Manufacturer Description

Nokia 500 GPS Navigation
Completely loaded with features, the Nokia 500 Auto Navigation is Nokia's finest handsfree dedicated personal navigation device for convenient in-car navigation and communication. In addition to integrated GPS and competitive in-car navigation features, the device also acts as a complete Bluetooth handsfree system for your compatible mobile phone. The Nokia 500 Auto Navigation has a wide (4.3 inch) color screen which makes it easy to search through your contacts and make and receive calls, and the handsfree speaker system with Digital Signal Processing (DSP) provides excellent audio quality.

Navigation made easy
It couldn't be easier - equipped with high-sensitivity GPS and Nokia Maps navigation software of North America, the Nokia 500 Auto Navigation gives clear spoken and visual directions (turn-by-turn, including street and city names).

The integration between the device's navigation and communication features also lets you receive contact details for the points of interest you pass on your journey so you can call directly, or get directions to addresses already stored in your contacts.

Information at your fingertips
With the device's Traffic Message Channel Service (where available) you can avoid all those tiresome traffic jams, and get to your destination more quickly. The device also has an intuitive Nokia interface, featuring a split screen which displays additional information alongside the main screen to help with your navigation. This split screen features essential guidance information such as details on your next turn, estimated time of arrival and distance remaining, ensuring these details are always accessible.

On the road entertainment
For longer journeys, keep yourself and your passengers entertained with the Nokia 500 Auto Navigation's advanced entertainment features. Listen to music from the integrated music player, or for those down-times on the road, view photographs or watch videos, making any roadtrip a fun trip! The Nokia 500 Auto Navigation device also plays music through your car's FM radio using the built-in FM Transmitter.
