1 TomTom One (4th generation)

TomTom One (4th generation)   Editors’ Choice

Both the One and XL are great GPS units: compact, correctable, good looking and easy to use. At AU$349 we'd pick the narrow screen One every time though.

2 TomTom XL (2nd generation)

TomTom XL (2nd generation)

Compact, correctable, good looking and easy to use, the XL is a great portable GPS. But does its wider screen justify the AU$100 difference between it and the otherwise identical One?

3 Garmin Nuvi 310

Garmin Nuvi 310

This all-in-one GPS navigator, translator, entertainer and tour guide could have been very good, but lead us down a few too many long and winding roads.

4 Navman S50

Navman S50

This GPS is blessed with a good price and attractive design but is marred by its buggy Bluetooth and horrible windshield mount.

5 Mio DigiWalker C520

Mio DigiWalker C520   Editors’ Choice

Bluetooth, text-to-speech, massive screen and good looks make the C520 a good GPS. Its great price transforms it into a great GPS.

6 TomTom Go 720

TomTom Go 720

Don't let its beautiful body tempt you, the TomTom Go 720 is both too pricey and too buggy. The cliche "beauty is only skin deep" is particularly apt here.

7 Navman S30

Navman S30

This good looking, entry-level GPS is let down by design niggles -- chief amongst which is the car charger, windscreen mount combo.

8 TomTom One XL

TomTom One XL

The TomTom One XL's extra screen width is useful on the road, but it adds little else for the extra AU$100 you pay over the standard One.

9 HP iPAQ 312 Travel Companion

HP iPAQ 312 Travel Companion

It may not be entirely rational buying a GPS for its beautiful screen and multimedia features, but the 312 almost makes the case despite its numerous bugs and flaws.

10 Volkswagen Golf GT Sport TDI (Golf V, 2007)

Volkswagen Golf GT Sport TDI (Golf V, 2007)

A fine way to traverse Australia's vast distances, but we miss the Twincharger's up and at them attitude.

    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

    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.

  • Volkswagen Golf GT Sport TDI (Golf V, 2007)

    A fine way to traverse Australia's vast distances, but we miss the Twincharger's up and at them attitude.

  • PLX Kiwi

    PLX Kiwi

    While the PLX Kiwi is a good training tool to help motorists to drive more efficiently, it will not miraculously boost your fuel economy.

  • Volkswagen Golf GT Sport TSI (Golf V, 2007)

    Volkswagen Golf GT Sport TSI (Golf V, 2007)

    The GT Sport TSI shape-shifts easily between a relaxed cruiser and inconspicuous hot-hatch, and the 1.4-litre Twincharger engine is an engineering marvel. But the GTI is just five grand more. Decisions, decisions.
