  • Full Review

    With navigation apps such as Google's T3 Award-winning Maps Navigation available on your phone, times are hard for standalone satnavs. It’s no longer enough for them to just provide reliable mapping; as with these devices, they have to add real-time traffic updates, location services and other extras to stay relevant.

    Here's a selection that'll get you from Dunkirk to the Danube, and you might even save a penny on fuel too..
