This is the program used by our Issue 952 portable sat-nav test winner, the Acer 630 - and for the most part, it's identical. The screen was clear and colourful, with route planning being very easy. We liked the number of spoken instructions (which could be varied), the pictograms and junction zoom. Traffic info is available with most phones, and on each route we were asked if we wanted updates and alternative directions as and when required. There were numerous POIs in our categories, although, oddly, phone and address details weren't available.
