Make your smartphone even smarter — with GPS and Bluetooth® wireless

location based services

Now it's easy to add full GPS navigation and hands-free calling capabilities to your mobile smartphone with the Garmin Mobile™ 20 — a Bluetooth-enabled wireless GPS navigation system.

Garmin Mobile 20 supports Nokia, Windows Mobile and Treo smartphones, and its integrated phone mount, the GPS 20SM™, with a built-in, highly sensitive GPS receiver and Bluetooth-enabled speaker and microphone, accommodates nearly any size. Wherever you're going, Garmin Mobile 20 with included mapping software provides wireless mapping and navigation to deliver you directly to the front door. And for on-the-go convenience, the wireless interface, powerful speaker and noise-canceling dual microphones let you drive and talk hands-free without using a headset.

Garmin Mobile 20's smart features include:

* Phone mount with Bluetooth wireless speaker and microphone — lets you speak "hands-free" so you can focus on driving

* Intuitive navigational software for smartphones — included on data card and provides the same high-quality navigational features found on other Garmin portable automotive GPS devices

* Detailed, accurate mapping software — included on data card and provides detailed maps for one European region (European package) or maps of the U.S., Canada and Puerto (North American package)

* Easy and convenient setup — just plug included data card into smartphone, power up the GPS 20SM and go; software automatically installs itself, turning your smartphone into a fully loaded, wireless navigation system

* Garmin Online™ — provides free and subscription wireless data services to Garmin Mobile 20 customers with Internet access on their phones. Services include real-time traffic, gas prices, safety cameras, weather information, and other location relevant content

* Short message service (SMS) integration — lets you send your location via text messaging, and easily view received locations on a map or navigate to them

* Integrated high-sensitivity GPS receiver — provides faster acquisition times and maintains signal under heavy foliage and near city skyscrapers

* Built-in suction cup and phone charger — make it a snap to install the GPS 20SM on any windshield and conveniently charge most smartphones (adapters included)

With Garmin Mobile 20, you have everything that you need to start navigating with GPS. Detailed maps, automatic routing, 2D or 3D map perspective, and turn-by-turn directions make it easy to locate addresses. Or you can search millions of points of interests (POIs) — places like hotels, restaurants, shopping, and tourist attractions — then dial the POI's phone number automatically for reservations, hours of operation, or other information and speak hands-free while staying focused on the road.
