Best GPS Devices

The bottom line: The MotoNav TN765t has a robust feature set that is on par with that of more-established brands and a beautiful interface that is, in many ways, superior.

Screen brightness is excellent. The Navteq map detail is good without being overdone, with numerous street names shown. *

Bluetooth sound quality was good. It is very close to being an excellent navigator. *

Screen brightness is excellent. *

This new TomTom GPS system gives you freedom to apply map correct to your own maps and share with other user as well receive corrected maps from other users. *

Screen size is one of the advantages of a dedicated GPS device over smartphone navigation apps. TomTom plays the screen size card to the max with its new, two-model XXL line. I road test, rate and review the TomTom XXL 530S, which features a 5-inch (diagonal) touchscreen.

An already good TomTom product has just got slightly better, but also rather more expensive

Of course the best feature is being able to access the wider community and update maps. *

Equipped with great, up to date navigational tools, it’s really a steal at prices ranging from only £235-279. *

It's possible to pair the nuvi 465T with multiple phones, but only one phone can be connected to at a time. Garmin nuvi devices are intuitive and easy to use, and the 465T is no exception. Garmin's well designed location screen also provides one-touch access to find nearby hospitals, police stations, and gas stations. Garmin's map is easy to read, uncluttered, functional, and automatically intelligently adapts to various driving conditions. *

The signal reception is excellent, sharp, and clear. The widescreen is extremely clear, and you can see all the directions upon it quite easily. *

Garmin Oregon 450 handheld GPS is waterproof and rugged, so that it is robust enough to withstand the hard climatic conditions. Garmin’s determination to enhance the ways of navigation is evident in all Garmin products. *

The Oregon 450 is capable of wireless data transfer with other compatible Garmin units. Excellent track management and routing tools. There are better quality 1:24,000 scale topo maps available for free for most states. Accepts Garmin custom raster maps. *

The Oregon 450 is durable and rugged, so it's made for the great outdoors. The Garmin Oregon 450 makes it easy for you to explore your world and share your discoveries. The Oregon 450 is able to keep track of your exact location without interference from changes in altitude or incoming bad weather. *

Text-to-speech enhances the device's safety.. Our XXL's EasyPort was prone to popping off while adjusting. Its huge 5-inch touch screen is easy to read and to input addresses. *

A now-standard 4.3in touchscreen is easy to see, even in direct sunlight, and the interface is intuitive - more so, given that you can limit what menu options are shown onscreen. *

TomTom's XXL 540 GPS unit takes the XL 340 and adds an extra-large display, but the navigation experience is similar. Unless you're hell bent on getting a GPS with a big screen, we think most users will be better off saving some money and opting for the XL 340 instead.

The circular lock means it's quick and easy to attach, and the design allows titling of the XXL 540 in multiple directions. General navigation experience is pleasing. What's Hot Large display. *

The large wide screen is extremely clear and easy to see. Planning

Planning a route is extremely easy - you can just hit the screen, and select 'Navigate To'. It is possible with a quick link on the screen, to bookmark a site which needs correction, and make the correction when you get home. *
