TomTom One XL review
Reviews It's available now for £280, or £250 with UK maps only. We prefer a slightly more zoomed-out view than the XL provides by default, but manipulating the 3D maps is extremely easy. TomTom is to sat-navs what Apple is to MP3 players, with the Dutch...

Sony Nav-U NV-U92 review
Reviews The 122mm (4.8-inch) screen is visible from across the largest dashboard, and even (admittedly sharp-sighted) back-seat passengers might be able to follow the clear 2D or 3D maps. The provision of European maps covering 21 countries in the U92...

Mio DigiWalker C220 review
Reviews Route maps are smoothly drawn and well designed, with extraneous information ruthlessly stripped away and helpful extras added, such as animated arrows showing which exit to take at roundabouts. UK maps are pre-loaded, with European mapping on SD...
