Blackberry Curve 8310: That James Bond Feeling April 2008 By: Stephen Colwell

The Blackberry and the Telenav software complement each other to form a sleek combination of easy-to-use features. The large screen of the Curve provides an automobile-PND-like experience, and the Telenav maps provide door-to-door directions in an easy-to-read format.

The Bushnell ONIX 400: A Backcountry Beauty April 2008

This is a product that really impressed me. The brainchild of Phil Gyori and Jason Luzar from Bushnell, the ONIX 400 is a second-generation Bushnell attempt at getting GPS right, and it succeeded.

Pharos 140: The Swiss Army Knife of GPS Receivers December 2007

The Pharos 140 is the Swiss Army Knife of GPS systems because it has a variety of tools that make it more than just a GPS receiver. When used as a GPS receiver, the large 4 inch screen and highly accurate 20-channel SiRFstarIII GPS engine will get you through the concrete jungle as well as any experienced guide. When navigation is not your goal, the Pharos is a veritable entertainment and communication center.

Navigon 7100: Getting Around Traffic in Style December 2007

Out of the box the Navigon 7100 vehicle GPS receiver impresses you with its sleek euro-style design and large 4.3 inch widescreen color display. The styling alone should move a large number of these beauties off shelves and onto dashboards. Even the car mount looks sleek. But the great looks are not the best part of the receiver. The best part is the free, life-time traffic alerts available in about 65 metro regions across the U.S.

Garmin Forerunner 305: Like having "Ahnold" along for a run October 2007 By: Eric Gakstatter

The Garmin Forerunner 305 is the next best thing to having "Ahnold" as your fitness coach. You can load performance data into it and compete against yourself as you run or cycle. Set-up is ultra-fast: Open up, charge it, turn it on, use it. Simple as that.

The Magellan eXplorist 600 fairly screams "take me hiking!" It?s lightweight, compact, has plenty of memory for topographical maps, and features an electronic compass, altimeter and battery life of 17 hours. And it all fits comfortably in the palm of your hand.

TomTom´s GO910: Packed with plenty of cool features August 2007 By: Eric Gakstatter

In my opinion, Europeans have a great sense of humor. Remember Monty Python? With the Euro-rooted TomTom GO910, I wasn´t disappointed. I unpacked it, cranked it up and started laughing when Mr. T started barking directions at me. Yes, that´s Mr. T from the old "A Team" days. I found it fascinating how many different voices (50+) and languages (36) were offered on the GO910.

Garmin GPSmap 60CSx: Is this the ultimate handheld? August 2007 By: Lawrence Letham

If you primarily use a handheld GPS receiver in the outdoors but occasionally use it in the car, this is the receiver to own. The GPSmap 60CSx has all the features of a high-end outdoor handheld, plus those found in a car navigation system to boot. The only hitch for auto use is that the screen size makes it hard to see both the screen and the road, so have the passenger navigate.

DeLorme PN-20: Five little ounces of mapping excellence July 2007 By: Eric Gakstatter

In the age of hot personal navigation devices (PNDs), the PN-20 is a different breed. It wasn´t designed to be a PND. In fact, I wouldn´t call it a PND, but rather a traditional, hand-held mapping unit like a Garmin Etrex, 60Cx or Magellan eXplorist. Being a mapping guy myself, it really caters to the needs of people like me.
