More and more companies are trying to get a piece of the GPS pie, including the cell phone maker Nokia which came up with the Nokia 500 Auto Navigation. The Nokia 500 has a 4.3-inch display and a thickness of 0.9 inches, which is thicker than the more recent GPS navigators. Plotting a route is a simple process - provided that you have an address. The scant 1.7 million-POI database is out-of-date, failing to find stores that have been around for years. Despite the maps’ bland colors, the reviewer noted that using the Nokia 500 for navigating is a cinch. Rerouting wasn’t a problem as well, taking only 3 seconds to display a new route. It offers several extras such as an audio player, photo viewer, video player, and the capability to work with Bluetooth. You can easily expand the included 2GB storage card to add more media and play it using the onboard software. While the Nokia 500 Auto Navigation is a capable multimedia GPS, it needs to work on the basics such as the scarce POI database and even the design to catch up with the top GPS players.
