Although the Binatone Carrera brand isn't well known in the Australian satellite navigation market, it is a fairly reputable name in the UK and Europe.
The Binatone Carrera X430 is really an entry level unit - it has no added features except for the GPS functionality. The trade off comes in the price - its recommended retail price is just under $300, and BIG W has it for just $198 until September 6 (view the offer here).
It comes with an exceptional 4.3-inch screen, which is quite large for a cheaper GPS unit. The X430 also comes with turn-by-turn voice navigation so you don't have to visually scan for directions when you're driving. The battery does tend to drain very quickly so this unit may not be suitable for heavy users, however if you're only intending to use it moderately, you won't exeperience many problems.
The Binatone Carrera X430 also comes with a built-in antenna and pre-installed 2008 Navteq maps as well as thousands of places of interest already loaded.
