The Maestro 4245 has a sleek design, and its 17mm depth helps it to slip in pockets or handbags with ease

Quick and powerful; Clear maps; Small; Good screen

Pricier than rivals; Bluetooth not compatible with all phones

Most notable is the lack of Bluetooth compatibility with some phones - so you should definitely try before buying

The home screen of Garmin's nuvi 770 is refreshingly simple. And intuitive too

Powerful; Easy to use; Great map instructions; Points of interest; Bright, clear display; Genuinely useful features

Voices sound artificial, stilted; Can lose satellite coverage in weak signal areas; No dead reckoning

As youd expect from the price tag, European and North American country maps from Navteq are included, as are a very long list of Points Of Interest, many of which are genuinely useful. Want to find a decent country pub where you can take your mum / wife /...

The main map view of the Navman S90i has plenty of detail but not overwhelmingly so. It's also very grey

Value for money; Widescreen display; Built-in camera; Easy-to-use interface

Bulky; Fiddly widescreen mount; Built-in camera; Disappointing POI; Lacks flair

Another benefit is geo-tagging. Every picture you take automatically has GPS reference information added to its metadata - enabling you and others to drive directly to that destination. Navman gives the example of tourist destinations like the Eiffel Towe...

The TomTom 920 T's home screen makes it easy to choose your destination and other essential features

Big, widescreen display; excellent directions; MapShare; text-to-speech

Penny-pinching on accessories; subscription charges; poor Points Of Interest; too many frivolous add-ons

It would be great if it worked as well as advertised but, like every other voice recognition system ever invented, the reality is it's a lot less certain to recognise your well-rounded vowels, forcing you to eventually abandon the idea. Like the 720 T, th...

We found the mapping clear and easy to follow, with both 2D and 3D viewpoints available

Clear and easy to read maps; Tracking service; Good range of features

Extra costs may put some off

The online tracking service also makes it a great tool for businesses

We were impressed by the excellent screen, clear mapping and neat styling of the iPAQ Travel

Good screen; Easy to follow; Nice styling; Powerful

Poor quality speaker

The excellent screen, clear mapping and neat styling help the iPAQ Travel to impress, but those wanting audible directions to accompany the visual ones should avoid this device until the sound quality is improved

Much as we love our iPods with the distinctive white earphones, something's missing - or rather, we wish something was missing. It's the earphone cord. It snags, it gets in the way and it's old-fashioned in this modern wireless age. But what if we could c...

No wires; Easy to use; Accessible controls

Not very loud; Heavy; Uncomfortable

Pleasingly, the controls on the headphones themselves are nicely accessible. On the right-side earpiece are buttons for raising and lowering the volume and skipping between or scrolling through tracks - they're smartly arranged and are simple to use. The...

The N20 slips comfortably into small bags and coat pockets

Compact design; Accurate, responsive satnav; Good price for what you get

No obvious weaknesses

Offering plenty for your money, the Navman N20 is one of the best mid-range GPS devices we've seen. Usability is second to none, and the amount of features belies its price

The 4.3-inch widescreen display is larger than that found on most rivals at this price point

Bright and easy-to-read display; Good price

Light on features

However, while the GoPal isn't the most comprehensive sat- nav device we've tested, there's a lot on offer for your money. It's accurate, easy to use, and the large screen makes it a compelling choice

Devices that are designed to bridge the gap between IT and AV equipment are big business.

Good media format support; Can double up as an extra network drive

Fiddly to use; Lacks the extended usability features that you'd expect

For hooking the On3 up to a TV, FIA has incorporated component audio and video outputs (for 1080i and 720p), composite video and audio outputs, plus S-Video, S/PDIF and co-axial audio connections. But the On3 will succeed or fail according to the number o...
