Garmin's GPS Navigation for Windows Mobile Supports Real-Time Local Data
"Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (Nasdaq: GRMN), today announced Garmin Mobile� 20 � an automotive navigation system that delivers Garmin's voice-prompted, turn-by-turn directions using Bluetooth wireless technology on Nokia, Windows Mobile and Treo 650 Smartphones. Garmin Mobile 20 provides both data connectivity as well as hands-free capability and is packaged with the GPS 20SM�, a new mobile phone mount with a built-in, highly sensitive GPS receiver and Bluetooth-enabled speaker and microphone. Garmin Mobile 20 will also be the first Garmin product to use the Garmin Online� wireless data services that includes real-time traffic, gas prices, safety cameras, weather information, and other location relevant content."
Man, I hate it when I invest in new technology and then some killer-new features are introduced with a new device within a few months of my investment!! I've come to rely heavily on my GPS as my driving assistant and providing real-time traffic information would really just help make an already great device into an absolute killer one!

Hey - Gas prices is what I really want to know whilst driving!

TomTom Navigator 5 already does that (in Europe at least)- so I guess the pressure was on for Garmin to follow suit.
