For the first few months the battery would charge and stay charged for several hours, but now we have to leave it plugged into the charger during all trips or it will not turn on. The volume is almost non-existent we have to constantly watch the screen for the directions. We have gotten lost, taken the wrong exit, or driven 2 miles out of the way because it could not give precise directions or accurate routes. After using it for a year I can honestly say this, do not buy one. I knew ahead of time that it was not a fancy gps and was expecting it to do it's job and nothing else.

I purchased it for my husband during a large day after Thanksgiving sale and got it for a really great price. The Nextar X3 Portable GPS Navigator does it's job, barely. The favorites feature and most recent helps to quickly navigate back home. It is pretty easy to set your destination. One new road I travel from time to time shows up as us driving through a field of nothing while it tells us to get on a road. There have been several times where it gives directions wrong and it is likely because it is not aware that the road has changed.
#Nextar x3 03 update#
It will say update is available, hook to computer. My biggest issue with this GPS is that right from the start it would not update.

A message comes up stating that it is searching. It takes a bit to find where you are when you first turn it on. The website is also useless as many models do not show up for updates. It says there are updates available but can't seem to get them. It is fairly easy to use (though a bit irritating to listen to), but it has not been possible to update the maps since I purchased it over a year ago. My overall opinion of this GPS is not bad.
