Once costing in excess of $1000, GPS navigation units, or sat navs, can now be purchased for very reasonable prices. Christmas is one of the best times to buy a GPS unit and throw away your street directory for good; the cheapest GPS devices can be bought for under $200, while even the top of the line models can now be bought for well under $500.
We've rounded up the best GPS navigation devices on sale this Christmas, from leading brands including TomTom, Garmin and Navman.
1 / 9
The TomTom Start 10 has spoken street names, an EasyPort mount system, IQ Routes technology and now includes advanced lane guidance. Its screen is a little small and entering text requires a firm press, but this GPS is easy to use and functional.
