Garmin Comes to Samsung, Mobile Gets a Nuvi and Google Local Search Upgrade

Two bits of news have come out of the Garmin camp today—the first of which involves Samsung phones getting their own navigation software based on the Garmin Mobile(TM) XT platform. The software will be available on smartphones like the i780 in Europe and elsewhere starting sometime in the next few months. Futhermore, Garmin Mobile users will be treated to upgrades including a new Nuvi-like interface and the addition of Google Local search starting in July. Press releases are available after the break.

Send Google Maps and MapQuest Addresses to Your Garmin

In a move not unlike the "Send2Car" feature on the Dash Express GPS navigator, Garmin has worked it so that people using Google Maps and MapQuest will easily be able to send the address they're looking at to their navigator, to avoid typing it in all over again. More »

Garmin nuvifone Scenario Video Shows Fabulousness of Phone, Creative Fatigue of Nuvi Marketing Team

The nuvifone won't be available until the third quarter of 2008, but Garmin has already dropped a couple videos showing its product off. One of them is a bit dull, you know the sort of stuff, portentious voiceovers talking about "putting more power in the hands of the people." The other one, however, is marketing genius, showing three typical Garmin customers, John, Joey and Suzi, and how they would use their phone. GYAC, it's not John or Joey spending their time shopping and lunching. [NaviGadget]

nuvifone: Garmin Drops a Phone into the GPS

Today in a surprise announcement in New York City, Garmin whipped out the nuvifone, a full-fledged GSM HSDPA smartphone built on its own operating system with GPS navigation at its core—but e-mail and web browsing close to its heart, and a camera built in too. No pricing or carrier announcement has been made yet, though its likeliest compatible network is AT&T given the technology. (When T-Mobile launches HSDPA, it too will be suitable, and possibly more attractive than AT&T.) More »

Garmin to Roll Out 'Bobcat' GPS Software at Macworld

Garmin's trying to catch some of the Apple buzz for the upcoming Macworld next week, code-naming its latest software project "Bobcat" and being all secretive about it and stuff. There's no indication of what the software will do, but all guesses are welcome. We'll go first: How about some GPS action for the iPhone? No, that was more of a wish, because the Garmin guy mentions "Mac compatible" software on the official Garmin blog. But wait. Isn't that OS X running on the iPhone? [Garmin]

Hands-On Video With Garmin's Voice-Recognizing 880 GPS Unit

We got a hands-on ride with Garmin's voice recognizing 880 GPS unit last night and were impressed with just how good the voice recognition really was. Not only could it hear us over the Vegas traffic and the radio, it even parsed out when we said "sixteen hundred" instead of "one six zero zero". Check out what we mean in the video above.
