The AirCard 595U comes with easy-to-install, easy-to-use Watcher software that provides a common look and feel across all Sierra Wireless products. Users can acquire accurate mapping directions to client appointments or the closest restaurant using the GPS and LBS functions, which determines the exact location of the modem and calculates all the directions accordingly.
