www.edmunds.com You've got a busy summer ahead. Before setting out on that road trip out West or back East, you'll have to find time to download some travel music. (We recommend new releases from Common, My Morning Jacket and Weezer.) After that, we've got another assignment for you that promises to make your summer trip easier and may enhance your listening habits, too: Get a portable navigation system. Of course, we wouldn't dream of leaving you out in the cold on such an important decision, so we're updating last year's portable navigation system roundup with four new or newly improved portable systems. Since our last portable navigation review, a few of the units we sampled have changed significantly, plus there are two all-new units that seem promising on paper — the Dash Express and Becker Travel Assistant.

We took the Garmin Nuvi 265WT GPS from take off to cruising altitude and speed in a Cessna 750. The tracking worked great and we saw the unit go up to 625 mph although the video only showed around 500 mph. It was fun comparing the Nuvi to the in-flight map because we got to see our flight moving over roads! However, while the speed were comparable, we noticed that after above 10000 feet, the altitude didn't match the in-flight map by as much as several thousand feet (at 25000 ft). We assume the in-flight system is more accurate. See the video response titled "40000 ft altitude ..." video where we take the same GPS but recorded its usage on a commercial flight. www.youtube.com

More Than Just Directions Although most navigation systems have the same map data provided by one of two companies, all units are not the same. The interface, computing time and features vary greatly. One thing to keep in mind when shopping for a portable navigation device is that price isn't a good indicator of quality. Some of the poorest-performing devices can also be the most expensive. On the other hand, even midprice brands offer tons of features, including a way to play those downloaded Weezer tracks. Another notable feature is real-time traffic — all the units featured here have it. If you don't need features like traffic and the ability to play music ...
