Uniden Trax 5000
The Trax 5000 is not without its faults but its size and legibility make a compelling case.
Uniden BTSC1500
It tries to pack a few too many features on to the one button, but otherwise the BTSC1500 makes for a good in-car companion.

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.
-
Uniden Trax 350
Available only through Harvey Norman stores, the Trax 350 has a 3.5-inch screen, 3D terrain, 3D landmarks and safety camera locations. It misses out on the Bluetooth hands-free of the 353 model, which is available everywhere.
-
Uniden Trax 430
Uniden's Trax 430 has a 4.3-inch screen, Bluetooth hands-free, 3D terrain and landmarks, and safety camera locations.
-
Uniden Trax 353
The mid-range Trax 353 has a 3.5-inch screen, 3D landmarks and terrain, safety camera locations and Bluetooth hands-free. Oddly enough the 4.3-inch 430 model is identically priced.
-
Uniden Trax 325
Uniden's entry-level Trax GPS model has a 3.5-inch screen, text-to-speech and, well, not much else. It misses out on safety camera locations, 3D terrain and 3D landmarks that are available in the rest of the range.

Mio DigiWalker A702
It works well as a GPS navigator but, as a phone, the slow responses and awful text messaging really let the A702 down.
-
Mio DigiWalker C320
Mio's C320 GPS provides a good balance between affordability and features.
