Garmin Nuvi 260 / 260W

garmin nuvi 260w review: A good, easy to use GPS, with great verbal speed and red light camera warnings which, unfortunately, aren't installed by default.

Simple interface with big icons, Compact windshield mount, Great verbal speed and red light camera warnings...

...but you'll have to wrestle demonic overlord of the internet first, Slow start-up time

A good, easy to use GPS, with great verbal speed and red light camera warnings which, unfortunately, aren't installed by default.

TomTom ONE V 4

TomTom One (4th generation) Review - GPS

By Derek Fung

Award: Editor's Choice!

tomtom one (4th generation) review: Both the One and XL are great GPS units: compact, correctable, good looking and easy to use. At AU$349 we'd pick the narrow screen One every time though.

The diet has made it slim and sexy, Easy-to-use interface, Make and share map corrections, Folds up compactly, Better value than the widescreen XL

No Bluetooth hands-free, Routing engine addicted to main roads

Both the One and XL are great GPS units: compact, correctable, good looking and easy to use. At RRP we'd pick the narrow screen One every time though.

HP iPAQ 300 Series Travel Companion (310,312,314,316,318)

hp ipaq 312 travel companion review: It may not be entirely rational buying a GPS for its beautiful screen and multimedia features, but the 312 almost makes the case despite its numerous bugs and flaws.

A screen to die for, Pleasing design, Multimedia features actually usable

Bluetooth support patchy, Text-to-speech poorly implemented, Speed and red-light camera locations not included, Pricey

It may not be entirely rational buying a GPS for its beautiful screen and multimedia features, but the 312 almost makes the case despite its numerous bugs and flaws.

Navman S50

Navman S50 Review - GPS

By Derek Fung

navman s50 review: This GPS is blessed with a good price and attractive design but is marred by its buggy Bluetooth and horrible windshield mount.

Attractive design, Does the navigation thing quite well, Good value, Big, wide screen, Simple menus

Crazy windshield mount, Buggy Bluetooth, Navpix next to useless, Sluggish response when trying to find satellites

This GPS is blessed with a good price and attractive design but is marred by its buggy Bluetooth and horrible windshield mount.

Navman S90i

Navman S90i Review - GPS

By Alex Kidman

navman s90i review: We'd love to heartily endorse the S90i but, like the spurned high school prom queen in every slasher flick ever made, its surface beauty is marred by intermittent spurts of insanity, and so we can't.

Great interface, Easy to use POI, Excellent text-to-speech, Bluetooth

Awful USB cradle, Intermittently insane directions

We'd love to heartily endorse the S90i but, like the spurned high school prom queen in every slasher flick ever made, its surface beauty is marred by intermittent spurts of insanity, and so we can't.

TomTom GO 720

tomtom go 720 review: Don't let its beautiful body tempt you, the TomTom Go 720 is both too pricey and too buggy. The cliche

Beautiful body, Wide-screen

FM transmission weak, Bluetooth occasionally causes complete silence, Text-to-speech not preloaded, Too expensive by half

Don't let its beautiful body tempt you, the TomTom Go 720 is both too pricey and too buggy. The cliche "beauty is only skin deep" is particularly apt here.

TomTom ONE V3

tomtom one 3rd edition review: TomTom have fiddled at the edges in the upgrade from Slim Edition to 3rd Edition, but the competitive price makes the One a worthy player in the entry-level GPS market.

Navman S30

Navman S30 Review - GPS

By Derek Fung

navman s30 review: This good looking, entry-level GPS is let down by design niggles -- chief amongst which is the car charger, windscreen mount combo.

Easy to use, Big, clear speed camera warnings

Erratic audio warnings for safety cameras, USB car charger design very irritating

This good looking, entry-level GPS is let down by design niggles -- chief amongst which is the car charger, windscreen mount combo.
