Garmin Provides Navigation for Samsung Mobile Phones
April 1, 2008 6:09 PM | Samsung | Comments (0)
Garmin International Inc. announced today that select Samsung mobile phones will have the benefit of Garmin’s intuitive turn-by-turn, voice-prompted navigation directly on the phone. Samsung Mobile Navigator by Garmin is based on the popular Garmin Mobile XT navigation software, and Samsung phones with this navigation capability are expected to be available in Europe and other parts of the world in several months. Garmin will display the Samsung i780 and other examples of its mobile phone navigation solutions April 1-3, 2008, at the CTIA Wireless trade show in Las Vegas. |  |
The Garmin navigation software is on a plug-and-play microSD card, and once a customer loads the card into the phone, the software automatically installs. Customers may then use their phone to receive voice-prompted, turn-by-turn directions to their destination. A 3D moving map on the phone’s display shows the user exactly where they are, and if a turn is missed along the way, Samsung Mobile Navigator by Garmin automatically calculates a new route. Users may key in a specific street address or search millions of points of interest (POI) – places like hotels, restaurants, shopping, and tourist attractions. Customers can also dial the POI’s phone number automatically – for reservations, hours of operation, or other information.
Those using Samsung Mobile Navigator by Garmin also have access to Garmin Online™, a free and subscription based online service that offers dynamic content such as traffic, weather forecasts and safety cameras. Garmin Online content varies by region.
