If tactile quality was a persuasive factor when it came to choosing a palm-sized satellite-navigation system, the Indago might just turn left after 500 yards, then immediately right, and nuzzle its way into your shopping basket.
It is the perfect miniature replica of a flat-screen TV - a 32-inch Sony, accidentally put through several hot wash cycles.
The manufacturer claims the antenna is the most powerful GPS receiver in its field and will work out where it is almost instantly (tall buildings and trees don't appear to be a problem). The screen is less prone to reflected glare and the mapping a little more, well, map like. www.telegraph.co.uk
When I experimented with an early GPS unit in 2001, I ended up missing a meeting, but it is all so very different now. It's not a matter of finding a GPS system that works, it's a matter of finding the one which suits you best.
I tried the Indago sat nav system, which told me about accident problem spots, safety cameras, schools and is the size of an early PDA. This much nicer to use.

One of two units mixing UK sat-nav with speed trap warning. The compact design put all controls on the touchscreen and the window mounting was solid. Easy and instinctive to use, the sat-nav worked well, and trap warnings were spoken with the speed limit, which also showed on the screen. It claimed mobile location, but didn't find any of our test sites.
