Garmin has announced that it will be launching a BlackBerry app in Europe this September. At the moment, Garmin’s application is available in the U.S., only.
In addition to turn-by-turn navigation, Garmin Mobile also includes access to Garmin Online, providing users with such features such as local traffic and weather conditions as well as Navteq’s database of points of interest. The application will support both the built-in GPS receiver found in select BlackBerry models and Bluetooth GPS receivers.
Garmin Mobile for BlackBerry will be sold for 89.99 GBP ($179.99).

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do.
In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
