Found in:Mobile News, Garmin, Palm, Treo, Navigation, Garmin Releases Palm OS Mobile XT major software Update

Garmin has released a major software update for Palm OS users of their GPS 10 package. It is updated version of the Garmin Mobile XT Palm OS application, which adds compatibility for the Treo 650, 680, 700p, LifeDrive, TX, and Tungsten E2. This software package is bundled with the Garmin GPS 10 and 20 packages.

The new version 4.00.40p adds full-screen support for large-screen devices. Also part of the offering is an improved weather search and BlueTooth device communication, improved volume control range on Treo devices, and numerous other smaller updates and bugfixes.

Despite the cancellation of most of Garmin's iQue line, Garmin is still actively supporting the Palm OS GPS software market. In fact, this package is currently one of the few viable means of GPS navigation for owners of newer Palm OS handhelds such as the LifeDrive or Palm TX.

The update is 28.5mb and the link to the software download as well as a full change log, is available here.
