Pharos Traveler GPS 525:

 

  Pharos Traveler GPS 525The Pharos Traveler GPS 525 Portable Navigation System is the first pocket GPS device to combine Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 into a single, compact device. 

 

  With the GPS 525, you can access your Outlook e-mail and make PC-to-PC calls via Wi-Fi while you're traveling, and with its advanced GPS navigation tools, you'll never get lost. This is truly the first portable device that's designed for today's mobile professional.

 

  Preloaded with the top 50 U.S. metropolitan maps, the GPS 525 uses GPS satellites and digital street maps to show you where you are, locate points of interest, or set a route to your destination. The uniquely sensitive GPS receiver ensures you'll be able to get a position fix just about anywhere. 

 

  You can find hotspot locations while you're on the road, download maps over high-speed connections, look up Points of Interest (POI), and much more. The device includes a 512 MB SD card with maps of 50 major U.S. metro cities preloaded. A highly accurate and sensitive SiRFstarIII GPS receiver built into the GPS 525 will keep you on track, and voice-prompted, turn-by-turn directions will make navigation through unfamiliar territory a breeze. For car travel, the unit comes with a windshield bracket mount and 12-volt car charger.

 

  The device features an easy-to-see color screen with a durable windshield bracket mount that allows for both landscape and portrait screen orientation, as well as a three-dimensional mapping perspective or two-dimensional overhead view.

 

  In addition to its advanced GPS capabilities, the Pharos Traveler GPS 525 includes Microsoft Windows Mobile applications such as Pocket Outlook, Windows Media Player, and Internet Explorer. You can seamlessly sync GPS navigation with your Outlook database of contacts so you can navigate directly to any of your Outlook contact addresses. The Pharos Traveler will guide you along the way with voice-prompted, turn-by-turn instructions and will give you the choice of taking the highway or the back roads.

 

  The GPS 525 also features Voice Over Internet Protocol, or VOIP, functionality that operates via a built-in 802.11b wireless receiver with 64-128 bit WEP standard data encryption. In other words, having the GPS 525 in the palm of your hands will make you wonder if you ever need to go to the office again.
