Manufacturer Description |
Add full-featured navigation to your Laptop or ultra mobile PC with Garmin Mobile PC. Get maps, millions of POIs, easy-to-use navigation software, turn-by-turn directions that speak street names (English only), route planning and more - all from the trusted leader in GPS navigation, Garmin.
Navigate with Your Laptop
Packed with preloaded maps, millions of destinations and full GPS navigation capabilities, Garmin Mobile PC software turns your laptop into a powerful street navigator. Its intuitive interface greets you with two simple options "Where to?" and "View Maps". Easily look up addresses and services and get turn-by-turn directions that announce the names of exits and streets to your destination. Also receive automatic corrections if you stray off course. With Garmin Mobile PC, you can upload custom points of interest, such as safety cameras, and conveniently navigate to Outlook Contacts.
Plan Ahead
Garmin Mobile PC includes advanced navigational features to take the worry out of traveling. With route planning you can save routes, specify via points and preview simulated turns on your computer. In addition, Garmin Mobile PC automatically sorts multiple destinations to provide an efficient route for errands, deliveries or sales calls. A trip computer automatically records trip data and a trip log provides an electronic bread crumb trail, so you can see where you've been on the map. Even avoid certain roads or areas.
Get Travel Information
Check the weather, gas prices, your flight status and hotel information when you travel with your laptop and Garmin Mobile PC. Get the weather forecast for your location or anywhere in the world. View hotel rates, ratings and amenities information from hotels.com. Check the status of your flight along with departure and arrival information. Even compare local gas prices when out and about. These free, real-time services from Garmin Online put essential travel information at your fingertips.
Purchase the Bundle Right for You
Garmin Mobile PC is available with or without a GPS sensor depending on your laptop configuration (see series tab). Purchase Garmin Mobile PC software on DVD separately if your laptop already has an internal GPS receiver. For laptops without GPS, Garmin Mobile PC comes bundled with the GPS 20x sensor, a sleek, thin, high-sensitivity USB GPS receiver.
