David Pogue’s Top 5 GPS Units Of 2007
David Pogue of CNBC.com has come up with his list of the top 5 GPS units of 2007. His picks are based on three main things. First off, to be picked, the unit must be small and battery operated; no bigger than an index card allowing it to be portable enough to be taken out of your car and used, for example, to go hiking. Secondly, the unit must display live traffic and accident data and be able to effectively reroute you if the need arises. Finally, each must pronounce actual street names rather than just saying something like, “Turn right in 200 feet”.
Each of Pogue’s picks also play music, display photos, complete wireless connection to Bluetooth-enabled cellphones for hands-free calls, and offer a built-in database of every road in the United States and Canada.
Not surprisingly, the strict criteria for Pogue’s picks resulted in a list of higher-end and more expensive GPS units. A little bit more expensive, but definitely worth the money. Here they are ( for Pogue’s review of each model
- Cobra Nav One 4500-$520
- Harmon Kardon Guide + Play GPS 810-$600
- Magellan Maestro 4250-$450
- Garmin Nuvi 680-$620
- Tom Tom Go 920T-$500
