TomTom One 140
Same, same but slightly better than before. Quicker responses and lane guidance justify slight premium over fourth-gen One.
-
TomTom XL Traffic (2nd generation)
Compact, correctable, good looking and easy to use, the TomTom XL is a great portable GPS. For AU$100 more there's this Traffic version with, uhh, traffic messaging built-in.
-
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.
-
Garmin Nuvi 760
If you're in the market for a GPS navigator with an FM transmitter and MP3 playback, not to mention excellent safety camera warnings, the Nuvi 760 is the one to go for.
-
Garmin Nuvi 260W
A good, easy to use GPS, with great verbal speed and red light camera warnings which, unfortunately, aren't installed by default.
-
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.
