Garmin StreetPilot C550

Will put you in the geocaching picture?

Easy to use, built-in camera, improved screen, more waypoints, more routes

Expensive, screen not totally visible in bright sun

In our 400t review we whinged that the screen was too dull. Garmin have addressed this, so it only seems fair for us to up the score from an 8 to a 9 for this model

Garmin Oregon 400c / 400i / 400t

Will this help you find that cache?

Plenty of features, geocaching app that lets you send details straight from site

Screen is too dim in bright conditions

If you aren't too worried about the low light screen this is worth checking out, but it's what stops it from getting a 9/10

Nerf N-Strike Bundle

"No blasters, no blasters!" So should you reach for one?

The blaster is ace

Game a bit lacking

As a concept we love it, however as a computer game NERF N-Strike is a bit of a one trick pony that you are likely to get bored with

Jobo PhotoGPS

Jobo PhotoGPS

By Stuart Miles

Will this help you find your pictures?

Geotags your images

Probably won't be able to use your flash at the same time, software is very basic, spring likely to wear after time and therefore fall out of the hot shoe

While the software works, and the application does what is says on the tin, there are too many annoyances and not enough polish to wholeheartedly recommend this

TomTom GO 740 Live

Satnav evolved?

Excellent navigation, simplicity, seamless traffic integration, system actually works, excellent build quality, TomTom Home

Ongoing costs, expensive

Although the TomTom GO 740 LIVE is expensive, there is no doubt you are paying for a premium product. The performance is exceptional, the best navigation and seamless integration of traffic around

Navman S100

Navman S100 GPS receiver

By Chris Hall

Does this redesign redefine satnav?

Touch user interface, simplicity of use, encourages you to do more than just navigate, intuitive

A little expensive

The S100 is convincing in its desire to give you more than just navigation. Get to grips with all the features and take advantage of the NavPix community and the S100 becomes a much greater travel companion

Navman S30

The accompanying NavDesk software suite enables some additional features, such as management of NavPix (geotagged images) including access to a Library of locations to download, although this is simply a link to launch the website and you can't help ...

MAGELLAN GPS Maestro 4215 Europa

Will this guide you around Europe?

The Magellan Maestro 4215 is very much an entry-level satnav unit and while it works reasonably well, it's better suited to the casual user rather than someone who needs to find different locations quickly and regularly.

TomTom GO 730

Will this get you from A to B?

All in all, this is TomTom doing what it does best. As a navigation solution, we think this is the best around, but this could be said of the offerings much further down the range, with a great range of options to ensure your journey goes as smoothly ...
