  • HP iPAQ 312 Travel Companion

    13 Jun 2008 6:04 PM

    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.

    Mio DigiWalker A702

    It works well as a GPS navigator but, as a phone, the slow responses and awful text messaging really let the A702 down.

    This GPS is blessed with a good price and attractive design but is marred by its buggy Bluetooth and horrible windshield mount.

    Is this car stereo with detachable GPS unit the answer to the question no-one asked? No matter, it's one of the cheapest ways to get an in-dash GPS.

    Mio's C320 GPS provides a good balance between affordability and features.

  • Navman S90i

    29 Nov 2007 3:35 PM

    We'd love to heartily endorse the S90i but, like the spurned high school prom queen in every slasher flick ever made, its surface beauty is marred by intermittent spurts of insanity, and so we can't.

  • TomTom Go 720

    Don't let its beautiful body tempt you, the TomTom Go 720 is both too pricey and too buggy. The cliche "beauty is only skin deep" is particularly apt here.

    TomTom One 3rd Edition

    14 Nov 2007 11:03 AM

    TomTom have fiddled at the edges in the upgrade from Slim Edition to 3rd Edition, but the competitive price makes the One a worthy player in the entry-level GPS market.

    This good looking, entry-level GPS is let down by design niggles -- chief amongst which is the car charger, windscreen mount combo.

    RIM has incrementally upgraded the BlackBerry Curve with the addition of a GPS receiver, although we're still waiting for 3G connectivity.
