Navigon 2000S

The Navigon 2000S offers advanced lane guidance and other visual aids for complicated intersections. The portable navigation device also has text-to-speech functionality, an affordable price tag, and improved general performance

Satellite acquisition is painfully slow, and route recalculations can sometimes be sluggish

The Navigon 2000S portable navigation device offers a great value, but the slow satellite acquisition time makes for a frustrating experience.

Garmin Nuvi 265T / 265WT

The Garmin Nuvi 265WT offers integrated Bluetooth and a lifetime of free traffic alerts. The portable GPS also has a spacious touch screen and text-to-speech functionality

We wish the audible traffic alerts and route recalculations were a little faster. Call quality was mixed

Despite some minor performance issues, the Garmin Nuvi 265WT is a good value GPS, offering a number of high-end features for an affordable price.

JVC KW-NX7000

Text-to-speech and very accurate GPS navigation make getting around with the JVC KW-NX7000 easy. The touch-screen interface is intuitive and responsive, with a proximity sensor that displays touch areas as your hand approaches the device. The SD card ...

Browsing music stored on an iPod is painfully slow. Bluetooth hands-free calling requires the purchase and installation of an additional module

With clever applications of a wide range of features, the JVC KW-NX7000 is one of the few GPS navigation receivers that we've actually had fun testing.

Mio Knight Rider

The Mio Knight Rider GPS features the original voice of KITT from the TV show and also has flashing LEDs to make a GPS like no other. The portable navigation system is easy to use and compact

Text-to-speech functionality doesn't come out of the box ; you have to load it from the software CD. The hardware feels a bit cheap, and route recalculations can sometimes be slow

The Mio Knight Rider GPS is a portable navigation device like no other, featuring the voice of KITT, but behind all the fun, you'll also find a solid, entry-level in-car GPS.
