Garmin Releases v5.0.1 For The Bold & Others?

Taylor and Josep sent me a link to a thread on BBForums talking about the latest version of the Garmin GPS application for the Bold. The thread author, CornerCarver, has nothing but praise for the latest version which is impressive considering how hobbled the original version was for BlackBerry. This might not take off yet because the Bold is not officially out in the US and the maps seem to be US only for now… Also I have not managed to find any other references that the application is Bold compatible but I will take CornerCarvers word on that.

Some of the key features pointed out:

  • Links to your address book
  • Traffic updates
  • Panoramio – Pictures of scenic locations
  • Always updated POI database
  • Flight Status

The price is still $99.99 for the life of your device which is a pretty good deal or $9.99 per month. Has anybody had a chance to check it out on their Bold? I am curious to see how it performs…

Version 5.0.1 seems to also be available for other BlackBerry devices. Check out the latest version at www8.garmin.com/mobile/blackberry/ or Handango. There is also mention that the 20% off coupon SAVE20NOW will save you 20% off the $99.99 price. On the other hand Garmin does not show up if you select the Bold as your phone on Handango…

Its a GPS mystery 🙂
