Typical price: £100
What is it: Budget sat-nav device with Bluetooth and 89mm touchscreen
What we think: While it offers Bluetooth and basic routing from A to B, there are still issues that stop it from becoming a budget classic

| Review summary | The Binatone Carrera C350BT does provide ample navigation to get you from A to B, but it feels more like a budget device compared to some of its competitors, and the interface is not the most intuitive. But perseverance does have its rewards and you will find a set of useful options thrown in, including Bluetooth hands-free calls and the ability to add your own custom POIs and safety camera alerts directly from the interface Read full review |
Whether you want a simple, out-of-the-box sat nav or a smart, flexible companion for complex journeys, the TomTom One XL Europe or TomTom One XL Regional will fit the bill. It's not cheap and lacks the flash media functionality of some rivals, but when it comes to pure navigation, TomTom is still the GPS benchmark Read full review |
The TomTom GO 920T re-establishes the company as the top dog for GPS navigation. Its widescreen format has lost weight from its 910 predecessor and it now focuses on the navigational aides rather than multimedia gimmicks. As a result you have voice recognition that works, text-to-speech throughout the interface and a TMC/FM receiver for routing around traffic problems Read full review |
With the wrapping still clinging to the underside of the GO 920T, some may feel slightly peeved by the 930 Traffic's arrival. But with the sat-nav world changing rapidly each day, the features are a more natural progression, rather than a stab in the back. Nothing should get in the way of what is an excellent product Read full review |
