Reviews

  • 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.

  • Nokia LD-4W

    The right accessories make easy work of lugging about this well-designed GPS receiver.

  • Garmin StreetPilot c510

    Garmin's reasonably priced c510 GPS navigator uses text-to-speech technology and the latest SiRF starIII GPS receivers.

  • Hitachi MMP-501

    A portable GPS with a large 5-inch screen, music and video playback and Bluetooth connectivity.

  • Road Angel Navigator 7000

    The Navigator 7000 is a fine GPS system with oodles of add-on safety features, but its complexity is also its Achilles heel. Read our Australian review.

  • Navman F20

    Navman's F20 portable GPS is aimed at users after a simple and reliable navigation system, but it still includes features found on much more expensive models as well as few handy traits of its own.
