Can a European* navigation system help you find your way in the United States? That question got a straight YES when TomTom entered the market and while not perfect, it sure gained the respect of mostly PDA users in both camps PalmOS and PocketPC. In its latest incarnation, Navigator still supports... Read full review »

In my work, I need to drive quite a bit around the NY/NJ/CT tristate area. So far I had been using Google and MapQuest for getting driving directions and location specific information. I had seen many GPS navigation solutions, however did not buy them... Read full review »

Pros Intuitive menus, bright easy to read screen, very detailed maps, small and easy to mount.

Recommended it? Yes

Cons Initial lock-on needs to be done standing still, more turn warning time.
Recommended it? Yes
