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.

Reviews

  • 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.

Features

  • Best GPS-enabled mobile phones

    While it could be argued they're not as robust as in-car sat-navs, these GPS-enabled mobile phones can help you find your bearings when you're on the move.

  • iPhone GPS navigation apps

    We rank the GPS navigation apps available for the iPhone from best to worst.

  • Best touchscreen mobile phones

    In the good old days we'd let our fingers do the walking when using the Yellow Pages. These days our fingers do a lot more with our mobile phones.

  • GPS navigators for Father's Day

    Is dad continually late because he's lost? Are mum and dad bickering constantly about whether she meant that left or the other left? If so, we think you know what you should get dad for Father's Day. And, no, we're not thinking about a new wife...
