Car GPS and navigation app reviews
Our car GPS test looks at how entry-level, mid-range and top-tier GPS units from Garmin, TomTom and Navman compare with GPS apps for your Android or iOS device like Apple Maps, Google Maps and Waze.
Our experts test-drive every GPS unit and app to find the models and programs that:
- are the easiest to use
- perform best in city areas
- perform best in rural and regional areas.
Shopping links on the CHOICE website
CHOICE is an independent, nonprofit organisation dedicated to helping consumers. Clicking a link will take you to a retailer’s website to shop. While we make money if you buy through some retailer links, this doesn’t influence any of our rankings. 100% of the money we make goes straight back into our nonprofit mission. We’re currently testing this service and will consider providing more shopping links in the future. Tell us what you think.
