The Colorado 300 provides a slightly cheaper, non-touch-screen alternative to the Oregon 300. With both models proving good combination automotive/handheld GPS devices, the decision largely comes down to your preferred control scheme.

The Oregon 200 is a stripped-down version of the Oregon 300. It has many of the same benefits and flaws of the more expensive model. If you want to save money and don’t need wireless sharing or relief shading, go for the Oregon 200.

The ONE XL adds a larger display and a new design to an already outstanding GPS unit. At this price, it's the best value for money on the market and combines excellent navigation and an outstanding user experience.

The StreetPilot c510 is a solid budget offering, and has a few features that are usually reserved for more expensive models.

The gogo CM310 is a very solid navigation device, even though its multimedia features aren't outstanding. But a fast, distinctive interface, an included 1GB SD card and USB card reader and the presence of turning "blinkers" differentiate the CM310 from the crowd.

The C310 is an entry level model that is reasonably well priced for what it offers. First time users may take a while to grasp the bells and whistles of navigation, but otherwise, this is a solid unit.

The F40 is a mid-range unit, with an excellent user interface and clear maps. The included hands-free module only sweetens the deal.

The 330 Auto Navigation is Nokia's first stand-alone GPS. The result is a solid, but not outstanding unit that is let down by an impractical address search method.

The LN800 offers a larger screen and a light sensor, but we don't think its worth the extra asking price over the LN800. Still, it's a solid unit with a fair list of included features.

Garmin has provided a competitive handheld GPS device with the Oregon 300. It provides a full touch-screen experience in combination with a rugged casing and vital navigation tools. We would have preferred more detailed maps, but Garmin has provided room for expandability — making this an excellent choice.

Magellan’s Maestro 4250 provides an alternative to the more expensive, high-end TomTom and Garmin devices. Although it doesn’t provide the same level of polish as some of the better known brands, its features are functional and it provides everyday users with a viable GPS option.
