The Intellinav One portable GPS navigation unit costs just $350 but packs in features that might give even top-rated GPS devices from Garmin a run for their money. In this price range, it's unusual to see text-to-speech capabilities, where the GPS device pronounces street names as it instructs you where to turn next.

Sweetening the deal is a 1-GB SD card loaded with maps of North America, and there are also 1.2 million points of interest (POI) on board. You can pick this baby with confidence, too, because PC Magazine liked its high-end features and low-end price, however didn't much care for its multimedia player capability. Never mind that, you can take your iPod along for entertainment.

This looks like a great way to get into GPS, one of those world-changing technologies that you'll wonder how you ever lived without. — Charlie White
