What I did today

[hexydes]

I love this phone. ;)

1. Enabled GPS (Garmin).

2. Set destination (McDonald's, yum!).

3. Hooked the phone up to my car stereo (I have been using my phone as my MP3 player for my commute for the last year, previously with my 8525), which allowed me to hear voice commands from the GPS.

4. Figured...hmm...I have a "headset" hooked up I guess...wonder if the FM Radio will work...indeed it does! :D

So I was able to have my GPS running (vocal commands over stereo, map on screen) with the FM Radio running in the background (I'm assuming this will work as well with my MP3 collection).

Needless to say, I'm stoked about my new phone. :D

Yes, I believe that Garmin's map set/software starts at $99 now. This is the one you'd be looking at for the Touch Pro:

How did you get Garmin on the Diamond? If you could let me know I would appreciate it. I have GMXT on micro SD now and know it can be done but do not have exact instructions. Also, I thought that FM transmitters only broadcast over certain lower stations, how can you still listen to the radio (presumably a different radio station) and still here GPS instructions?
