Nextar X4-T 4.3-Inch Portable GPS Navigator with MP3 Player Review

Nextar X4-T 4.3-Inch Portable GPS Navigator with MP3 Player Review from ITimeM Mike. Unreliable. Costly to have repaired under warranty., This is my second NEXTAR GPS. Upgrading from the X3(3″ screen) instead of buying new glasses.
This brand has several superior features I have not seen in other brands.
Additionally it does not have a load of ‘commercial’ materials as the Garmens do from AAA.
+Voice to text. The GPS announces route changes/turns and includes the street name route you’ll be turning onto. No need to look away from the road when the GPS says turn to identify what road/route you’re turning onto.
+You can create an itinerary for your trip if you want to go a specific route you already know.
+ You can identify a “current location” and then save it to favorites.
+ An additional feature is available when looking up destinations by address, or on any location added to favorites. After saving the address/location to favorites you can EDIT the address/location title, and add a title you will be more familiar with than just the address.
The voice on this model is clear and the volume is easily controlled by a volume knob on the side of the unit, no need to go into the set up.
The 4″ screen has good resolution and color and routes appear to be up-to-date.
The map data is USA only and is on a 1GB SD card. I have not attempted to go on-line and research maps for Canada which I also want.
I have had the unit for about 1 month (May 8-08) and I am sure I will learn more about it but travel often by car and it has been great. It easily recalculates route directions if you fail to turn where directed (AS I HAVE) and also recalculates if you know a better road. When taking your own route it will often direct you to make a U-turn when possible, but it will eventually come around.
Needless to say I love this brand & model.
