Product is excellent except for the fact that for some reason it will not save correct time on GPS screen, no matter how many times i change it. I called Nextar customer support and they said they couldn't help for some reason. Well after i spoke w/ Nextar and they couldn't help me, it still irritated me about the time, so i just kept pushin' buttons and eventually fixed it. Turned out that the timezone thing had to be changed. But yet still everytime i use it and click navigate it gives me the ETA an hour earlier, because i always have to change the timezone thing. but great otherwise.
I have a hard time entering some local cities as the unit tries to guide me and I end up with the wrong city. I was trying to enter Clear Lake Oaks Ca and it kept taking me to Clearlake MN. Everytime you enter a letter the unit eliminates most of the remaining numbers. So by the time I had entered Clear Lake the letter O was eliminated from being selected. Very frustrating and maybe I'm doing something wrong. Nothing in the instructions to help me. Otherwise it's a nice unit and the technology is amazing to an old guy like myself. Also there are many good spots to mount this on the dash in my 74 VW bus Gertrude and she loves it. With the MP3 stereo and a wireless computer and now GPS she thinks she's a new car again.
i like the price very reasonable and its a good size not to bulky it has gotten me to where i wanted with no problems the only thing that could use some improvement is the volume with volume up all the way its sounds a little distorted but its still understandable and just look at the direction its telling you anyway you can't beat it for the price i would reccomend this to anyone that is not looking to spend a lot of money on a gps that will get you where your going either way
I purchased the Nextar M3 3.5" Portable Slim GPS Navigator Touch Screen on Jan 21, 2011. Was Shipped the next day and in my mail 2 days later. Wow! Easy to use and worked perfectly. Something’s you need to refer to the manual on but overall easy to learn. Went on first trip today and very pleased. Excellent buy for the money, but not sure if the price will remain low so don't wait too long. Thanks Nextar!
I chose this GPS unit because of the price. I'd had one for quite a while but it recently quit so I found this one and couldn't beat the price. I thought I'd try it. I haven't figured out yet how to type in an address with the starting position not being specific. It picks where you start from (city center, certain location in city, etc) but if you don't know much about the city where you're starting, it's hard to get it programmed. I've only been able to successfully use it a couple of times, but it's gotten me where I needed to go. I didn't expect perfection for $45. You get what you pay for...
