Difference from the Navigator 500: the main change is the display. The 520 uses the larger, sharper HD HyperDisplay (1280 x 720) versus the 500’s 854 x 480. The chipset, camera, battery, ruggedness and modular design are shared, and a Navigator 500 boom arm can be swapped for the 520 HyperDisplay arm.
