Garmin Android Apps for Nuvi Devices

Garmin has update its Android apps to offer three new services: dynamic parking information, tracking and send to Nuvi.
The Dynamic Parking feature helps you locate parking areas close to your destination. For commercial garages, it also provides you with the number of spots available and the current cost of the parking spot. Covered are 42 major metropolitan areas and 79 airports in North America with details about the garage, including addresses, phone number, capacities, size regulations and prices (early-bird, evening, holiday, specials, etc.).

Garmin Tracker allows you to track the location of your nüvi on the Garmin website or with the Tracker app, so your friends and family can see where you’re headed. It is also possible to send a link via Facebook, Twitter or email to track you as you travel with your Nuvi.

Lastly, Smartphone Link now lets you send locations and addresses from Android’s Google Maps to your Nuvi. You can simply click on an address in Google Maps to open a pop-up window that will allow you to send it to your Nuvi via Smartphone Link.

Garmin add Google Street View to their app

Garmin announced some new features for the NAVIGON app on iPhone and Android. For iPhone, starting later this spring, Navigon will provide street-level photo of users’ destination which they pull from Google Street View. We’re not sure if this is such a big deal since this street level photos of your destination were already available on your Android device if you used Google Maps or just your computer and this Street View photo some times does not help at all to get to your destination.

As far as improving the Navigon app on the Android side you’ll soon get the active lane assistant which provides animated views of complex intersections so you won’t miss a turn. Other improvements are the NAVIGON widget on your home screens to search for POIs, bluetooth integration for voice announcements, and a traffic check function. Source: navigadget.com
