Palm GPS Navigator To Feature Garmin Mobile XT Software

Palm today announced a Palm GPS Navigator for the Palm Centro smartphone featuring Garmin Mobile XT software.

Drivers using the new GPS Navigator with their Palm Centro smartphone can rely on turn-by-turn, voice-prompted directions to easily find their destinations as well as millions of points of interest, updated traffic, fuel prices, hotel prices and weather forecasts. Expected late November, the Palm GPS Navigator featuring Garmin software will be $249 USD.

"With Garmin's high-powered software, Palm smartphone users will have GPS capabilities while on the go," said Ed Tse, accessory solutions product manager at Palm, Inc. "Palm's legendary touch screen and full QWERTY keyboard allow for quick input and inquiry."

"Garmin is pleased to provide a navigation solution so Palm users can transform their favorite Palm Treo or Centro smartphone into a full-featured Garmin GPS navigator," said Charles Morse, director of mobile and PND marketing at Garmin. "Garmin Mobile XT is easy to use, has no monthly charges, and will help ensure that Palm users never get lost again."
