Turn your PDA into a wireless GPS navigator with the TomTom Navigator 5 Bluetooth wireless GPS system. The easy-to-use device, which boasts straightforward touch-screen operation and an intuitive interface, navigates directly from your PDA's address book by integrating TomTom's software into the PDA menu. Once installed, the unit delivers clear and accurate spoken instructions and 3D maps that lead you from point A to point B, with no wrong turns or questionable routes in between. To ensure that each calculated route meets your expectations, the TomTom Navigator 5 even lets you review and test the directions before you actually start driving--a good way to avoid notorious speed traps or rush hour traffic jams. The Navigator 5 gets things started by offering an extensive guided tour, which quickly demonstrates all the features and helps you maximize the GPS experience. Users will also appreciate the dynamic status bar, which they can customize to improve utility, and the useful onscreen tips that pop up when needed. And thanks to the millions of points of interest (POI), you'll be able to find parking lots, gas stations, hotels, restaurants, and more in virtually any city in the country. Plus, the device offers an automatic alert option that tells you when a certain POI is approaching.
The receiver uses Bluetooth wireless technology to communicate with your PDA, eliminating the need for cumbersome connecting cables, while the high-performance GPS antenna ensures the best possible reception at all times. The receiver is particularly ideal in urban environments--whether driving or walking around city streets--as the antenna can pick up signals amongst skyscrapers and other traditional GPS impediments. Just as conveniently, the Navigator 5 is one of the smallest and lightest wireless GPS receivers in existence, fitting easily in your pocket, purse, or backpack.
Additional features include multilingual voice instructions in more than 30 languages, with both male and female voices (the user interface offers 18 languages of its own); a compass mode that gives you even more orientation while driving or hiking; and a high-capacity battery that lasts up to five hours on a single charge. The device is also compatible with TomTom Plus services, which offers traffic and weather information, plus additional voices, points of interest, and more.
