How to Sync Windows to a CE 5.0-Based PND
If you're constantly on the go, odds are you use a personal navigation device, or PND. Many of the more recent PNDs come equipped with Windows CE, a compact version of the Windows operating system. PND manufacturers frequently update their databases with new maps and traffic light information, and they make this data available to users who have purchased their devices. You can obtain this information by syncing your Windows computer to a CE-based PND.
