Garmin Nuvi 5000

It might be perfect for truck drivers, but the 5.2-inch Garmin 5000 is a bit too big for us car-bound road denizens. And the lack of Bluetooth hands-free, lane guidance and junction view condemns it to also-ran status.

Garmin Nuvi 1390T

There's nothing particularly flash about it, but the 1390T is a solid and dependable choice, with traffic, lane guidance, Aussie and NZ maps, and Bluetooth hands-free amongst its features.

Reviews

Uniden Trax 5000

The Trax 5000 is not without its faults but its size and legibility make a compelling case.
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.
Navman MY500XT

Improved, but still deeply flawed. We'd suggest checking out the lesser fruit from the Navman tree first.
Sygic Mobile Maps for iPhone

With its latest update, Mobile Maps has become our favourite iPhone nav app, but we still have reservations about using the iPhone as a GPS navigator.
Mio A430

It may be a frill-free zone, but the Mio A430 offers plenty of screen girth for the money. Pity then that the camera and school zone warnings are nigh on useless.
Navigon MobileNavigator for iPhone

With the addition of text-to-speech and the squishing of a few previous bugs, Navigon's MobileNavigator makes sense for the occasional nav use. We still have some reservations about the whole iPhone nav experience, though.
Navman MY30

Good looks, good price, but let down by overzealous school warnings and limited lane guidance.
Navigon 4350 max

It looks good, priced right and has an excellent Bluetooth hands-free set-up, but a host of minor niggles prevents the 4350 max from being a star.
