Garmin StreetPilot App Available Now
July 7, 2011 No Comments
Garmin has released an official GPS navigation application. Garmin StreetPilot for Windows Phone basically turns your phone into a GPS device with turn-by-turn voice prompts. The Garmin StreetPilot app carries a price tag of $39.99. While the price tag is a bit hefty it might be better than having to spend $100+ on a dedicated GPS device, and the price is comparable to Garmin apps on other OS’s.
App info:
Download Garmin StreetPilot® and get Garmin® navigation, similar to the premium features on Garmin’s renowned nüvi® personal navigators. Designed exclusively for your Windows Phone, this application works on both 3G and EDGE networks and turns your device into a GPS navigator with turn-by-turn voice-prompted directions.
With Garmin StreetPilot®, you’ll always have access to the most up-to-date map data available. And to minimize data usage, maps are downloaded on demand for areas relevant to your route. Garmin StreetPilot® also includes real-time traffic updates at no extra cost. So you’ll know which areas to avoid as you travel.
Garmin StreetPilot® stores map data on your device so you can continue to view route details as you travel in and out of coverage areas. In addition, Garmin StreetPilot® lets you browse maps that have already been downloaded and stored on your device. Instead of downloading additional data for areas outside your travel area, Garmin StreetPilot® only accesses the map data you need to navigate your route.

-Always up-to-date maps for the U.S. and Canada, downloaded to your device on demand
