Our car GPS test looks at how entry-level, mid-range and top-tier GPS units from Garmin, TomTom and Navman compare with GPS apps for your Android or iOS device like Apple Maps, Google Maps and Waze.

Our experts test-drive every GPS unit and app to find the models and programs that:

  • are the easiest to use
  • perform best in city areas
  • perform best in rural and regional areas.

Scott O'Keefe worked at CHOICE from 2004 to 2024. He originally joined as a verifier, and started testing the year after. He went on to become a senior test coordinator in the digital home team and our resident expert on TVs, audio/visual and various other products such as car GPS and phones for seniors. Before CHOICE, Scott worked in IT for 22 years, mostly as a software engineer and team leader for a large insurance company. He also ran his own business, providing in-home PC and home-theatre support. His passions include myth-busting, anime, photography, and collecting vintage telephones and scientific hardware – he has an attic museum at home. He's also passionate about protecting his personal ID and data, so he doesn't have LinkedIn or Twitter accounts.
