We review the Garmin Asus nüvifone M10, a Windows Mobile device, designed for personal navigation
There is nothing original about having navigation software in a smartphone these days.
Google Maps and Ovi Maps offer it for free, and CoPilot is just one example of software that does the job very well for a fee.
So has Garmin Asus come up with a handset to rival the best of what is already out there?
Well, the key point is that while those examples above add SatNav to a smartphone, the Garmin Asus nüvifone line is more about integrating smartphone and SatNav at the very core of a device.
This is shown not only in the software but also in the way that you get absolutely everything you need in the box.
The Garmin Asus nüvifone M10 has its navigation software already installed. Maps of most of Europe are on a 4GB microSD card, leaving you with a bit over 1GB for personal storage. You get a very nicely made car kit too. All for around £300 SIM free.
