sat nav reviews

Sat nav reviews in a sentence: buy for the maps, stay for the traffic and do not skimp on screen glare. Dedicated units like Garmin and TomTom offer offline maps, live traffic and bigger 5-7 inch screens, which matters when the Hume turns into a car park. Phones fight back with free updates, voice control and your favourite apps, but chew data and overheat in Aussie summer. Look for features like speed camera alerts, Australian map coverage, lifetime updates and sturdy windscreen mounts. Expect around AUD 150–500 new and well under AUD 150 used depending on features. If you roam the outback, prioritise offline maps and long battery life; city drivers will want traffic smarts and clear lane guidance.
