One of the biggest items I noticed missing from its navigating features is that it does not read the road names. It found every hotel I was looking for, each grocery store I wanted, and even the nearest 7-11 so I could get that refreshing Slurpee on that blistering hot day! I have found that its POI (Points of Interest) database is very comprehensive. I seem to have noticed that the more memory my phone has free, the faster it will calculate routes and re-draw maps. The voice prompts are plenty loud and very clear and easy to understand. It did a good job at recognizing when I went off the recommended route and recalculated a new route in a respectable amount of time. You can also see an overview of your route that gives you additional options in adding roads, getting additional information, etc. Again, after using this program for quite a while, these are only minor suggestions and not major concerns in any way. Where it shows my speed, I wish I could set it to miles left to go. And the last item is that I cannot find an easy reference to how many total remaining miles I have left in my trip. Second, as I mentioned above, I personally like the compass pointing to my destination instead of North. Look at the two screenshots to see what I mean.
As it is now, you can see the turn clearly on the actual map, but only once you get close enough for it to appear on the map ahead of you. I would like to have a turn symbol there so I know which way I have to turn no matter how far ahead it is. First, at the top of the screen it says what the next street is and how far until you get there. None of these are major issues, but would have been nice to have. There are few things that would like to see added to the navigation screen. After using TomTom Navigator 6, it was a nice and welcomed change. Your route is nicely highlighted for easy reference. You can see how fast you are going and at what time you should be arriving at your destination. First of all, the text is big enough to read at a glance. Other than that, the program is very finger friendly with no need of a stylus.Īs for the navigation screen, it is pretty good with only a few additional features I would have like to have had included. If your phone has a physical keyboard, you can use that after you set it in the settings.
The only exception might be that if someone has really large finger,s they might have to use the stylus if they use the keyboard in the program.
Address entry is easy to do as the buttons are big enough for the average person. There are two aspects to look at when talking about the layout with GPS software, the navigation screen and the address entry.

It automatically asks you if you want to install Mobile XT. Mobile XT comes on a 2 gb MicroSD card, and with only around 1.1 gb used, there is plenty of extra space for most users.
#Garmin mobile xt serial number software
This has been by far one of the easiest installs ever with any GPS software I have tried over the past 5 years. In this review I will share with you how Gamin Mobile XT holds up, and as always curious minds want to know, whether I plan on keeping Garmin Mobile XT on my phone or whether I will be deleting it as soon as I finish this review. I am on the road a lot with my work and not having to rent a GPS unit from a rental car place for $15 a day, pay an extra $10 a month subscription for a Carrier offered GPS, or haul around an extra GPS unit every where I travel, are all huge incentives for me to always be on the look out for the best GPS software solution that I can use on my phone. I have been using GPS on my phone since I first converted to a WM phone.
