CNET editors' buying advice

We have not reviewed this product but here is CNET's buying advice on GPS. This content was chosen based on the features included with this model of gps.

Hands-free Bluetooth Car GPS

You'd think driving from point A to point B would be a pretty simple task, but you can hit some roadblocks along the way. You get lost, people are calling to see where you are--all of which can be frustrating and distracting. Fortunately, there are driving aids that can help the situation. These GPS devices not only give you text- and voice-guided driving directions, but they also have integrated Bluetooth so you can pair them with your Bluetooth-enabled phone to make hands-free calls. Granted, it'd be safer if you just didn't talk on your phone in the car at all, but at least this way, you can keep your hands on the wheel.

Pros: Provides verbal navigation instructions.Utilizes WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System) technology to achieve an error margin of 3 meters or less.USB computer interface makes it possible to add new programs and maps as well as store previous trips and data.Store trip history and map databases on a standard SD memory card.Its removable memory allows for almost unlimited storage of routes and other data.Safe in all weather, this unit is waterproof.System includes TomTom HOME.

Cons: None noted, given available product data.

Suitability: For those who require the option of using their GPS in more than one environment.Rugged case design affords the durability needed in some settings.Has an internal antenna which is desirable for activities where an external antenna would get in the way.

Value: In general, this GPS receiver's features are as expected for this price.
