GPS

A dedicated GPS navigator keeps working where phone coverage drops out, which is handy on Australian road trips. This range is mainly Garmin, including the DriveSmart 66, 76 and 86 with live traffic via the smartphone app, the Drive 53, and the RV 795 and RV 895 for caravans and motorhomes. The DriveCam 76 and RVcam 795 add a built-in dash cam.

Motorcyclists can look at the Garmin zūmo XT2, and for hiking and remote travel there's the GPSMAP 65 handheld and the inReach Mini 2 satellite communicator. The Gator GTKPRO2 is a 4G GPS tracker for keeping tabs on a vehicle, and ATOTO wireless CarPlay and Android Auto adapters are also listed. Check each navigator's map coverage and screen size.
