Garmin Nuvi 1390

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.

Reviews

  • Pioneer BDP-120

    The Pioneer BDP-120 Blu-ray player boasts fine video and audio capabilities, but its frustrating operational quirks make this player an also-ran.

  • Mio A470

    As its name suggests, the A470 has a 4.7-inch touchscreen. It also gains Bluetooth hands-free, lane guidance, 3D landmarks and text-to-speech.

  • Mio A350

    At AU$199, the Mio A350 is the cheapest brand name GPS around. While it has a 3.5-inch touchscreen, and school and safety camera warnings, you can forget about text-to-speech, Bluetooth, lane guidance and the like.

  • Pioneer AVIC-F10BT

    Pioneer's top-of-the-range in-dash navigation unit, the F10BT features a 7-inch touchscreen, movie playback including DivX, Bluetooth hands-free, USB connectivity and iPod support, as well as sat nav with text-to-speech, 3D view and traffic messaging.

  • Pioneer AVIC-F310BT

    At just under AU$1,200, the AVIC-310BT is an on-paper bargain. It features a 4.3-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth hands-free, GPS navigation with text-to-speech and 3D view, a CD player, USB connectivity and iPod support.

  • Pioneer VSX-1019AH

    The Pioneer VSX-1019AH delivers an excellent feature set and outstanding sound quality for its price, making it our top mid-range A/V receiver pick so far.

  • Netgear ReadyNAS Pro

    With the ReadyNAS Pro, Netgear has proven it's still king of the hill. However, some interface quirks, inelegant recovery from catastrophic volume failure, and poor volume, user and share management may put some users off.

  • Pioneer HTZLX61

    Pioneer's cute HTZLX61 home theatre system lacks Blu-ray playback, but if you prefer to play DVDs and CDs through your system, then it's well worth considering.
