Garmin Provides Navigator for Samsung Phones

Garmin announced today that select Samsung mobile phones will be integrated with its turn-by-turn, voice-prompted navigation.
The Garmin navigation software is on a plug-and-play microSD card. Once users load the card into the phone, the software automatically installs. Customers can use their phone to receive voice-prompted, turn-by-turn directions. A 3D moving map on the phone's display shows users exactly where they are, and if a turn is missed along the way, Samsung Mobile Navigator automatically calculates a new route. Consumers can key in specific street addresses or search millions of points of interest (POI) - like hotels, restaurants, shopping, and tourist attractions. Users can also dial the POI's phone number automatically for reservations, hours of operation, or other information.Consumers using Samsung Mobile Navigator can also access Garmin Online, a free and subscription based service that offers dynamic content such as traffic, weather forecasts and safety cameras. Garmin Online content varies by region. Samsung phones with this navigation capability are expected to be available in Europe and other parts of the world in several months.
