Review of Garmin Mobile XT published March 19, 2008 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R. Unfortunately in this review one of the most interesting things to check out - was not tested: whether it is possible to copy the software and maps to bigger memory card and use it from the bigger memory card, than the one on which this software is deliverd... but nonetheless this review contains still many pictures and tests: Garmin Mobile XT is a good bit of kit, don't get me wrong. The range of options and the navigation details are great. Little tweaks like the track logs, auto dimming screen and the ability to quickly find petrol stations, hotels and cash machines in your local area are all fab. However, I was a little disappointed with some of the default settings of the program - that auto-zoom does my head in and I couldn't seem to shake off the GPS lag at times. It could that I need to adjust the baud rate on my settings, but this program sets the GPS up automatically when it can, so I'm hoping it didn't get things wrong. There's also those few niggles with the country selection but, for just over £50 with free traffic updates, you've got to work this all into the equation.
