mio digiwalker c520 review: Bluetooth, text-to-speech, massive screen and good looks make the C520 a good GPS. Its great price transforms it into a great GPS.

Price, Good looks, 4.3-inch LCD is beautiful to behold, Windscreen mount now much easier to use, Bluetooth hands-free, Text-to-speech can handle Aussie names

Slow route calculation, Occasional mid-word pauses in speech, Illegal u-turn bug still present

mio digiwalker c220 review: A highly customisable entry-level GPS which focuses on its core task of navigation but requires a bit of acclimatisation to get the best out of.

Predictive text keyboard, Speed and red light cameras displayed on map by default, Highly customisable interface ...

... that required a fair degree of familiarisation, Struggled with tall buildings in the CBD, Insisted we perform illegal u-turns to get back onto preferred route

A highly customisable entry-level GPS which focuses on its core task of navigation but requires a bit of acclimatisation to get the best out of.

LG is hoping that this good-looking GPS unit with text-to-speech technology will entice you away from the established names in the field.

tomtom one xl review: The TomTom One XL's extra screen width is useful on the road, but it adds little else for the extra AU$100 you pay over the standard One.

Simple, intuitive menus, Extra screen girth is welcome

Probably not worth the extra AU$100 over the standard One, Slow route calculation

road angel navigator 3000 review: The Road Angel Navigator 3000 enters the entry-level GPS fray and provides formidable competition. We wish it came with an AC charger and better instructions, though.

Improved interface, Quick signal pickup, Fast re-routing

No AC charger supplied, Not USB powered, Poor multimedia functionality

Pioneer attempts to muscle in on the portable GPS party with the chic-looking, Bluetooth-enabled AVIC-S2.

Neat looks, Bluetooth for hands-free mobile usage, Map button doesn't go back to the map, Pricey

Map button doesn't go back to the map, Pricey

Pioneer, late to the Aussie GPS market, is hoping to make a splash in the top end of the market with the AVIC-HD3 -- an integrated double-DIN, GPS, music, video and communications unit.

nokia 330 auto navigation review: Nokia has made a decent first attempt at offering a personal navigation device but the product is marred by the lack of Bluetooth, and is outdone by its better equipped and similarly priced rivals.

512MB external memory plus 256MB internal flash, Small size, Excellent maps

Lacks Bluetooth, No text-to-speech function, Slow route-calculation

Nokia has made a decent first attempt at offering a personal navigation device but the product is marred by the lack of Bluetooth, and is outdone by its better equipped and similarly priced rivals.

Despite the fact that on paper the gogo CM 310 seems to have quite a wide feature set, it's ultimately let down by the fact that, GPS aside, it doesn't really perform any of its extra features particularly well.

GPS Antennae doubles as a stand, Quick route recalculation, GPS "ears" double as signal indicators

Touch screen is a touch insensitive, Poor screen mount, 3D maps omit street names

The Gogo CM 310 GPS system offers a nice range of features, but it's also plagued by some rather odd bugs, and doesn't compete particularly well in the low-cost GPS market.

No doubt as ASUS continues to bring products to market in the GPS category they'll offer the latest gadgets, but for now it seems like they're testing the waters.
