Nokia 500 Auto Navigation

Nokia 500 Auto Navigation

By Troy Dreier (laptopmag.com)

A cell phone maker tries its hand at GPS and delivers a dud.

Bluetooth for hands-free calling, Fast rerouting, Music, photo, and video features, Pronounces street names

Large size, Blandly colored maps, Weak FM transmitter, Outdated POI list

The FM transmitter was a big problem. It's weak and could play music over our car stereo only when the Nokia 500 was held directly against the radio. Even then, it was staticky. When the device was mounted to the windshield, we got no signal at all. ...

Odd companies have been vying for a piece of the GPS pie for quite some time ...
