On my Samsung Omnia (Windows Mobile 6) smartphone, I've got the 'Garmin Mobile XT' v.5.00 Satellite Navigation software. The first best thing in my opinion about this software is that all the maps/software is installed on a (MicroSD) memory card and therefore when navigating, it doesn't need to stream maps using 3G/GPRS data at cost.Garmin Mobile XT compared to Garmin Mobile on a Blackberry has more features/functionality. The 'Where to?' command from the main menu offers: Home, Addresses, Points of Interest, Local Search, Recent Finds, Contacts, My Locations, Extras, Cities, Intersections, Panoramio Photos, Location Messages and Coordinates (YEAH!!!, I really like this facility). Some facilities of Garmin Mobile XT do need a data connection via 3G/GPRS, e.g. Panoramio Photos, Weather and Safety Cameras.
The SatNav software can work in portrait or landscape mode and in general works a lot more like the software in a Garmin Nuvi SatNav.
