TomTom iPhone car kit
Featuring a built-in GPS receiver, microphone, speaker and charger, TomTom's iPhone car kit has certainly been a long time coming, but it's finally here.
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.

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.
-
TomTom One 140
Same, same but slightly better than before. Quicker responses and lane guidance justify slight premium over fourth-gen One.
-
TomTom XL 340
Bedecked in black and furnished with IQ Routes, a new faster, snazzier interface and lane guidance, the XL 340 is identical to the One 140 except, you guessed it, it has a wider 4.3-inch screen.
-
TomTom XL Traffic (2nd generation)
Compact, correctable, good looking and easy to use, the TomTom XL is a great portable GPS. For AU$100 more there's this Traffic version with, uhh, traffic messaging built-in.
-
TomTom Go 730
Lane guidance is great and the over-hyped IQ Routes was pretty good, but the best news is that, one year on, the Go 720's faults (price, buggy features) are no more.
-
TomTom Go 930 Traffic
TomTom's top shelf Go 930 features an FM transmitter, traffic messaging, user correctable maps, text-to-speech, Bluetooth and a 4.3-inch screen, but its killer feature is that it comes pre-loaded with maps from 45 countries.
-
TomTom Go 730 Traffic
Bluetooth hands-free, FM transmitter, lane guidance, traffic and supposedly more intelligent routing mark the Go 730 Traffic out over its less expensive siblings. And unlike last year's Go 720, it's reasonably price from launch.
