Great Features, good price.August 16, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I just got this as an early birthday gift. I have used a Garmin model before, but wanted to find something with the MP3 capability, so figured we'd give this a go for the price. I LOVE that I can listen to music, have my pics if the kids on there and use it with bluetooth. I have had no issues with it. The directions are clear, it has never said to u turn on the highway for me..lol. There are lots of extras, nice case, extra mounts, ability to change screen colors, language, etc. I love that is accepts SD cards as we have many between cameras and MP3 players that fit in with no issues for music and pictures usage also. Great GPS for the $$$.
GPS is ok, Bluetooth doesn't workDecember 21, 2007 3 out of 5 found this review helpful
My husband got this as a birthday gift and ended up having to send it back after one day. The gps system seemed to work fine for him except for the fact that it took forever to get the time correct and to not change on him. The books didn't give any direction on this problem. Then when doing the bluetooth function the screen kept freezing on him and after turning it off after the crash it wouldn't even let us detect another device. Too many bugs to even bother getting a replacement.
Worst GPS ever..........November 26, 2007 4 out of 14 found this review helpful
Even you get this a free... avoid.. you cant afford to miss a route by guidance of this Nextar..
some weird things are 1> ask you a take a U-Turn in Highways 2> It will ask you to go staright instead of right or left road, after crossing it will ask you to trun right or left, by that time.. its gone..it will try to recalculate..over and over 3> After that got an irritating message!!!!!!! No Route found to this Destination. Will you believe that.. 4> Frequent hangs, Fatal Errors...
Its enough... i dont need a fancy or more functional GPS.. but need a GPS..which guide me to my destination, suggest a Detour with POI,s

Great value!October 8, 2007 40 out of 40 found this review helpful
This is my first GPS. I wanted a unit with TTS and a 4.3" screen. I was looking at the TomTom 720 and the Garmin nuvi 750 when I saw the great price on this unit. I decided to take a chance on a unit costing much less than what I was planning to spend. (In fairness, the TomTom and Garmin have a few additional features like an FM transmitter.) So far, I have not regretted it.
The unit powers up and locks on to the satellites fairly quickly if you have a clear view of the sky. Setup and navigation are fairly straightforward. The onboard stylus is useful but you can use your finger as well. Nextar does not show as much info on the main navigation screen as some others (e.g. signal strength) but I haven't found that to be a problem. It does have a volume control on the side, which some more expensive units don't seem to provide. It comes with the usual complement of chargers and mounts.
The TTS feature works well and the voice is clear and unaccented. I do not have a Bluetooth phone so I am unable to comment on that capability. I will say that both the Nextar and Garmin manuals spend many pages on Bluetooth setup, so it certainly seems to be a technology that isn't plug-n-play yet.
I initially set up an itinerary for a trip from Austin to Pittsburgh. The Nextar came up with a better route than MS Streets & Trips. I was able to easily add stopovers and it recomputed the route fairly quickly. Although having "only" 1.6M POIs, I was able to find most of the hotels and restaurants I was interested in for the trip. I used it around town over the weekend and it responded well to real-time course changes when I took streets that weren't on the route. No lockups or reboots. The unit successfully navigated in and around Memphis and other cities and stops on the route. There were some mistakes, mostly in whether connecting roads were right or left turns. I'm sure this is due to mistakes in the Navteq maps and not anything peculiar to the Nextar.
On a trip to Long Beach the unit also worked well in navigating from the airport to the hotel and then to other POIs. It did have our hotel on the wrong side of the street but I'm sure that's an error in the map.
I loaded some MP3s onto a 1GB SD card and the MP3 player played them just fine. One glitch is that it doesn't have a shuffle mode. I hope that will be added in a later upgrade. I did not try to load/view pictures. A USB cable is provided but has no function yet as there is nothing on the Nextar website to update. The unit was built in July so there is probably little need as yet.
The manual could be better, especially for GPS newbies like me. It has taken some experimentation to figure out how the various features work.
All in all, I am very satisfied. It doesn't have all of the features of more expensive units, but it is a great value for a 4.3" unit with TTS. I lost the slip case and tried to contact Nextar support. After a week I have not had any response.
