Got a case of screen-size envy? You just might after seeing the Magellan RoadMate 1700 GPS. It offers a bright, brilliant 7-inch screen for a very reasonable $299 (direct). While it doesn't boast a ton of features, it's an excellent choice for anyone ...

Big, bright 7-inch screen. Sharp map graphics. Easy POI searches. Useful AAA TourBook

No real-time traffic reports. Doesn't display the current road speed limit. Display could be more informative. Might not fit on some dashboards or windshields

The Magellan RoadMate 1700 is a top choice for anyone who buys their gadgets by the inch. You won't find this much screen real estate for this little cash with any other GPS on the market.

It's no secret that GPS prices have fallen tremendously in the past year. Most come in at under $300; and there are plenty of capable models available for less than $200, and that's not even counting the year-or-two-old models that have been ...

Very affordable for a device with a 4.3-inch screen and text-to-voice conversion. Accurate directions

Cluttered, sluggish UI. Limited, difficult-to-search POI database. No real-time traffic, lane-assist feature, or speed limit postings

The Moov M400 will appeal to many given its rock-bottom price, but Mio cuts too many corners along the way, and delivers a GPS that's difficult to use.

While the $299.99 (direct) TomTom XXL 540-S offers up a large 5-inch screen and a well designed, integrated mount in a slim package, it lacks some of the more advanced features of competing units, such as real-time traffic updates, an MP3 player, and ...

Big 5-inch screen. Responsive interface. Fast boot-up and lock-in. Accurate directions. Easy POI searches

No real-time traffic reporting. Dated map graphics

The TomTom XXL 540-S isn't the flashiest device on the market, but it offers a larger-than-average screen and comprehensive routing capabilities at a reasonable price.

the device displays ads.

Accurate directions. Slick software design. Google-powered services are a boon. Solid traffic reporting. Useful elevation readings

Bundled data subscription expires after two years. Displays ads. Still requires extra-cost map updates like any other GPS. Connected services not integrated with main POI database. On-board EDGE radio caused GSM buzz in our car stereo

Garmin's impressive nüvi 1690 integrates connected services and offers plenty of routing options, but the high price and mandatory ads—even when you're not using said services—are turn-offs.

Responsive touch screen. Detailed voice prompts. Fast route recalculations. Handy "Find Your Car" feature helps you locate your vehicle in a crowded parking lot

Inconsistent voice recognition. Takes a long time to lock location. A little buggy

A slim and flexible navigation device, the Magellan Maestro 4700 features a big 4.7-inch screen and serves up clear and accurate turn-by-turn directions; forget about talking to it, though.

Out of the box, the Magellan Maestro 4370 is almost identical to its predecessor, the Maestro 4350. But when you switch the unit on, you see the difference, the 4370 sports a ultra-high-resolution touch screen. Originally, the Maestro 4370 hit the ...

Beautiful, ultra-high resolution screen. Very sharp map and 3D landmark graphics. Accurate navigation. Powerful routing options. Useful AAA guide. Can calculate up to three route profiles simultaneously

Touch screen can be stubborn at times. Interface sometimes showed slight lag in our tests. Lacks current speed display in map view

The Magellan Maestro 4370's low list price and stellar screen resolution cements its status as a solid navigator, despite some touch-screen issues.

If you're a golfer, the name Callaway surely rings plenty of bells. What you may not know, however, is that Callaway sells more than just clubs. It also offers the Callaway uPro golfing GPS ($399.99 list), which can help you get the lay of the land ...

Pocketable. Rechargeable battery. Video flyover preview of holes in Pro mode. Extensive library of national and international golf courses

Smallish screen. No included case or clip

The hi-res video flyover hole preview, available in the Pro mode, is the "killer" feature that gives Callaway's uPro golf GPS an edge over the competing Garmin Approach G5.

Garmin has a well-regarded name in automotive, aviation, marine, and sports devices, but its first golf-centric GPS device, the Approach G5 ($499.99 list), may have its work cut out for it. It's in direct competition with well-established golf ...

Easy to use. Ruggedized, waterproof case. Touch screen. Preloaded with about 8,800 courses. Screen viewable in bright sunlight. Electronic score card

Expensive. No battery meter. No rechargeable batteries

The Approach G5 is a rugged, reliable, and easy-to-use golf GPS from a trusted manufacturer. And it should get even better as Garmin adds course updates for download.

Live traffic updates used to be exclusive to premium GPS devices; today, it's one of many features starting to migrate to lower-priced models. Last year, Garmin introduced devices like the Editors' Choicewinning nüvi 265T with a built-in traffic ...

Good value. Upgradeable maps and POI database. Easy to use. Free lifetime traffic

Small initial POI database. No turn-by-turn list view. Can't save current location. Maps for U.S. only. Traffic receiver not built-in

The Nextar 43LT is a worthy competitor to the Editors' Choice Garmin nuvi 265T, but its lack of a Bluetooth interface and a couple other features hold it back.

If you want a big-screen GPS device but you're on a small-screen budget, you may be in luck: Mio Technology's Mio Moov S501 has a 4.7-inch screen and a price ($199.99 list) that's more in line with 3.5-inch models (like our Editors' Choice TomTom One ...

Twelve million-entry POI database. 4.7-inch screen. Maps for U.S., Puerto Rico, and Canada. Multisegment routing. Very affordable

Poor POI handling. Awkward user interface

The $200 Mio Moov S501 offers a lot of features, including a roomy 4.7-inch screen, for less than $200. But comparable devices deliver even more, and a better navigation experience, for only a slight price bump.
