WinMo is ancient so why bother.

This would even be a problem where you're not driving abroad. What happens if you've used up your monthly data allowance or your in an area with no mobile coverage and need to access new maps?

I'd rather stick with WinMo and a decent satnav application than run the risk of having my Google satnav fail when I need it most.]]>Nov 11th 2009 6:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/garmin-asus-nuvifone-m20-makes-jump-to-windows-mobile-6-5/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/garmin-asus-nuvifone-m20-makes-jump-to-windows-mobile-6-5/
The smart phone will "always" be a jack of all trades, master of none. No matter what OS and app you load into it there will probably be a dedicated device that do the specific task better.]]>Nov 11th 2009 7:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/garmin-asus-nuvifone-m20-makes-jump-to-windows-mobile-6-5/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/garmin-asus-nuvifone-m20-makes-jump-to-windows-mobile-6-5/
When I frequently cross into Canada for motorcycle trips I call Verizon, have them upgrade my plan, I update my tower data, Ride!, Come Monday when I get home I call Verizon and change it back.

They prorate you just for the couple days. Problem solved.

Long story short, google nav is great, but not useful without an active data connection that only has intermittent signal losses. Now if there was an android phone with google nav and a dedicated nav app (say Garmin) with NA maps and millions of POI. THAT would be awesome. If they could let them interact and share data: heaven.]]>Nov 11th 2009 12:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/garmin-asus-nuvifone-m20-makes-jump-to-windows-mobile-6-5/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/garmin-asus-nuvifone-m20-makes-jump-to-windows-mobile-6-5/Nov 11th 2009 9:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/garmin-asus-nuvifone-m20-makes-jump-to-windows-mobile-6-5/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/garmin-asus-nuvifone-m20-makes-jump-to-windows-mobile-6-5/
The problem with Mobile XT was you locked it to a uselessly sized uSDHC card instead of letting people select the card that kept up with the times.]]>Nov 11th 2009 1:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/garmin-asus-nuvifone-m20-makes-jump-to-windows-mobile-6-5/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/garmin-asus-nuvifone-m20-makes-jump-to-windows-mobile-6-5/
Personally, I wouldn't trust Google's Navigator with my data. I think Garmin would probably have more better maps and features anyway.]]>Nov 11th 2009 5:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/garmin-asus-nuvifone-m20-makes-jump-to-windows-mobile-6-5/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/garmin-asus-nuvifone-m20-makes-jump-to-windows-mobile-6-5/it's not good to call smart phone
the navigation is the only good at it..better than google maps like nokia n97
because of the os..all program become messy
and the battery estimate usage is 2 days with a call or anything u want to do with the phone]]>Nov 18th 2009 5:47AM
