Not quality built

johnsc48 from South Haven, Michigan

At first I thought this was the best ever..but found out after 4 uses that it is not quality at all. The music would not shut off and go back to main menu. I took out the SD card and then hit the reset button because it would not shut off or do anything at all. The reset button did not do anything but bring up the main start page and the status bar would not go further than an 1/8 of the way. I called Nextar tech support which the guy new nothing said that he has not heard of this and to let the battery die and then recharge it and see what happens. If it needs to be exchanged then to call back and it can take 3 to 6 weeks. I purchased this because I am moving East from the Mid-west not a big deal but I wanted to have a GPS that worked. [...] Beware buying as this is not a reliable or quality unit. Read more

jmit1970 from Youngstown, Ohio

The main reason I bought this GPS was because it had all of the USA & Canada both, which is very hard to find in a GPS at this price. When I attempted to put in any address for Canada I got a fatal error message one time and had to shut the unit off, but since that time I put in Canada address and got the directions no problem. I've only got to use the unit 1 time so far. I put in my work address, of course it told me to go the fastest route it knew but that wasn't necessarily true due to stop lights and such so I went a different route on back roads. It did tell me to make a U-turn at the first chance which I thought was strange. One minor other thing was the voice prompt did not tell you when it was recalculating the route it just said it on the screen which isn't good when your trying to drive but like i said a minor issue I feel. It's a nice looking unit and the screen looks good. The speaker is a bit small and I have not tried playing MP3's on it but I can't imagine them sounding … Read more

Greg over the road from Fort Atkinson, WI

I have had a Garmin for the last 4 years and wanted a new smaller Garmin. I looked at this unit and found it had the same options as a garmin for less than half the price! Read more

Good Value on a small GPS system

phenisse from Longmont, CO

This is a nice, small GPS unit for under $100. I'm living on a fixed budget so the price was tantamount to the purchase. I've only had it a couple weeks but it has worked well. It even saved me when I got lost on my own in an unknown city. The voice is unclear on about 1/6 of the pronounciations but the visual display is clear and accurate (so far). I'm hoping for a software upgrade to improve the voice and add more points of interest. I won't give up my maps but I'm glad I have this. Read more

Good value for the money

Tigger2 from Sacramento, CA

The accuracy was a bit lacking. We were looking for a specific address on CA 101 (75000) but the available number range offered for input only went to 72199? (maybe the zip code limited the number range). It was simple to find, being right off the highway, but a bit worrysome that it wasn't spot-on accurate. Read more
