With so many advanced GPS features and an easy-to-use interface, it's easy to see why the iWay 500C was the recipient of PC Magazine Editor's Choice Award and Laptop Editor's Award in 2005. But the iWay goes a step further by making sure that when you are relying on it to make your way, you'll never have to compromise on road safety. In addition to its voice guidance feature, the iWay 500C sports a Safety Passenger mode that allows a passenger to use the GPS features while the car is in motion.

These features combine to offer superb readability even under bright, sunlit conditions.
The iWay 500C is also designed to help you enjoy your time on the road. You can enjoy up to 10 GB of digital music files, or 5,000 compressed MP3s (depending on method of compression) on the device, which includes such music functions as browse files, play lists, repeat, shuffle, scan, and equalizer. Among the accessories that are included with the iWay 500C are a speaker/cigarette power adapter with volume control and 0.125-inch stereo jack, a hardwire adapter with 0.125-inch stereo jack for wiring into car's stereo system, and a suction-cup mounting bracket for windshield applications.

Highly Recommended
The iWay 500c is an incredible GPS that will rate at the top and at a lower price than anything with comparable features. You can read the specs yourself, what follows are my impressions of the unit.
The package includes 2 separate RAM-Mounts (one dash board and one windshield). I am new to RAM-Mounts and am very impressed with these excellent brackets. Additional RAM-mounts are available at a very reasonable price if you need them.
Also included are 3 power cords 1) automotive cigarette lighter, 2) a battery connection cable, 3) a 120v cable/cigarette female for indoor use. An external amplifying antenna is also included.
The screen is large and easy to read in all light conditions. There are 4 levels of back lighting. The touch screen and buttons work well and the interface is intuitive. The auto-zoom works great too.
The road selection software is good, but could use a little tweaking. My only complaint is that the "slider bar" to...

Exactly what I was looking for!
Finally, I have found the answer to our new vehicle purchase. We recently bought a new Ford Excusrion with all of the bells and whistles.... almost, anyway. As Ford doesn't have a decent Nav system available, and we didnt want to give up the in-dash 6 CD changer and steering wheel audio controls, we decided to go aftermarket on the nav. I came across this unit in Las Vegas and bought it, as it offered the turn-by-turn instructions and 3D mapping I was looking for. After a 6 hour drive back home, I am completely sold on the model. The unit is built very ruggedized, and looks as if it can take a lot of punishment. The navigation performed flawlessly and found a new route quickly after I decided I didn't want to go the way it told me to. The kit contains several mounting options.... a real plus! On the dash of the Excursion, the large 5" screen fits right in, without being obtrusive. I am looking into some mounting options, however. I will also be installing a seperate under-dash audio...
Great Navigator, Great Price, Best in Class
This little piece of gadgetry is absolutely wonderful. The large screen is the perfect size and is very clear and easy to read with a glance. It navigates great, you can switch from track up to north up to 3D view with a simple touch of the touch screen. It finds addresses and waypoints easily. It comes with all of the accessories made for it, including the external antennae. This fact makes it extremely adaptable and friendly. The voice directions are clear and correct. The price is great, especially if you shop around a bit. With its 10GB of MP3 I don't really use my 6 disc changer any more!
What I like: large color screen that can be read at a glance, lots of accessories, accuracy, Price. Certainly the best for the money.
What could be better: If the music player loaded wma as well as the MP3 and Ogg it now takes. If it had MGRS. If you could download waypoints from you computer so that you didn't have to add them individually.
