Marketing Information |
Drive, hike, bike or boat. With the
rugged, waterproof, multi-mode nüvi 500, you can do it all. Packed with
detailed street and topographic maps, nüvi 500 is ready for adventure
both on and off the beaten path. Like the 550, nüvi 500 switches modes
to navigate your active lifestyle and provides spoken turn-by-turn
directions to your destination.
Take It Anywhere
nüvi 500 features driving, walking, bicycling and boating modes which
customize your nüvi specifically for your method of travel. This
portable hybrid combines the advanced navigation features and large,
color display found in automotive units with the durability of an
outdoor handheld. Sleek and slim, you can slip nüvi 500 into your pocket
or backpack. The user-replaceable, rechargeable lithium-ion battery lets
nüvi navigate you on roads or off.
Get Turn-by-Turn Directions
nüvi 500's intuitive interface greets you with two simple questions:
"Where to?" and "View Map." Touch the color screen to easily look up
addresses and services and get voice-prompted, turn-by-turn directions
that speak street names to your destination. It comes preloaded with
City Navigator® NT map data for the lower 48 states, Hawaii and Puerto
Rico or one European region or country (click Versions tab to view all).
It’s packed with millions of points of interest (POIs) and features
digital elevation maps that show you shaded terrain contours at higher
zoom levels. With nüvi 500, you can upload custom points of interest
(POIs) and navigate to geo-tagged photos. If you're lost, use the Where
Am I? emergency locator to view your exact latitude and longitude
coordinates, the nearest address and intersection, and the closest
hospitals, police stations and fuel stations.
Navigate Off-Road
nüvi 500 also includes preloaded U.S. topographic maps and accepts
optional mapping for all of your outdoor adventures. Conveniently plug
in BlueChart® g2 and Inland Lakes marine maps on a microSD™ card for a
great day on the water. The card slot is located inside the waterproof
battery compartment, so you don't have to worry about getting it wet.
With its high-sensitivity GPS receiver and HotFix™ satellite prediction,
nüvi 500 locates your position quickly and precisely and maintains its
GPS location even in heavy cover, deep canyons and near tall building
and trees.
Expand Your GPS
Navigation is just the beginning. nüvi 500 includes many travel tools,
including world travel clock with time zones, currency converter,
measurement converter, calculator and more. Show off photos of your
excursions with nüvi's picture viewer. Even download geocaches and
instructions from Geocaching.com straight to your unit. nüvi 500 comes
preloaded with a free MAD Maps scenic road trip for Historic Route 66.
Get turn-by-turn directions on motorcycle-friendly roads and insider
tips for an unforgettable ride across America. It supports optional FM
traffic alerts or optional MSN® Direct content. The 500 also features
Garmin Lock™, an anti-theft feature, and is compatible with our free
Garmin Garage, where you can download custom vehicles that show your
location on the map. |
