Car Nav with Mobiles

From the Press Release on how to get arrested while being driving around lost with a mobile to your ear:
...today announced Garmin Mobile(TM) 20 -- an automotive navigation system that delivers Garmin's voice-prompted, turn-by-turn directions using Bluetooth wireless technology on Nokia, Windows Mobile and Treo 650 Smartphones.

Ok, I was being funny, the mobile phone nav system comes with handsfree, which doesn't actually help your driving any, but makes the local police feel better.

Garmin Mobile 20 provides both data connectivity as well as hands-free capability and is packaged with the GPS 20SM(TM), a new mobile phone mount with a built-in, highly sensitive GPS receiver and Bluetooth-enabled speaker and microphone.

If only they would connect it to the memo function then we would hear "take the next left turn, stop at shop, buy milk and bread, continue for 1.2 kms." Now that would be useful. Oh and a GPS map of where you parked the thing - all red cars look the same.
