my s8003 with navigation …thanks aaaa lot merci
Cheers mate. This is working perfectly on a S8003 in Canada. Had to use the other codes found in the thread to enable the GPS though.
i just want to ask again..is this fully free??
it’s not free at all. don’t waste your time installing this software unless you want to buy the voucher code to activate the drive and walk navigation. yet, this phone is very lame because the gps receiver is not very good. i’m buying new phone now. crap!!!
Please help me ….
The version of my phone is
SW VER – S8000POIG1
CSC VER – S8000XEFIG1 (ED004)
I had already installed the software route 66. I need to reinstall the firmware.
Thank you.
Whoa! Thanks guys, got it working very well
i am done with the navigation icon thing l but unable to proceed further with the installation of route 66 maps ..
can anyone help me out?
also can we use any other maps ? pls help tnx
Do not even consider buying the subscription for Route 66 on the Jet. It is absolute garbage.
Use the money towards a TomTom, far superior.
I am very very disappointed with route 66 and would ask for a refund if one was available.
The worst thing I have bought for a long time. A real waste of money.
The Jet is a brilliant phone.
Puzzled as to why Samsung would even think about having route 66 on it.
i need voucher code for Saudi Arabia drive & Walk… pleaseeeee

Answers to two BIG questions
1) Is Route 66 payed or free?
Lot of maps are for free (you need to download and install them) and you can find where you are standing as well as interesting spots on the map.
BUT the navigation (indication to get from one place to another)is payed and you need a voucher or code to activate the function.
2) getting a pirated voucher code?
It’s not worth it. Samsung jet’s GPS chip is quite weak (you can block satellite signals with a newspaper) and unprecise (sometimes up to few hundred meters… maybe this is not Samsung’s fault but Route66 developers’ one. Well you should not expect too much from a lil slim and relatively cheap pseudo-smartphone). So I strongly recommend you not to use it as a car navigation (you could find yourself driving a one-way in the opposite direction or jump into a river). Just have fun playing with the downloadable free maps and buy yourself a cheap Navi for your car.
RockerRock u did ROCK!! i finally managed to get my route66
I have installed the route 66 on my amsung jet but its showing me locations in US. any idea how to change it to singapore map settings?
DO ANYONE KNOW THE DRIVE AND WALK KEY FOR GREECE OR EUROPE??
Please I want to unlock my Samsung Jet S8000; my IMEI no. is 352028032190212. Please help me get the unlocking code.
Is this page setup by the NOOB-MORON-squad ?
This shit ain’t FREE ! First of all, Samsung LBS (route66) dates from the STONE AGES ! we are 2010, not 1910 , this software acts like it’s made by a bunch of OLD farts (enter an address, needs to have EVERYTHING first, no database compare entry) .. then when all entered you need to do SEARCH (takes +2 minutes /SIGH) and when you actually found it, this superfast phone gets nuked off by this mega-slow route66 poor excuse for a gps solution.
And you need to PAY for it to actually use guidance .. the maps are free .. right … but totally useless without a license … and who in their RIGHT MIND is going to pay for this SHIT software ?! You have to be BRAINDEAD to do so..
Honestly, this is a crappy phone with a crappy gps software. We can only hope NAV n GO (igo) or TOM TOM will one day be available for this touchwiz crap (java based) but I doubt it … They are way smarter … they think “why botter” …
Samsung should STOP making phones, they suck harder every time we see a new model ….
I will NEVER buy another samsung in my life.
If you install the program { Route 66 }on your computer that lasts until the error 1628 Please help me solve this problem my mail it sayed_soso25@hotmail.com
