What is it:
Budget sat-nav device with Bluetooth and 89mm touchscreen

What we think:
While it offers Bluetooth and basic routing from A to B, there are still issues that stop it from becoming a budget classic

We like:
Bluetooth hands-free calls; fine-tuning destinations; custom POIs (points of interest) and safety cameras; route speed

We don't like:
Unintuitive interface; no free map updates; cheap looking casing; no TMC traffic information; volume control hard to access

The judgement:
The Binatone Carrera C350BT does provide ample navigation to get you from A to B, but it feels more like a budget device compared to some of its competitors, and the interface is not the most intuitive. But perseverance does have its rewards and you will find a set of useful options thrown in, including Bluetooth hands-free calls and the ability to add your own custom POIs and safety camera alerts directly from the interface
