Navigon GPS Navigator N100 LOOX

If keeping your gadgets small and pocketable is important, and you need a capable GPS device that also boasts some slick media functions, then the Navigon N100 from Fujitsu-Siemens deserves a look.

The bright, 2.8-inch touchscreen offered great clarity indoors, but was quickly washed out in bright sunlight.
