Best-in-class turn-by-turn sat nav without buying a dedicated device? That's the idea with TomTom's new Android app.

Why buy a sat nav when you can change your phone into one? Here's why...

With iOS 6 and the furore over Apple Maps, more people will be looking for an alternative mapping solution. If you chose to use the TomTom sat-nav app, is this iPhone hands free car kit worth the outlay?

The TomTom Via 135 boasts voice recognition and maps for the UK and Ireland, but does it offer truly hands-free sat nav?
The TomTom Start 60 Europe throws the best bits of sat navs into a bigger screen, while keeping the price at a reasonable level.

With smartphones growing more capable for navigation, can a 7-inch touchscreen sat nav persuade us to fork out for its services?

Excellent navigation functionality - if you can bear Jeremy Clarkson's jokes

Affordable connected sat nav shows rivals how it should be done

As affordable sat navs go, they don't come any better than this

TomTom's impressive LIVE Services get squeezed into a less impressive form factor

The sat-nav market is becoming a very crowded place, and the quality of hardware has rocketed in the last year. Gone are the poor quality boxes with screens like Casio calculators. The market is now awash with internet-connected iPhone-like creatures, with decent processing and a host of options.

TomTom's latest motorbike sat nav tested

Wow. If sat nav heaven is having Angelina Jolie jump into the passenger sea and asking you where you want to go, then the Garmin Nuvi 3790T comes a very, very close second.

Slim, smart, powerful and packed with useful features, it's simply the best in class at what it does, but you have to pay for the privilege

Simpler, smarter navigation. That's the promise of Mio's latest range of Spirit savnavs, represented here by the range-topping Mio Spirit 575, which has a huge 11.9cm display, built-in IQ Routes and LearnMe – a Mio-derived technology that helps the satnav adapt to your driving style. Hang on, IQ Routes?

Nice and easy does it with this new entry-level sat nav

TomTom's feature-packed sat nav helps to avoid traffic jams

A loud and bright sat-nav device

Everyone knows that satnavs are cheap as chips these days, with examples available online for a good deal less than £100, something that makes the arrival of the £449.99 TomTom GO 940 Live more than a little surprising.

TomTom may be king of the satnavs, but its crown it also prone to slipping occasionally - as we discovered during our supertest in May. Then the TomTom GO 920 Traffic proved competent enough but lacked any real killer features that separated it out from the rest of crowded satnav market. Indeed we concluded that the Garmin nuvi 770 had a better balance of features. That now looks to have changed

Magellan's Maestro 4245 (£300 inc. VAT) is a feature-packed satellite navigation device, offering maps for 17 European countries. It has a sleek design, and its 17mm depth helps it to slip in pockets or handbags with ease.

When we asked Navman to put up a satnav for our three-way test against the TomTom Go 920 T and Garmin nuvi 770, the Navman S90i was its obvious answer - all three products are the flagship models of their respective brands. And the homegrown Navman has an ace or two up its sleeve. The question is: is it enough?

Garmin plays second (or even third) fiddle to TomTom when it comes to satnav in the UK and it's hard to see why. The nuvi 770 competes head-to-head against TomTom's flagship 920T and it's just as worthy of pole position
