Our solutions are tightly integrated with our mobile devices, allowing users to enjoy quality hands free communication with their phone book, music and competitive navigation.”

The device comes with a 4.3-inch screen and users would be able to connect their phone via Bluetooth to use the devices to make hands free calls.

Nokia added that they would sell the device preloaded with regional maps for the territory along with detailed travel information and points of interest.

It is expected to be available in the retail markets in some European markets before Christmas this year.

In addition to the Nokia 500 Auto Navigation device, the company also introduced the Nokia Bluetooth GPS Module LD-4W. This device has up to 10 hours of operating time and is designed to alert the user of GPS activation, power and battery, and Bluetooth connectivity status.
