Five years of CNET Australia: GPS

Five years ago when CNET Australia was born into the cyberworld we weren't even looking at GPS devices. Nowadays, portable sat nav units are affordable and you can find GPS receivers baked into devices from phones to cameras and camcorders.

Reviews

  • Mio Moov 370

    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.

  • Mio DigiWalker C320

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

  • Mio DigiWalker P560

    The P560 has a darker metal finish than its cheaper P360 sibling. While also adding Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to its stable of features, along with the standard GPS, 3.5-inch touchscreen and Windows Mobile 6.

  • Mio DigiWalker P360

    What do you get when you put a 3.5-inch screen, GPS receiver, MioMaps software and Windows Mobile 6 Classic into a bowl, stir and allow to set? The PDA-cum-GPS Mio DigiWalker P360.

  • Pioneer AVIC-S2

    The AVIC-S2 is competent but, aside from Bluetooth, there are similarly specified GPSes for less.

  • Mio DigiWalker C220

    A highly customisable entry-level GPS which focuses on its core task of navigation but requires a bit of acclimatisation to get the best out of.

  • Mio Digiwalker P350

    Mio's Digiwalker P350 isn't a stunning PDA. It isn't a stunning GPS, either. It's still a good unit, however --- read our review to find out why.

  • Mio C310 DigiWalker

    As an entry level machine, the Mio C310 works well and comes packaged with all the accessories you need, but be sure to practice on known routes until you get the hang of how to program where you want to go.
