Why Buy Me
Drive, hike, bike or boat. With the rugged, waterproof, multi-mode Garmin Nuvi 500, you can do it all. Packed with detailed street maps and a microSD card slot for optional mapping, nuvi 500 is ready for adventure both on and off road. The Garmin Nuvi500 switches modes to navigate your active lifestyle and provides spoken turn-by-turn directions to your destination. Garmin Nuvi 500 Take It Anywhere Garmin Nuvi 500 features driving, walking, bicycling and boating modes which customise your nuvi specifically for your method of travel. This portable hybrid combines the advanced navigation features and large, colour display found in automotive units with the durability of an outdoor handheld. Sleek and slim, you can slip the Garmin Nuvi500 into your pocket or backpack. The user-replaceable, rechargeable lithium-ion battery lets nuvi navigate you on roads or off.
Garmin Nuvi 500 Get Turn-by-Turn Directions Garmin Nuvi 500's intuitive interface greets you with two simple questions: "Where to?" and "View Map." Touch the colour screen to easily look up addresses and services and get voice-prompted turn-by-turn directions to your destination. It comes preloaded with City Navigator NT map data for Australia and New Zealand. It's packed with over 600,000 points of interest (POIs) and features maps with shaded relief. With the GArmin Nuvi500, 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.
Garmin Nuvi 500 Optional Mapping Garmin Nuvi 500 accepts optional mapping for all of your outdoor adventures. Conveniently plug in BlueChart g2 Vision 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, Garmin Nuvi500 locates your position quickly and precisely and maintains its GPS location even in heavy cover and near tall building and trees.
