GARMIN 010-11034-00 Garmin Mobile Xt For Smartphones Review from Lashan Wanigatunga. Great navigation, but…, I bought this for my Dopod D810 (HTC) running WM6 with a built-in GPS.

Pros:

- Easy setup, just plug in the SD card and you’re good to go.

- Navigation works great, POI’s seems comprehensive enough, in other words the standard GPS functionality works fine.

- I like the turn preview option, which zooms to the turn, until you’ve made the turn and then zooms back out.

- I believe a product review should always consider the price. Under $100 seems fair enough for what you get.

Cons:

- CANNOT COPY THE DATA TO YOUR OWN SD CARD. This has been discussed in other reviews in detail. Depending on your usage this can be either an inconvenience or the reason to not buy the software. The data card has around 800MB free, so I copied all my programs and data (~600MB) to the garmin supplied SD. This worked fine, so I don’t need to swap data cards all the time. However, this does not leave me with much free space for additional data or programs. I was seriously considering penalizing 2 stars for this limitation alone, but since the software works well and I managed to copy my data to the garmin card, I am feeling very generous (I wish the option of 3.5 stars was available).

- The house numbers down the lane where I live was a bit messed up on the map which is a bit annoying (my house is 324, but the map shows it as 341). Not a big issue since I can always stick my neck out and read the number on the mailbox. I didn’t notice this for any other areas (so far), so hopefully it’s just my lane.

- It would really have been nice if the on-screen keypad was QWERTY, and not arranged in alphabetical order.

In conclusion, if you don’t have too much of your own software/data to store on the SD card, then I would highly recommend this product. If Garmin really insists on using their own data card, perhaps they could have the option of a bigger data card.
