USB to your PC. You need to have Microsoft Active Sync (supplied on  
CD) installed first.

a method of synchronizing, you can select ‘Guest mode’.

button. This shows you the data stored on the Nav500. If you double

My Photos folders. You can copy and paste or drag-and-drop any  
music or photos into these folders from your computer hard drive or CD-
