The devices used 8MB or 16MB cartridges, onto which mapping data was loaded from the user's computer, at a chosen detail level (8MB covered the Atlanta Metropolitan Area at high detail, or a greater area at highway-level detail). A revised model with 240x128 color screen, the StreetPilot ColorMap was introduced soon after, adding information on services available at highway exits. It had a 240x160 black and white screen and a database of nearby services and attractions, with on-screen routing. The first Garmin StreetPilot was introduced at CES 1998.

In addition to navigation, Garmin Mobile XT includes free access to Garmin Online(TM) so that customers have useful, constantly-updating information at their fingertips like real-time traffic, fuel prices, hotel prices and weather forecasts. PeerPoints is the perfect way to keep track of friends and family and navigate to them with the touch of a button. Garmin Mobile XT also includes PeerPoints(TM), a powerful feature enabling users to send their position to any other phone as well as view and navigate to the location of other Garmin Mobile XT users. Garmin Mobile XT users also have the benefit of routing to the location of a contact in their phone's address book or to a calendar appointment (on supported platforms). Thanks to Garmin's vast product line and ability to leverage technology from the other GPS markets Garmin serves, Garmin Mobile XT builds in unique features such as support for travel guides, topo maps and custom points of interest, as well as advanced features such as route planning with saved routes, custom avoidances and visible trip logs. If a turn is missed along the way, a new route will be recalculated automatically. In addition to turn-by-turn, voice prompted directions, users will also see their exact position on a detailed moving map. With a few screen or button taps, customers can easily route to a specific street address or choose from millions of points of interest - such as restaurants, hotels, ATMs, and gas stations. Customers are then greeted with Garmin's intuitive "Where to?" and "View map" welcome screen.
