Reviews

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.
Style Boutique

One part fashion mix and match, one part introduction to consumerism. Style Boutique's a weird little game, especially coming from Nintendo, but tween girls will love it regardless.
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.
Sony Ericsson HCB-105

If you never plan to share it and will never use it in a loud vehicle, the HCB-105 is a good sounding, simple to use choice. Everyone else should look elsewhere.
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.

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