What we think: The Guide + Play is a great sat-nav location finder but a disappointing entertainment device

We like:
Search-as-you-type destination finder; long battery life; clear navigation instructions
We don't like:
Shoddy audio and video playback; basic media controls; occasionally sluggish
CNET.co.uk judgement:
The Guide + Play is a sat-nav device first and media player second. It's easy to use and has great route-planning abilities, apart from the odd sluggish moment. It's let down by basic media playback and poor performance, however, making it a disappointing entertainment device
