tomtom go 730 review: Lane guidance is great and the over-hyped IQ Routes was pretty good, but the best news is that, one year on, the Go 720's faults (price, buggy features) are no more.
Rubber body, Good price, Bluetooth, FM transmitter now actually work!, Map correction
Windshield mount, IQ Routes a wee bit over-hyped, Did we mention the windshield mount?

navman s300t review: Top dog of the S-Series Platinum range, the Navman S300t features built-in traffic info, spoken street names, 3D landmarks, and an iPhone-inspired interface.
Hey there good looking!, Beautiful Apple-inspired interface, Traffic receiver well concealed, Pronounces street names well
Often unsure if you want to scroll or click, Bluetooth not set to auto detect, Puny FM transmitter

navman s35 review: It looks like last year's S30, except it's been given the latest Whereis maps and spoken street names. Unlike the S-Series Platinum models, the S35 soldiers on with the old interface, which is now shared with the Mio Moov range.

garmin nuvi 260 review: As per the 260W — an easy to use GPS, with great verbal speed and red light camera warnings which, unfortunately, aren't installed by default — but narrower and AU$100 cheaper.
Simple interface with big icons, Compact windshield mount, Great verbal speed and red light camera warnings...
...but you'll have to wrestle demonic overlord of the internet first, Slow start-up time

navigon 2150max review: This is a great GPS if you have a piano black fetish. For the rest of us, it's just OK. Its good points (Aussie-capable text-to-speech, junction view, extended lane info) are balanced out by an inconsistent interface and unfriendly...
Handles Aussie street names pretty grouse, Junction view and lane info, Lots of piano black, Simple interface design...
...that's unfortunately rather inconsistent, Lots of piano black, QWERTY keyboard, wherefore art thou?, Chunky, clunky windshield mount
This is a great GPS if you have a piano black fetish. For the rest of us, it's just OK. Its good points (Aussie-capable text-to-speech, junction view, extended lane info) are balanced out by an inconsistent interface and unfriendly windshield mount.
mio moov 370 review: Traffic messaging and Bluetooth hands-free at a reasonable price, but the windshield mount and hard-to-read traffic alerts mean that it fails to scale the heights of its predecessor.
Good value, Australian street names dealt with well, Easy to use interface lifted straight from Navman
Torturous windshield mount, Split-screen mode wherefore art thou?, Traffic alerts hard to read
Traffic messaging and Bluetooth hands-free at a reasonable price, but the windshield mount and hard-to-read traffic alerts mean that it fails to scale the heights of its predecessor.
garmin nuvi 760 review: If you're in the market for a GPS navigator with an FM transmitter and MP3 playback, not to mention excellent safety camera warnings, the Nuvi 760 is the one to go for.
Good FM transmitter with MP3 playback, Simple interface with big icons, Compact windshield mount, Great verbal speed and red light camera warnings...
...but you'll have to rummage through the internet trough first, Streets drop in and out at normal map detail
If you're in the market for a GPS navigator with an FM transmitter and MP3 playback, not to mention excellent safety camera warnings, the Nuvi 760 is the pick of the moment.

tomtom one (4th generation) review: Both the One and XL are great GPS units: compact, correctable, good looking and easy to use. At AU$349 we'd pick the narrow screen One every time though.
The diet has made it slim and sexy, Easy-to-use interface, Make and share map corrections, Folds up compactly, Better value than the widescreen XL
No Bluetooth hands-free, Routing engine addicted to main roads
Both the One and XL are great GPS units: compact, correctable, good looking and easy to use. At RRP we'd pick the narrow screen One every time though.
hp ipaq 312 travel companion review: It may not be entirely rational buying a GPS for its beautiful screen and multimedia features, but the 312 almost makes the case despite its numerous bugs and flaws.
A screen to die for, Pleasing design, Multimedia features actually usable
Bluetooth support patchy, Text-to-speech poorly implemented, Speed and red-light camera locations not included, Pricey
It may not be entirely rational buying a GPS for its beautiful screen and multimedia features, but the 312 almost makes the case despite its numerous bugs and flaws.
