Nextar - NAVX3 Review

This is a basic unit.  It will allow you to upload mp3 and image files.  So I guess you can also use it as a very small digital picture frame.  The voice prompts allow plenty of time to position for your next turn.  Maps are dated about 2006, so some errors are possible.  I have not found a way to download new POI (points of interest) from the internet, so that may be a set back.  This unit has a VERY short battery life, maybe one and a half hours fully charged.  Address input is easy.  You pick a state, start typing the city until it shows in the list, pick a house number, then street.  Addresses are accurate with minimal flaws.  My particular address says I am across the street.  But keep this in mind, paper maps don't have street numbers.  The menu system is very intuitive.  My wife was able to navigate, save favorite addresses, and change settings without using the manual.  For a cheapy system you get your money's worth.

Does have one small glitch.  At times a "ghost" will turn the unit on without anyone else around.
