Garmin International is pleased to announce Garmin Mobile XT for smartphones. Garmin Mobile XT is an all-in-one software solution preloaded on a
microSD card (with miniSD and standard SD card converters) that turns smartphones with built-in GPS into high-end Garmin navigators. Unlike other
mobile phone applications, Garmin Mobile XT requires no monthly subscription and includes access to premium real-time traffic alerts and other dynamic
content at no additional cost.1

The Garmin Mobile XT software provides the same high-quality mapping and navigation features found on other Garmin automotive devices. Users can
easily route to a specific street address or search millions of points of interest (POIs) – places like hotels, restaurants, shopping and tourist attractions, with
one-touch dialing to call for more information. After selecting a destination, Garmin Mobile XT software automatically calculates the fastest or shortest
route to the destination and provides voice-prompted, turn-by-turn directions along the way, all while showing a 3D moving map on the phone’s display. If
a driver strays off course, Garmin Mobile XT will automatically calculate the quickest way to get back on track. Garmin Mobile XT also includes several
power-user features such as saved routes, tracks, area or road avoidance, custom POIs and more. Map data for North America is provided by NAVTEQ –
a world leader in premium-quality mapping.

Garmin Mobile customers will also have access to powerful Garmin OnlineTM services such as dynamic traffic, fuel prices, hotel rates and weather
information at no additional cost1. The real-time traffic service from traffic.com identifies accidents, road construction, or other incidents affecting traffic, and
routes users around the congestion. The fuel prices feature displays helpful fuel information such as the filling station’s name, fuel price, type of fuel, and
distance to the station (U.S. only). View current hotel rates, ratings and availability information from hotels.com. Real-time weather information lets users
see weather conditions and forecasts at their current location or anywhere in the world.

Garmin Mobile XT also includes PeerPoints™, a powerful short message service (SMS) feature that enables users to send their position or information
about a POI to any other phone. Garmin Mobile XT will display received PeerPoints on the map and enable quick navigation to the location of POIs or
other users. Map screen shots can also be sent to other phones with multimedia messaging service (MMS). (PeerPoints requires SMS or MMS service on
the mobile phone.)

Garmin Mobile XT supports a wide range of smartphones including devices running Windows® Mobile, Symbian S60 (2nd and 3rd Editions), and Palm®
Treos with Bluetooth® wireless technology. Garmin Mobile XT requires an embedded GPS or a Bluetooth GPS receiver. For devices without embedded
GPS, Garmin Mobile 10 for Smartphones (010-00654-00) includes a portable Bluetooth GPS receiver and Garmin Mobile 20 (010-00580-00) includes an
all-in-one Bluetooth GPS receiver, handsfree kit, smartphone cradle and device charger, with the Garmin Mobile XT application and data preloaded on a
memory card.
