Road Angel Navigator 7000

The Navigator 7000 is a fine GPS system with oodles of add-on safety features, but its complexity is also its Achilles heel. Read our Australian review.

Navman F20

Navman F20 Review - GPS

By Siddharth Raja

Navman's F20 portable GPS is aimed at users after a simple and reliable navigation system, but it still includes features found on much more expensive models as well as few handy traits of its own.

Full QWERTY keyboard, Simple lock/unlock procedure, Quad-band GSM, SD card support, Slim and sexy design, Lightweight, BlackBerry's email and business functionality, Multimedia capabilities, Inclusion of a camera, Quadband, Flash memory and microSD ...

Sluggish performance, Audio quality could be better, Physical dialling pad is tiny, Awful VGA camera, No 3G connectivity, No QWERTY keypad, No Wi-Fi, Poor camera quality, Uncomfortable stylus, Not enough user-definable buttons, Camera could be better, ...

A portable GPS that's simple to use and reliable, and is a good start for those after a well priced and accurate navigation device.

Requires camera's clock to be set, Few controls or display, Minimalist bundled software, Accuracy is unpredictable

Small and unassuming, the Cyber Shot GPS-CS1 is about the size of two D batteries and comes with a plastic carabiner so you can clip it to your backpack or any other clippable object. Controls? Not many. The only readily accessible button is its power ...
