This is my first portable GPS unit, my other car has built in GPS. I was suurprised how easy the unit is to operate. I have used it for a few weeks and it has worked perfectly. I even copied the 1GB SD card to a 2GB card and added a MP3s in a Music...

I contacted Nextar about getting updated maps and they do not offer them right now. The map included is from 2007 so you may want to go to a different brand like Garmin or Tom Tom

Good value for the money, and it is extremely simply to use.

Maps cannot be updated.

Works pretty well

No preloaded canada maps nor map updates. I checked with their support staff and they have no plans of releasing updates

None, like title said this is a terrible product.

Bought as Christmas present, unit had no sound.

Inexpensive but works pretty good. Smaller screen size fits on my instrument cluster so it's not very visible to others, yet is easily viewable. Paid for itself my first trip back East with a rental car (I'm directionally challenged big time).

Touchscreen is too sensitive in my jacket iPod holder when I'm snowboarding using the MP3 function.

For the price, this is a decent unit. It is very handy and works well. It is my first one so I don't have anything to compare it against but I am glad I got it.

It seems there is no way to update the maps which are 2+ years old, however, for me it has all the streets I need.

Turn-by-turn voice instructions

Voice instructions can be a bit difficult to understand at times, but that could just be my ears I suppose.

Easy to operate out of the box. I am still discovering some of the more advanced features. Has got me to all the places I wanted to go. Did not recognize some newly constructed roads in my area, but was able to "adjust" within seconds and keep me on my...

Screen is a little washed out in bright sunlight. I have not really looked at the dispay options to see if there is any adjustment for this. I have never been unable to see the screen.

cheap, text-to-speech,

slight lag at times

It was working when it worked

This GPS stopped working after 2 months owning the GPS
