 Great GPS for the money January 2, 2009
This Nextar GPS is great. For less than $100 you get 3.5 inch screen, text to speech, mp3 player and photo viewer. Unit is a little slow acquiring GPS signal when first powered up and battery life coulld be longer. However it comes with a car power plug and an ac power plug and will charge via USB. I see a lot of people complaiining about the volume and not being able to hear it. I do not have that problem mine is extremely loud and I have to keep it turned off the maximum because it is blowing me away. I drive an old Toyota 4runner that is 4 wheel drive so I have plenty of road noise. Anyway I would highly recommend and put it up against anything Garmin and Magellan make in the $150-$200 range.

It's 3-in-1 product. gps, mp3 player, and picture viewer. I did not use other than gps. It's a great product other thanbr /br /1. It can be slow to update. On road it can be annoying, if your turns are within 200 feet or less. By the time gps's done saying, I've already missed the turn at the speed of 20miles/hour.br /2. It does not get gps signal that easily.br /br /good value for the price overall.

I loved everything about this unit. It was super-easy to use. Quickly responsive. Provided street names. Had all the features one could want. But we regretfully had to return it after one short trip. We soon discovered that when traveling at a faster speed on the open road, the volume, even at maximum, could not be heard over the normal road noise in a Honda Accord. If you're alone in your vehicle, no music and just in-town traveling, it would be ideal.

Bought one, had to take it back because at full volume I couldnt hear it. Got another and still had the same problem. Now I have a Garmin and can hear it fine.

I got it from staples, which has a very bad reviews. From my personal view, I found that this unit is reasonably good especially when you look at the text to speech function which is really nice at this price tag. It receive the GPS signals in about 1-3 mins, while the first time you use it may take longer time. The directions are clear and accurate.br /br /One common problem one may encounter is that this unit may automatically shut down. However, after you change the setting for the sleep time, the problem will be gone. Some guys in the staples review give this unit a poor score due to this, while they don't know /change this setting.br /br /The turn by turn and text to speech function is excellent. Some other guys in the staples review found that the battery maybe poor, however, for me ,it may last about 2 hours. This is reasonable for me since most of the time you will drive you car. Another good thing is that you can charge the battery by directly connected to computer.br /br /Some minor problems with this unit is that it may not respond very quickly (compared to MIO C220) when you touch the screen. However, it is good enough to handle.br /br /Anyway, this unit is a deal especially when you can get at a sub200 price.
