Garmin's software gets me where I want to go without any issues around stealing a glance at the screen in heavy traffic.Ī few weeks ago I wnet to New Zealand and Australia, and discovered that base maps for those two countries are also included. But without voice prompts it was dangerous to look at while driving.

I travel on business quite a bit, and until purchasing this package I had been using Microsoft Live Mobile, which fetches maps in real time over your mobile carrier data connection. Once I exit Garmin's software, my screen saver goes back to the way I set it up for normal use. It even overrides my screen saver settings, so that the map is always visible while navigating. On the contrary-it's awesome! Everything I'd expect from a dedicated device, including voice turn-by-turn directions. My PDA has an internal GPS, so I ordered this software, expecting to be underwhelmed vs. Just as well-TomTom asks you to enter street name, then street number, which I find awkward. *This claim was from the retailer-not HTC.) TomTom was NOT included, and the retailer never made good on their promise to send it to me. A few months ago I purchased a HTC Advantage, which is a large PDA that was advertised as having TomTom software included at the store I visited.
