The Garmin XT GPS unit gives you up-to-the-minute traffic, weather and street closing reports. This application functions through an SD card inserted in your phone. It also needs to work with Garmin GPS or another Bluetooth-enabled GPS receiver. You can download the application directly through the Garmin website. Once installed, this application is relatively simple to use. You can set it to provide you with information such as points of interest or turn-by-turn directions.
Instructions
1. Attach the USB cable to your cell phone. Plug the other end of the cable to your computer's USB port. Wait for your synchronization software to launch and detect a connection.
