The Navman S500 is one of the new navigation tools to be launched this year. The device is set to feature at the high end of the price spectrum and combines both an attractive appearance with excellent functionality.

With a weight of 160 g, and a thickness of 13.95 mm, there is no doubt that this is actually one of the more portable units to hit the market. With a thickness only slightly more than an average phone, you can slip the unit into your pocket. The touch screen is nice and bright allowing you to view your maps on it even in dim light. The 480 x 272 pixels resolution is really good as even your photos can be displayed on this screen with high detail. This display measures 4.7 inches diagonally, which is a nice size as it allows you to access all your applications with just a tap on the screen. The Integrated Real-time Traffic information allows you to reach your destination as fast as possible bypassing any traffic blocks on the way.

You can plan your routes according to your specifications. All the routes are displayed on the screen from the most economical, to the fastest, and the safest. The Navman S500 even comes with preloaded safety camera data and a speed detector allowing you to drive safely at all times. The Text to speech convertor allows you to get information about the time, how far you are from your destination and estimated time of arrival without having to look at the screen each time.

The SiRFstarIII with InstantFixII allows you to fix onto the signal easily as soon as you switch on the device. This means that the signal is accurate even if your view of the sky is slightly obstructed. Read all the Navman S500 reviews online for more details.
