Garmin StreetPilot 004

Garmin StreetPilot which was launched earlier this year for $40 ( I think ) has got a price drop and is available for $30 .. $29.99 to be exact. I am sure not many of you needs an intro to the app but for the uninitiated its a GPS navigator app for your phone with turn-by-turn voice directions. So if you folks from US and Canada want to pick this up this might be a good time coz we hear that this is a limited time sale. Here is what the developers have to say about it

Download Garmin StreetPilot® and get Garmin® navigation for the U.S. and Canada, similar to the premium features on Garmin’s renowned nüvi® personal navigators. Designed exclusively for your Windows Phone, this application works on both 3G and EDGE networks and turns your device into a GPS navigator with turn-by-turn voice-prompted directions.

With Garmin StreetPilot®, you’ll always have access to the most up-to-date map data available. And to minimize data usage, maps are downloaded on demand for areas relevant to your route. Garmin StreetPilot® also includes real-time traffic updates at no extra cost. So you’ll know which areas to avoid as you travel.

Garmin StreetPilot® stores map data on your device so you can continue to view route details as you travel in and out of coverage areas. In addition, Garmin StreetPilot® lets you browse maps that have already been downloaded and stored on your device. Instead of downloading additional data for areas outside your travel area, Garmin StreetPilot® only accesses the map data you need to navigate your route.
