gps reviews

Edit: This is from the review of TomTom One:
The good: The TomTom One features a sleek design and is simple to use. It offers accurate text- and voice-guided directions and is affordably priced.
The bad: The TomTom One's points-of-interest database is a bit outdated and doesn't support text-to-speech functionality.

So what I'm trying to understand is - it says it uses a voice but doesn't support text-to-voice... what's the difference?

Hey Sabrina! Text to Speech means that the GPS will actually talk to you, for example giving directions. (Turn left now.....)

It looks rock solid to me and a geat price if that's the model you want. SiRF III, NAVTEQ maps...you have to spend $500 on a Garmin Nuvi 350 to get anything close to that. In GPS its all about the maps in my opinion. TomTom fails in the US as they don't use NAVTEQ maps. I may buy one of those myself.

I'm looking to buy a portable CAR GPS for a loved one at Christmas, and am unfamiliar with the various different types, options, etc.

Is there somewhere I can find a "Consumer Reports" style report on this type of product?

Consumer reports would be a good place to start
