Nextar Mp3 Player
Nextar MP3 Player
By Anne Ahira
Who would have thought that someone would combine a GPS navigator with an mp3 player?
Nextar mp3 player is actually a navigator with a slot for SD memory cards to play your favorite tunes while on a road trip. Pretty neat idea all things being equal, but does the unit stand user tests?
Features
- 1.6 million points of interest
- Built in map of all 50 states and Canada
- Bluetooth for hands free calling
- SD slot for mp3
- Built in lithium ion battery
Pros
Not getting lost while you are traveling is always a nice bonus, but adding in the mp3 function was a perfect touch. Now you can travel confident of getting to the right address on time while jamming to your saved music.
No more hunting for radio stations as you travel from area to area. Nextar mp3 player and GPS combination covers all your basic traveling needs in one unit.
The 4.3-inch touch screen is a huge improvement over earlier releases. It may not sound like a very large screen but mounted on the dash of your vehicle it really stands out.
Nextar mp3 player and GPS combo also has text to speech function. That means the addresses and points of interest will be spoken in clear English. A very helpful feature, indeed.
If you have more than one vehicle you will love the way the Nextar mp3, player and GPS combination mounts. It mounts simply to the vehicle vents making it easy to transfer it from one car to the next. This is also handy if you are traveling with a friend or family member.
Cons
Some users had issue with delayed reaction of the unit when giving directions. For instance, it may tell you to turn a little late, like after you have passed the road!
Perhaps this was an issue with just one defunct unit, however common sense would dictate that as you are driving you would be on the lookout for street signs and such negating the possibility of this occurring.
Of course if the unit is supposed to be exact then it should be, particularly considering they run a couple of hundred dollars.
There were other similar issues such as being instructed to make a U-turn in inappropriate places and no route found to this destination messages. Again, this could have been problems with one particular unit, only time will tell.
Screen freezing on the Bluetooth screen was also a reported problem with the Nextar mp3 player and GPS unit.
Customer Ratings
Ratings are evenly split on the love it/ hate it scale. One customer had all the issues listed above however no one else suffered such extreme problems. Small things like hotels on the wrong side of the street and such but nothing major.
Overall
The price is right on the Nextar mp3 player and GPS. For quite a bit less than the competition, you get a navigation device that doubles as an mp3 player.
