Amazon.com Product Description

The Emerson NV-5000 is a versatile in-car navigation system featuring accurate and detailed street maps of the United States. Powered by the Windows CE operating system, the NV-5000 uses navigation software from Pharos, a company that also provides software for a host of other mobile GPS devices.

After downloading maps to the unit from your computer via a USB connection, you can use the NV-5000's intuitive controls to get door to door directions. Navigation is made easy with a full-color touch screen and continuous GPS tracking to update your current position. To make driving easier and safer, the NV-5000 provides turn-by-turn voice guidance and automatic zoom-in when approaching turns.

Not only does the NV-5000 allow you to store all of your favorite addresses for future use, you can also use its large database of POI's (Points of Interest) as destinations. The unit also has plenty of room for growth. Its 128 MB internal memory stores all your frequently used maps, plus there's an SD Card slot that lets you expand to 1 GB of storage using an optional SD Card. The unit comes ready to use out of the box, with all necessary accessories included. The bundled Pharos software requires a Microsoft Windows-compatible PC (see technical data for full system requirements).

What's in the box:
NV-5000 unit, cigarette lighter power adapter, antenna receiver, stylus, usb cable, flexible mounting hardware, Pharos United States mapping CDs, warranty card.

When you download maps you must also download active sync. Then, it gets more complicated. We got into the car and it will not accept addresses - so we were told to remove everything from our computer and reinstall. If you are good with computers and GPS systems this may not be a problem. We like to go everywhere. And could not figure out how to work this. If you are not very good with technological things your best bet would be something with pre-loaded maps.
