As with other Garmin-Asus Android-powered devices, the A10\u2019s GPS capabilities are optimized to ensure that customers have the best location and navigation experience a smartphone can offer. Detailed maps are preloaded on the A10 so that users do not have to pay and wait for third party maps to download from a server, nor will they lose their turn-by-turn, voice-prompted navigation if they are out of cell phone coverage. In addition to pedestrian navigation, the A10 is ready for use in an automobile out-of-the-box, and it comes with a powered audio mount that magnifies the volume of the device\u2019s voice commands.<\/p>\n<p>The A10 is a full-featured smartphone on the Android platform that integrates Google\u2122 Mobile Services with one-click access to Google Maps\u2122, Gmail\u2122, YouTube\u2122, calendar, contacts and Android Market\u2122, where users can find more than 30,000 applications to expand and personalize their phone to fit their lifestyle. Android applications that include location-centric content are also able to utilize the A10\u2019s enhanced GPS capability.<\/p>\n<p>To optimize a user\u2019s ability to stay in touch with family, friends and business contacts, the A10 is compatible with Microsoft Exchange server and will wirelessly synchronize contacts, calendar and enterprise email. Account setup is quick and easy, and in a few simple steps users will have their contacts, calendar and email ready to go.<\/p>\n<p>Additional A10 smartphone features include a powerful WebKit browser with multi-touch, five mega-pixel camera including auto-focus capability that automatically geotags images with an exact location reference. The built-in accelerometer will quickly change the display so that screens may be viewed in portrait or landscape mode.<\/p>\n<p>The A10 also supports optional cityXplorer\u2122 maps, which makes it possible to plan and use routes that include public transit options such as bus, tramway, metro and suburban rail systems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Garmin-Asus, a co-branded alliance between Garmin\u00ae Ltd.\u00a0 and ASUSTeK\u00ae Computer Inc. , have announced the Garmin-Asus A10, a touchscreen smartphone running on the Android\u2122 platform that is optimized for pedestrian and in-car navigation.
