This kind of boggles my mind. Horribly overpriced for the handset, and then the gall to charge 5.99/month for information that can be found for FREE on applications for just about any smartphone platform.
So you could pay LESS for an iPhone 3G, a blackberry, or a Samsung Jack, and NOT pay for the apps that give you “local information”.
Oh, and they all have free Google Maps OR high quality 3rd party GPS options.
Can I have whatever Garmin was smoking when they rolled this out?
