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Large size, Blandly colored maps, Weak FM transmitter, Outdated POI list

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