Aren't you much better off buying a standalone GPS unit and leaving it in your car or moving it from car to car? Costs no more, has a touchscreen......

The only advantage of Garmin maps on your Blackberry is if you need GPS while walking around. If you do, download Blackberry maps (see threads elsewhere telling you how to do it), as I did, and you have a free GPS system on your phone.
A couple of very nice advantages of using Garmin Mobile on your BlackBerry are keeping track of one less device; having GPS with you all the time (my Bold is always close at hand); but perhaps the best difference is the integration with all your contacts.
