If the accuracy (or lack thereof) of the iPhone’s built-in GPS receiver isn’t cutting it for you, you have basically two options to improve it; TomTom or Magellan
AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN
September 2008 From E-Gear
In the last few years, portable navigation has quickly gone from an accessory to a necessity for everyone from business-travel road warriors traveling across the country to the soccer moms driving across town. And sales within the same period attest to that fact. According to GPS-navigation market researcher C.J. Driscoll and Associates, approximately 250,000 portable navigation devices (PNDs) were sold in 2003, and that figure multiplied more than 20 times by 2007, with 5.6 million units sold. A couple of interrelated factors—lower prices and increased competition—has fueled the proliferation of PNDs hanging from the windshields and dashes of millions of vehicles. Five years ago,

The first thing you’ll notice when firing up the Magellan 5310 – after the annoying “Keep your eyes on the road” screen – is its simple and intuitive Main Menu. It’s actually so simple that even your grandparents should be able to get started. When entering an address, the combination of Magellan’s touch keyboard with its input-assist algorithm is second to none. Starting with a city, you can begin entering a street name. Magellan kindly grays out the letters that don’t match its database and by the time you enter three or four characters, it gives you a list of probable matches. In my

Mio DigiWalker GPS Navigator
November 2005 From Product Reviews
Why Walk on the Wild Side? By Grant Clauser The Mio DigiWalker 136 is a handheld and in-car GPS navigator that's a bit of a mix between the PDA variety and a standard portable unit. You can take it with you when you leave your car, and use it to help you get around town even when you're just hoofing it. The DigiWalker is about the size of a PDA, and sports a nice-sized 3.5-inch color LCD display. It doesn't contain a hard drive, so you have to load the maps yourself with a PC, but it does come with a 256MB MultiMedia

Gadget Test Drive - Peter Framptom Plays With Gear (1)
July 2000 From E-Gear
Those of you who punch a clock and do honest work probably think being a product reviewer is a pretty sweet ride. You get all the latest stuff and just spend your days playing with it. To some extent, it's true. But it does have its dark side. Sometimes, the stuff doesn't work. Sometimes, it works but doesn't work right. Other times, a product is just so frustrating to use that you want to run it over in your driveway. Not that you'll find shattered bits of gear in my driveway, though. I sweep it regularly. Not considering the possibility that I was

July 2000 From E-Gear
Thankfully, we moved on to my Apple iBook. I say "my" because I plunked down $1,599 at CompUSA to buy it last January, so it wasn't a review sample, although if we're good, Apple's Byzantine PR department assures us that we're next on the list to review a Mac Plus. Ooops. Anyhow, Frampton, a dedicated Mac user and owner of three, including a laptop he travels with, seemed very impressed with the iBook, although he was more impressed with the idea of one in the restrained colors of the SE version, as opposed to my
