Elegant Distractions

I recently bought the Garmin nüvi 360 GPS Navigator. I picked this model in large part because it has Bluetooth handsfree capability. The product description on the Garmin site has a link to their list of compatable phones. I did not check this list because my phone works with Bluetooth. I've had a couple of different BT headsets over the past few years.

And yet.

Garmin has found a way to limit their phone support. My stupid old, tiny Motorola BT headset can talk to any capable phone but Garmin can't figure out how to do that. Their list of supported phones is miniscule and doesn't include several of the hot LG models (or phones, for that matter).

I'd think that if the idiots at Motorolla can find a way to stuff BT into their headsets that are the size of rabbit turds, well, then, the big brains at Garmin (who are famous for aircraft avionics) could read up on BT standards and get all the phones online with their GPS systems.

C'mon Garmin, get with the program.
