Garmin is updating its StreetPilot Onboard and NAVIGON smartphone apps to provide “better orientation in cities.” Thanks to the new Urban Guidance feature, users are able to integrate public transportation into their route, complete with detailed itineraries of transit stops. The so called “Last Mile” function automatically saves the location of the user’s car when continuing by foot, making it easy to find it on the way back. Moreover, to better depict the user’s surroundings, the Garmin StreetPilot Onboard app for iPhone will now also include Google Street View and Panorama View 3D; the former comes as a free add-on while the latter is available via in-app purchase.
Urban Guidance takes trains, trams, busses and water taxis into consideration, guiding users to the proper transit stop. What’ more, the feature even reflects the real colors of public transportation lines to provide better orientation.
Garmin will release updates for the StreetPilot Onboard iPhone app and the NAVIGON apps for Android and iPhone in fall 2012. The Urban Guidance will be available at a reduced price of $2.99 (regular price $4.99) for the first two weeks…
Garmin StreetPilot Onboard for iPhone: USA ($49.99), North America ($59.99)
NAVIGON for iPhone: USA ($49.99), North America ($59.99)
NAVIGON for Android: USA ($49.95), North America ($59.95)

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.
