Garmin mobile xt forum full#
Packed with preloaded maps, millions of destinations and full GPS navigation capabilities, Garmin Mobile XT turns your phone into a powerful street navigator. So the users just buy the Mobile XT (which previously can be downloaded for free) instead of buying the Garmin BT GPS device. So Garmin came up with a Mobile XT version which is tied to the SD card that it is sold with for USD99. There is no reason for these users to buy Garmin BT GPS since they already have the GPS built-in. Trouble arises when Symbian/WM devices with built-in GPS became popular. It’s use is still tied to the Garmin BT devices. To overcome competition from other navigation software such as MapKing, Garmin came up with a pseudo-3D (2.5D?) navigation software known as Mobile XT for WM, PalmOS and Symbian.
Unfortunately no such application is available for PalmOS. Savvy PPC/WM users overcome this by using GPSProxy, which enables them to use Que with any BT GPS device or built-in GPS.
However you could only use Que with Garmin Bluetooth (BT) devices such as Garmin GPS 10 & Garmin GPS 10x. Later Garmin came up with Que software which could be used on PPC & PalmOS devices. The Que software cannot be used on other PPC device. Once PalmOS began to decline, Garmin came up with a PPC version of Que, but it is still a Garmin device. The Que software cannot be used on other PalmOS device. Later Garmin came up with a PalmOS version of the GPSr known as Que.
Initially those who wants to navigate using Garmin maps have to buy Garmin GPSr.
