Satguide PND:
Unlike the expensive device it had earlier, Satguide has just launched a lovely item, the PND, for Rs 12,000. However, don’t grab the PND because of its price. It too plays MP3s, movies and pictures, has a touchscreen and a 3.5 inch LCD, but there is a catch. The PND, by default, comes loaded with the map of just one city. So if you were to venture out of the city you live in, you will lose your bearings. Additional maps come for about Rs 1,000 per city. The quality of the maps leaves you with a slight feeling of discontentment. For instance, some of the major streets in Delhi and Mumbai are not even named, simply marked as “unknown streets”.
The Satguide PND suffers the same problem as the Map My India device of being loaded with only India maps. In case you want to travel abroad, you may have difficulty finding new maps. The device runs on Windows CE, so loading a third party map may not be that much trouble, but you will have to see how the warranty is worded.

Garmin Nuvi 200:
The world leader in the GPS navigation systems, Garmin has the Nuvi 200 as its bestseller. The Nuvi is a portable model that you can use both in the car as well as in hand. It comes preloaded with Indian maps, but with lesser details than in the MMI and Satguide maps. Available at a great price of Rs 12,000, it cannot play MP3s or video files—but it can show you JPG picture files. The Nuvi 200 also has a 3.5 inch screen that gives the impression of being small—r¿it’s just the sleek design. It can accept SD cards with maps and pictures, and you can use it as a world clock, calculator, and currency convertor.
