The Nokia 500 series uses satellites to give you turn-by-turn directions.
The Nokia 500 PD-17 is a touchscreen Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) unit. In addition to providing turn-by-turn directions, these units come with video- and music-playing capabilities through external SD cards. You generally use the Nokia's DKE-2 USB cable to power the unit, but it also doubles as a connection to a PC. Free software available from Nokia allows you to update the unit's various software functions through your PC.
