garmin 10X bluetooth gps receiver official
Sep 13, 2006 bluetooth, garmin, gps navigation

Back in July we had picture of Mobile 10X from FCC’s website while it was waiting for government approval. Today, Garmin officially announced the arrival of Mobile 10X, a bluetooth GPS receiver that can turn any bluetooth enabled laptop, and most smartphones, pocket PC’s into a navigation device, giving users the same high-quality map and navigation features found on other Garmin automotive GPS devices.
The sleek and compact GPS 10x sensor comes with a removable clip that makes it easy to carry or secure in a car. It has a removable lithium-ion battery for up to 20-hours of use, and a 12-volt USB adaptor for recharging and extended use. For added convenience, the GPS 10x battery is interchangeable with the battery on many popular Nokia phones.
Priced at $200 this is what’s included in the package:
- GPS 10x
- City Navigator® NT street maps on DVD
- Garmin Mobile XT and nRoute navigation software on DVD
- Lithium-ion battery
- Belt clip
- 12-volt adapter cable
- Quick start guide
In case you are wondering the device measures 1.65″ x 3.04″ x .7″ (4.2 x 7.7 x 1.8 cm) and weighs 2.1 ounces (60 g). Garmin 10X mobile should be available in November.

Will this be compatible with Mac’s?

Is there a Mobile 5.0 installer for the software?
Is there a Mac installer for the software?
Will this receiver work on PDA’s with other software installed?
TIA

probably no Mac support at all, at the bottom of the product page it says:
“Minimum PC requirements: …” and never mentions Mac, which indirectly suggests there’s no Mac support.
But Garmin is expected to provide Mac compatibility for bunch of its hardware and software at the end of this year.

the software might not support Mac but the device does since it’s bluetooth and bluetooth is a simple wireless standard. Im thinking about buying it to use with my Inav Guidance on my smartphone, not for there software.

WIll I be able to buy the unti alone (i.e. OEM)? And will it work with the regular City Navigator DVD (i.e. NOT the NT version). I have the mapping software and just want the unit… if it’ll work.
Thanks,
Mick
