Garmin Nuvi 1390
06 Nov 2009 3:40 PM
It mightn't offer the bigger bang for buck, but the 1390 is a solid and dependable choice. We particularly like its comprehensive lane guidance and easy-to-use interface.

Navman MY500XT

Improved, but still deeply flawed. We'd suggest checking out the lesser fruit from the Navman tree first.

Sygic Mobile Maps for iPhone
27 Oct 2009 2:35 PM
With its latest update, Mobile Maps has become our favourite iPhone nav app, but we still have reservations about using the iPhone as a GPS navigator.

TomTom for iPhone

With the highest price, fewest features and the same ol' iPhone nav problems, TomTom's app is hard to recommend.

Mio A430

It may be a frill-free zone, but the Mio A430 offers plenty of screen girth for the money. Pity then that the camera and school zone warnings are nigh on useless.

Navigon MobileNavigator for iPhone
01 Oct 2009 4:17 PM
With the addition of text-to-speech and the squishing of a few previous bugs, Navigon's MobileNavigator makes sense for the occasional nav use. We still have some reservations about the whole iPhone nav experience, though.
Specs: 3.5 inch, Yes

Navman MY30

Good looks, good price, but let down by overzealous school warnings and limited lane guidance.

Navigon 4350 max
24 Aug 2009 9:28 AM
It looks good, priced right and has an excellent Bluetooth hands-free set-up, but a host of minor niggles prevents the 4350 max from being a star.

Navman MY50T
14 Aug 2009 2:56 PM
Step up to the MY50T and you'll get a larger than normal 4.7-inch touchscreen, traffic messaging with a lifetime Suna subscription, and Google or TrueLocal searches via a Bluetooth internet connection.

Garmin Nuvi 1390T
14 Aug 2009 12:42 AM
The top-of-the-range thin Nuvi, the 1390T features traffic messaging with a lifetime subscription, in addition to the 1390's Bluetooth hands-free, lane guidance, junction view, text-to-speech, and Australian and New Zealand maps.
Specs: 4.3 inch, Yes , Yes
