Quite frankly, we're still recovering from Garmin's
onslaught of GPS navigation systems at CES, but just as those last mental wounds were healing, along comes the outfit to drop yet another bomb. This time, Garmin's taking CTIA hostage and announcing a veritable smorgasbord of application upgrades and partnerships. Up first is an upgrade to
Garmin Mobile, which promises to bring a new interface and Google Local search to a variety of BlackBerry, Symbian and WinMo handsets. Continuing on, we're also hearing that Garmin GPS owners can "now send locations found on Google Maps" and MapQuest, select Samsung handset owners can grab hold of Mobile Navigator and Garmin Mobile now plays nice with nTelos' lineup of BREW-enabled devices. Thirsty for more? Fantastic -- you'll be bubbling over once you get done perusing the links below.

I hope Garmin fixes the frilling slow route calculation on Garmin Mobile for WinMob. In a race with TomTom, TomTom has already calculated and started routing by the time GMXT starts to think about it, and then you still have to wait another minute or so past that before you get anything out of GMXT.
In real-time navigation, that's like 5 miles gone and the kiss-of-death.
