BASICALLY ITS AUDIO ROUTING FOR BT...ALLOWS FOR SOUND TO BE PUSHED FROM APPS TO THE HEADSET...

That's because the actual name of the app is acbToggleBT.

Hey Yay 4 Juggs....

Have you been happy with Garmin so far? I am a Garmin fan personally...use their standalone units. I tried their mobile on a friends phone and it seemed to be lacking a lot of POIs - places that have been there for a while don't show, etc.

How often do they update POIs and maps? Where do you download the updates?

Any info you have would be appreciated!

Thanks,
-David

Check this thread out. It has the links to add as many POI's that you want to Garmin XT. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=22298

I've been using Telenav with my past 2 phones and now with the Mogul. You don't need any special programs to hear the audio through BT. The Mogul will do it automatically if your BT is paired with the phone.

Overall I've been very happy with Telenav. Granted there have been a few times I've had login errors or it won't connect very fast in a poor signal area, but it has been a life saver on many occasions. I think it is the easiest program to get up-to-date maps and POI's.

The biggest negative for me is battery life. Running around a major city for a few hours will really drain the battery, so some sort of car cradle with charging is a must.

I have been playing with iGo for the last few days, and compared to Tom Tom, and some of the others, I love it! If you have any questions about it, message me.
