Garmin Nuvi 500 Multi-mode GPS with Southern Africa Topographic & Recreational Maps

Drive, hike, bike or boat. With the rugged, waterproof, multi-mode Garmin nuvi 500, you can do it all. Packed with detailed street and topographic maps, the Garmin nuvi 500 is ready for adventure both on and off the beaten path. Like the Garmin nuvi 550, the Garmin nuvi 500 switches modes to navigate your active lifestyle and provides spoken turn-by-turn directions (with text-to-speech) to your destination

Take It Anywhere
The Garmin nuvi 500 features driving, walking, bicycling and boating modes which customize your nuvi specifically for your method of travel. This portable hybrid combines the advanced navigation features and large, color display found in automotive units with the durability of an outdoor handheld. Sleek and slim, you can slip the Garmin nuvi 500 into your pocket or backpack. The user-replaceable, rechargeable lithium-ion battery lets nüvi navigate you on roads

Get Turn-by-Turn Directions
The Garmin nuvi 500's intuitive interface greets you with two simple questions: "Where To?" and "View Maps." Touch the color screen to easily look up addresses and services and get voice-prompted turn-by-turn directions to your destination. It comes preloaded with City Navigator NT map data for Sa Streetmaps.

If you're lost, use the Where Am I? emergency locator to view your exact latitude and longitude coordinates, the nearest address and intersection, and the closest hospitals, police stations and fuel stations.
