  • Product Description
    Turn your BlackBerry into a world-class navigator with a Garmin Mobile subscription and the GPS 20SM smart mount--a wireless package that combines a high-sensitivity GPS receiver, a Bluetooth hands-free kit, an adjustable phone cradle, and a 12-volt phone charger all in one. It's easy to get started: simply purchase a subscription through the Garmin Mobile Buyer's Guide, then activate and install the Garmin Mobile software on your BlackBerry. Finally, mount your BlackBerry in the mobile phone cradle and start navigating. Once the package is installed, you'll have access to detailed directions, maps, and points of interest, including voice-prompted turn-by-turn directions with audible street names. The intuitive user interface, moving maps, and off-route recalculation, meanwhile, are must-haves for people who get lost easily.

    The phone cradle easily adjusts to fit your BlackBerry device and moves effortlessly from vehicle to vehicle, so you can bring it along during business trips or vacations. You can also talk safely on your BlackBerry thanks to the smart mount's built-in Bluetooth wireless technology, speaker, and microphone. Want to look up and dial numbers from your address book or Garmin Mobile's extensive point-of-interest database? Not a problem. Just look up and call the number, order food for pickup or make the reservation, and the BlackBerry will guide you there with easy-to-understand directions.

    The Garmin Mobile subscription even gives you access to free wireless data services, with dynamic content for routing around traffic tie-ups, viewing the local weather, and finding the least expensive gas prices. Other details include more than 1,000 waypoints, several route choices (fastest time, shortest distance, etc.), and route avoidance (to elude busy highways, tolls, and more). The GPS 20SM smart mount measures 2.7 by 4.2 by 2.31 inches (W x H x D), weighs 2.2 ounces, and is backed by a one-year warranty.

    What's in the Box
    GPS 20SM smart mount, one-year Garmin Mobile subscription, dashboard disk, phone charging cable, quick start guide.

    Summary:
       perfect for the frequent traveler
    Comment:
       Using mine since Feb '07, first with a BlackBerry 7100, then with the faster 8100 Pearl. Absolutely fabulous. One particularly useful feature when in other (boroughs or) cities is the finder, which provides all locations of a post office, particular chain, bank branch etc. starting with the nearest, as well as standalone, specific stores, restaurants etc. No unnecessary bells and whistles, its a grown-up GPS in a tiny package. In a pinch, I have even used in on the motorcycle -- in a plastic bag taped to the tank bag. Performed as well as my $900 Tom-Tom Rider (although the BlackBerry will run out of juice quickly unless connected to the car or cycle electrical system).
