The Triton 400 provides the perfect companion for travelling and hiking. It doesn’t offer the luxuries of Magellan’s more expensive models, but it provides the necessities for successful travel at a fairly reasonable cost.

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 Omnia is Samsung’s attempt at pushing Windows Mobile as far into the background as possible, but it’s certainly not perfect. With more tweaking to the TouchWIZ interface and a bit more speed, this could potentially knock the iPhone off its perch. As it stands though, it's an admirable handset without being outstanding.

The top-of-the-line Moov 370 features a clean look and feel thanks to its redesigned map and menu interface. The absence of split-screen technology is a disappointment, as is its speed, but traffic updates, safety alerts and Bluetooth help sweeten the deal.

Laser’s Navig8r M35 is one of the best value for money GPS units we've come across. Don’t let its low price fool you: it is packed with features, including detailed mapping data and Australian-accented text-to-speech.

Navigon’s 2150max is certainly reasonable value at this price. Lane assistance, text-to-speech and Bluetooth hands-free combined with comprehensive safety warnings and a reasonably intuitive interface make it a credible choice.

The Oregon 400c is a reasonably priced option if you need detailed coastal maps. The inclusion of a microSD slot provides adequate room for expansion.

The ATP Photo Finder mini is great for people who want to geo-tag their photos, but there are some drawbacks to its simplicity.
