Nextar M3 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This little item offers map updating every 25 feet. It has a good response time if you drive within reasonable speed limits....lead footed speeders will find it to be a bit sluggish if they are driving over 80 m.p.h..
Make sure you download the ActiveSync program from the Microsoft Mobile website... this unit runs on Windows CE and you can do upgrades on it...or even hack it if you so desire.. AFTER the warranty period has expired!! Using ActiveSync you can make back-ups on you PC and edit routes, files and settings.
I have friends that use other GPS devices that have more "bells and whistles", some of which they have to pay to subscribe to. This is just a basic GPS. I WILL STILL USE MAPS! I probably always will. If you are planning a long trip with any of these units, use the "waypoint system" of navigation: break your trip up into sections and save them as favorites.
This device is great for when you are driving down a dark road in a storm and are having trouble reading the cross road name signs, or if you go out on a drive and get lost you can cue in HOME and that is where it will take you. NICE!!!
Upgrades to the maps should be available in April, 2009.
I paid $79.99 NEW and it came with 2 sets of holders for cars....I would not pay any more than that for ANY of these devices. I am rating this a four star item because I believe that the instructions could be improved and the corporate website support pages could be improved.
