The miniSD card will set you back $99, and Garmin claims there s no subscription fees to continue using the software. However, a small part of the press release mentioned, for updates subscription charges then apply. I take that to mean that if you d like to update the software in the future, you ll need to pay some unknown amount of additional fees.
The Mobile XT software supports maps and locations in the UK, Europe, Ireland, or the United States and Canada, which leads me to believe that you can t have all of the maps in one microSD device which would have been a solid feature for international travelers. Garmin claims the microSD card is supported by phones from Samsung, Sony Ericsson, HP, HTC, and Nokia; the software will also run on Windows Mobile, S60 v.3, and Palm OS.
