Acer e310

Award: Hot Product!

Review summary: - Satnav seems to be turning up everywhere. At one time you had to pay for the privilege but with the advent of cheaper chipsets and smaller technology, GPS is here to stay. The Acer e310 Travel Companion is a good case in point. It's a nice handheld ...

Pros: Cheap, accurate

Cons: Not the easiest to set-up

Verdict: With powerful GPS mapping and a host of extra features, this is one affordable satnav you can't afford to lose

Review summary: The GPS revolution is great, but there are still many people who get lost on foot as well as in the car. While you could, in theory, pack a TomTom in your slacks, you'd be sporting the kind of bulge that would clear a shopping precinct in seconds.

Pros: Bright clear screen, Pedestrian-friendly screen, Eminently affordable

Cons: A bit too quiet, Small

Verdict: This is a very impressive bit of kit - and crucially, it won't ruin the line of your suit

Review summary: There's no doubt that the GPS has been the single most important weapon in the battle against losing yourself. Unfortunately, with GPS kits themselves shrinking to nanoscopic sizes - and there's no better example of this than the Acer e310

Pros: Very compact, Affordable, Surprisingly good reception

Cons: Poor speaker volume

Verdict: Feature packed and utterly affordable, this is an excellent compact GPS device

Review summary: The Acer e310 is more than just a GPS navigator
