NICE GPS FOR THE MONEY

 

Here is Nextar's reply to my email about updated maps.

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

It worked for me...

 

Excellent value for less than $100.

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

Maps cannot be updated.

a decent unit

 

If you want a cheap but functional gps with no frills, this is it.

Works pretty well

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

Terrible Product

 

Quick turn around by newegg, but the unit had no sound and the replacement unit died two days later.

None, like title said this is a terrible product.

Bought as Christmas present, unit had no sound.

Pretty good unit

 

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.

Pretty good GPS for the $'s

 

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.

Works great so far.

 

This was a GREAT buy in my opinion. I thought for certain when I made this purchase that I would be returning it immediately and purchasing a more expensive model, but I took the chance and was pleasantly surprised. It has functioned flawlessly since...

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.

Get Where You Are Going!

 

For a basic GPS, this is great. If you like the best new electronics with the greatest features, this is probably not the unit for you. If you want a basic GPS that is reliable, it is a good choice.

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.

nextar P3 gps

 

i got my gps three days ago, and so far i'm pleased with the way it performs. There's no bargain that you'll find that's better than this one, with capabilities (like text-to-speech) that you'll only find in $100+ gps systems, in this one for only $80....

cheap, text-to-speech,

slight lag at times
