Mio C310

As an entry level machine, the Mio C310 works well and comes packaged with all the accessories you need, but be sure to practice on known routes until you get the hang of how to program where you want to go.

Includes latest Sensis map data for 2006, Repeats instructions several times with plenty of time to ensure you know where youre going, Syncs with Outlook to easily download contacts, Instruction booklet isnt that great for first-time GPS users, MP3 ...

Instruction booklet isn't that great for first-time GPS users, MP3 player only plays MP3 files

TomTom One

TomTom One Review - GPS

By Matt Overington

In-car GPS navigation systems are a boon for anybody that spends a lot of time driving from A to B. TomTom's One is designed to deliver directions en route and allow the driver to concentrate on the road.

Fast, Unparalleled array of connectivity options, Two integrated cameras, High resolution screen, Huge QWERTY keypad leads to painless data entry, Swivel screen adds versatility, Easy-to-use, Outstanding navigation

Expensive, Design isn't suitable for use as your full-time phone, Large and heavy, Camera shots are grainy, No printed manual, Tricky to reset mid-route

If you spent a lot of time driving around unfamiliar areas, the TomTom One could save enormous amounts of time and frustration. Granted, the design does have a couple of minor issues, and the lack of a printed manual is a little irksome, but the ...

Road Angel Navigator

GPS technology has come a long way in the Road Angel Navigator, but for real benefit on the road, it still has a way to go.

Navman ICN 520

The Navman iCN 520 scores higly for ease of use and the power of its features, but falls down on getting an initial GPS fix on your location.

Detailed maps, Easy to carry or install, Touchscreen or button interface, Good for use outside the car, Poor initial GPS fix, Some map data is out of date, Touchscreen interface is tricky in some places

Mio 268

Mio 268 Review - GPS

By David McAmis

Mio 268 could be a novelty for casual drivers, but for the road-warrior, it's a must-have.

Intuitive user interface, Short learning curve, MP3 player built-in, Slow start-up, Some misspellings/translation errors in UI

Possibly too small for some business uses, MiniSD card rather than full-sized SD, Slow start-up, Some misspellings/translation errors in UI

Garmin StreetPilot c320

You won't see it as a novelty, but an obvious replacement for that dog-eared Gregorys.

A well designed device in both form and function, Eight hour internal battery

No bluetooth call feature, Not as many languages as competing products

A competent in-car GPS navigation unit that is hard to fault

TomTom GO 500

The TomTom Go 500 is an easy to use and exceptionally clever little GPS device for in-car navigation.

Good navigation tools, Doubles as a bluetooth handsfree kit

Dodgy navigation choices

Musicmatch Jukebox 10.0

Musicmatch Jukebox 10.0 Review - Music Software

By Rebecca Viksnins and James Kim, CNET.com

This music jukebox/subscription service/store combination does it all, but its playlist-centric interface can cause confusion.

Radical interface upgrade offers speedier performance and customisation, On Demand subscription service nicely integrated into jukebox, Remote access to On Demand, Share playlists with non-Musicmatch friends, All-in-one player, ripper, encoder, burner ...

Audiocentric jukebox has no support for video or photos, Annoying "upgrade to Plus version" offers, Some may balk at playlist-centric design
