Pioneer AVIC-F10BT

There's a lot to like about the F10BT (large screen, sound quality), but the host of quibbles (funny text-to-speech, annoying warnings, missing voice recognition) are glaring on a top-of-the-range model.

Reviews

Navman MY500XT

Improved, but still deeply flawed. We'd suggest checking out the lesser fruit from the Navman tree first.
Navman MY50T

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 265WT

With its relatively elegant traffic antenna and simple-to-use interface, the Garmin Nuvi 265WT makes a good case for itself.
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.
