Garmin Mobile® PC

 

Looking for a tablet or Netbook and saw that Garmin has software for laptops.

Has anyone use the Garmin Mobile® PC on their laptop?
If so does it work just like my Nuvi 750 map?

Thanks

No One?

I guess no one has used this. If I get it I will let you know how it works.
Thanks

Do a search

There have been people talking about this. Just search for forums to find the discussions.

Must not be surching the correct words

I did a surch before I posted and just did another one. Garmin Mobile XT was in there but I have not been able to find any help on the Garmin Mobile Pc software.

Thanks for trying to help Johnc!!

Will keep putting in different words to see if anyting comes up.

Mobile PC

I have it and have used it on a Samsung Q1 UMPC which is a small Windows XP based PC with a 7" touch screen. It works fine with a Microsoft GPS receiver puck I got when I got Microsoft streets and trips. The puck is a USB connected 1-1/2" square device placed on the dash. I have a windshield mount which is OK in our Ford Freestar but is rather too large for a small auto.

It works OK but the interface is not as easy as my Garmin 880 or the older Garmin 680. The maps look a bit crude compared to the 880's or the ones with MS Streets and Trips.

I haven't figured out how to install custom POI data so it doesn't get much use.

I don't think it would be easy to use on a laptop in a car.

Thanks

Thanks for all the information. I do love using my extra POIs that I make and get from this site. I think I will just stay with my Nuvi 750 for now.
Your post helped so very much. Thank you. grin
