Hi guys,
I thought I'd chime in on my experience with a 7 day trial of Garmin Mobile for Blackberry, running on my Tour. Let me say first, I used Garmin Mobile XT on 2 different WinMo devices, and loved everything about it except (1) the external bluetooth GPS puck, and (2) the startup time. So I had high expectations.
Here are my probs with the BB version:
- The font size for maps is unreal in how small it is
- The 3d view is by far the most usable, but you can only do 3d if you're navigating, not if you're just driving and viewing the map
- 2d maps in the Mobiel XT version were just like the Garmin dedicated units. 2D maps on the BB version look an awful lot like Google maps. Except they load a lot slower and don't work as well.
So I guess for now I'll stick with TeleNav, which I don't love but IMHO is way better than Garmin.
My $0.02...
