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 (see Maps tab for compatible maps). 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.

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
