Not only is it simple to use even before reading the instructions, it took us right to our home address which is not always easy for many to find. The best thing I liked about it was it let me type in the WHOL..." Read Full Review »

"This is the first GPS unit I've ever purchased, and I only purchased it because I received a Radio Shack gift card and the unit was on sale. Upon initial use, it kept powering off while in use. I then discovered that the DC car adapter was intermittent and needed to be replaced. So long as this unit has power or is fully charged it seems to work fairly well and is accurate. Upon first powering up the unit it som..." Read Full Review »

"Have had mine for about a week. I couldn't get a GPS signal, even with battery fully charged and outside. Called Nextar. They told me to take it back to Radio Shack; the unit was defective.

"This is one of the best GPS units on the market. I have dealt with Garmin, TomTom, Magellan, and countless other GPS units. If you want a unit that is easy to use right out of the box without looking at instructions, this is a great buy. And the price isn't bad either for this little power unit. "
