Nextar C3 GPS Navigational System
After getting lost while trying to find the movie theater in my new town, I drove around for about an hour seeing only farmland and tractor crossing signs. Did I mention I was low on gas and the sun was starting to set. I was lucky enough to find a local Uhaul to ask for directions and a gas station nearby. From that moment on, I declared I would never be lost again.
I brought this little bad boy from Circuit City for about $150 to $180. It was a pretty good price for a portable GPS. It came with a computer usb cord, a wall charger, a car charger, a dashboard and windshield mount. Basically it came with everything you could need, including the ability to play mp3s on an SD card.
It worked fairly well. It took awhile to get a signal when turning it on. Not sure how many satellites they have up there, but it's not enough. Hope that it's not cloudy and you need to get somewhere because you'll be waiting for a bit. Sometimes it would lead you to nowhere and you can search for places. However, it has to be a shopping center or mall. You can't just do a search for Target, unless you know it's in a particular shopping strip, which you probably don't. It doesn't hold its charge for a long time so you'll have to charge it in your car. All in all, if you need something cheap to get you to major places that aren't newly developed then this is for you. On a good note, on Nextar's site you can enter in the correct location if it leads you to the wrong place.
So, if you have this specific product, what did you like/dislike about it?
