Traffic performance compared

Laptop Magazine has compared the traffic performance of GPS models from each of the top selling U.S. brands.  These are brief reviews that focus on interface and cost, rather than the accuracy of traffic reports. The latter is quite difficult to gauge, since performance will vary from one city to the next. It’s too bad they didn’t also look at an MSN Direct receiver. Anyway, with those caveats, on to the links…

• TomTom GO 720T – 4 stars (read our review)
• Mio DigiWalker C720t – 3.5 stars (read our review)
• Garmin StreetPilot c550 – 3 stars (read our review)
• Magellan Maestro 4250 – 3 stars (read our review)
• Navigon 5100 – 2.5 stars
