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.

  • Vodafone Compass

    Compass makes an excellent navigation tool for casual users looking for directions a few times a month or year. More frequent users should look to something more robust.

    Mio's C320 GPS provides a good balance between affordability and features.

  • Nokia LD-4W

  • Mio DigiWalker P560

    The P560 has a darker metal finish than its cheaper P360 sibling. While also adding Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to its stable of features, along with the standard GPS, 3.5-inch touchscreen and Windows Mobile 6.

  • Mio DigiWalker P360

    What do you get when you put a 3.5-inch screen, GPS receiver, MioMaps software and Windows Mobile 6 Classic into a bowl, stir and allow to set? The PDA-cum-GPS Mio DigiWalker P360.

  • Nokia 6110 Navigator

    A good 3G slide phone with an excellent screen and sound quality. It feels a little cheap in places, though, and its GPS navigation is highly compromised.

  • Best touchscreen mobile phones
