Ever since the Garmin Nuvi 880 was announced at CES 2008, we've been excited to get out hands on this portable navigation system. Given the good track record of the other Nuvi series devices, we expected more of the same, solid feature list and good ...

Asus R700t

By Bonnie Cha

While best known for its computer components and motherboards, Asus is branching out to all sorts of consumer electronics, including GPS. The Asus R700t is one of its first portable navigation devices, and we must admit we're pleasantly surprised. The ...

For the company's first stab at the GPS market, the Asus R700t is an impressive debut, offering some great navigation features. However, we'd like to see the addition of text-to-speech functionality and smoother performance before completely ...

TomTom GO 930 GPS

TomTom ONE 130S

TomTom One 130S

By Bonnie Cha

The TomTom One 130 and TomTom One 130S mark a new beginning for the company's line of basic GPS. You still get TomTom's hallmark ease of use and community features, but the portable navigation systems now boast more compact designs as well as a new ...

The TomTom One 130S is a reasonably priced entry-level GPS with a solid set of features and ease of use. Unfortunately, the system's barely audible voice directions ruin the experience.

Sony NV-U83T

Sony NV-U83T

By Bonnie Cha

First introduced at CES 2008, the Sony NV-U83T is the company's flagship portable navigation system. With a focus on safety, the NV-U83T features a number of nice and unique features, including pressure, gyro, and acceleration sensors to provide for ...

The Sony NV-U83T is a seemingly attractive in-car GPS with a large display and useful navigation features, but it shows its ugly side with poor directions and subpar performance.

Eclipse AVN6620

Eclipse AVN-6620

By Kevin Massy

Eclipse delivers an evolutionary, rather than revolutionary, upgrade to its all-in-one in-car navigation and multimedia lineup with the AVN6620. The double-DIN system features a similar design to that of the AVN5510, with a combination of easy-to-use ...

The Eclipse AVN6620 is loaded with features, including a useful built-in GPS navigation system, digital audio and video playback capabilities, and some advanced acoustic tweaking options.

Its turn-by-turn guidance is not as accurate as some factory-fitted navigation systems. The need for a clunky iPod module can make installation trickier.

The Eclipse AVN6620 is a device for those looking to tech out their car with a single device. Its elegant design, wealth of features and expandability, and the fact that it's easy to use make it a strong contender in the all-in-one in-car device market.
