It uses an unused frequency on the FM band. Setting it up is quite easy. It also has WAAS capability which increases the accuracy of the unit. I paid about $400 last year, so the price should have come down quite a bit. Anyway, my two cents' worth.
Just tested one out for accuracy this weekend, outside of not having a specific address for one of the locations (thus we went in a circle), it seemed pretty accurate. These are going to be gifts for our daughters, so we did not load up the disk to learn much; glad to hear about the FM aspect.
Our thoughts - the battery life was ok, but these are not meant to be something you take in the woods. The voice was a little hard to hear with the top down as the articulation was computerish (go figure). Overall I think they were a good value from Amazon about a week or so back and were I not targeting a potential Kenwood stereo w/GPS, I'd get one of these for me and may still when I get serious. I loved it when we went off the directed course and she got a little attitude when saying "recalculating"; nothing like having a GPS and navigator getting mad at you for not following their directions
