Is a dedicated GPS gadget more indispensable than a mobile phone? Well, that depends. Lost o a vacation island and running low on fuel, you'll pick a dedicated GPS receiver such as the Garmin Rhino 530 every time over a phone-home-only device.    More

It wasn’t so long ago that a decent sat-nav device wouldn't have given you much change from £400. However, bargain-providers Medion has launched the first sub-£100 GPS.    More

Did you find that you got lost over the Christmas break? GPS units are great, but if you're one of these people that don't really drive that much then trying to justify the outlay for an expensive GPS system is tough. Mio thinks it has the answer with its entry-level model, the Mio C250. Priced at just £170, the small easy-to-pocket unit (it weighs only 110g) features a 3.5-inch touchscreen with which to control everything.    More

On test: Garmin Nüvi 660
There are a lot of things to like about Garmin navigation devices; clear on-screen graphics, well spoken voice prompts, comprehensive maps and easily updated points of interest (such as speed camera locations) via your PC. But, put a device alongside a TomTom GO and Garmin still has a lot of catching up to do. Could this new widescreen version bring things level?    More

"Wayfinder Navigator 6"

What Mobile
Issue: 12/2006
On test: Wayfinder Systems Navigator 6
Wayfinder was one of the first smartphone SatNav packages, but with smartphones now ten a penny and memory cards as cheap as chips, the server-based navigation systems are fighting a tough battle against all inclusive solutions such as Navicore, CoPilot or Route 66. Fortunately, Wayfinder has the biggest market potential since it was made available to ordinary Java phones, such as the Motorola V3x reviewed here.    More

There aren’t many sat-nav devices that come in under £200, and those that do tend to be a little less impressive than their more expensive counterparts, so we were interested to see what Acer could muster for the price.    More
