Garmin, maker of standalone and other GPS-focussed devices, has launched Mobile XT, a complete microSD-based navigation solution for smartphones, priced at $99. Details of international availability are sketchy at the moment, but we've asked Garmin UK if they can get hold of a review sample for us to try.

Nice one, i do hope its compatible with Symbian S60.
Will be nice to use an alternative to TomTom Mobile, but i feel it will be hard to beat.

Mine is arriving on Monday, and will post what i think in the N95 forum.

If you go over to the Malaysian Singapore Maps forum, some of the members are already running Garmin XT on their S60 phones. A lot of us here have been waiting for the GXT to arrive, because our maps are mostly in the garmin file format.

Head over and have a look.. www dot malsingmaps dot com

This seems like quite a bit of cash for basically a load of maps on a SD card.

Nokia Maps is already free and 'Nokia Map Loader' will load the maps onto a memory card.

Although... being a mac user (there's no Mac version of Map Loader) & borrowing a friends PC last night to be told it'd take a gazillion hours to download just England... Maybe it's not so much money after all.

Got it, tried it, not as good as navigon IMO.

Its ok, but address interface is very clunky, didnt recognise a few very solid (by solid I mean been there for ages and havent changed in any way or location) postcodes, and the routing isnt quite right.

Sigh, back to waiting for tomtom.
