 Decent while it worked...... June 28, 2008
We've had the C3 for 10 months. When it works, it's usually very nice. Unfortunately, we've had numerous issues. First, it takes a long time to triangulate on startup (~3-5 mins). Second, we've had numerous times where the shortest route was actually much longer than the real shortest route (yes, we also tried changing the default settings and used a second GPS that had no problem finding the real shortest route). Thirs, the unit died on us twice. Once it wound up being the car adapter (although the battery capacity had drastically decreased). This past week it simply stopped turning on. It's definitely not the car adapter, so we've no got a dead unit.
When it was working, the voice prompting was good and the screen was great. The local attractions menu is very nice although in need of a drastic refresh. One trip, we tried finding a nearby sushi place outside on D.C. We tried four hits for sushi restaurants and none were there. We would be directed to the address fine, but the restaurants either were long out of business or simply never there.
All in all. It's a cheap unit and has many nice features, but It' worth picking up a better quality GPS for $50 more.
 Has software issues June 8, 2008
You are better off spending more money and buying a GPS of a different brand that will actually last longer and doesn't have built in software problems. I bought one of these and used it for about a month during which it worked fine, until one day it suddenly froze and kept giving me a "fatal application error" message. I had Amazon replace it with a new one. The new one has worked for 4 months, until now when it has developed the exact same problem and keeps giving me a "fatal application error". Buying this unit has been a waste of my money, and the fact that the second unit they sent me developed the same problem shows that this GPS is simply not well made. As another reviewer mentioned the vehicle power cord is also defective. Mine literally fell apart the minute I took it out of the packaging and I am still waiting for the company to send me a replacement.
 bought 2 One good & one junk April 29, 2008
I bought 2 nextar C3 GPS units. One for me and one for my daughter. Hers works fine. Mine worked well in the house except that it said my home here in the florida highlands was 37 feet below sea level. My home is actually 81 feet above sea level. I took it to my garage to check it out in the car. With the car engine off, I pluged it in to the cigarette lighter connection and it imediatly burned up.
Good basic GPS April 19, 2008
It works very good, lacks of some POIs like starbucks, and you have to wait around 5 minutes for the system to acquire gps signal. But it's a good gps to start.
 Nextar GPS April 18, 2008
I absolutely love this product.!!!!!!!!!! I drove down to my aunts in Tennessee and it guided me right to her home which sits on top of a mountain. It is surrounded by trees...and still it was accurate. I will and do reccomment this product to everyone I meet.
