About This Brand

A relative newcomer to the portable GPS market, Nextar has only been in the business for a few years. But its sales are booming, and it has found a niche by marketing its units more as commodity pieces. Prices are low, and you're more likely to find a Nextar GPS device at a drug or clothing store than at an electronics retailer. While its bargain prices often include features like reality view, spoken street names, and even free traffic info, we have found performance and ease of use aren't on par with top-rated brands. No Nextar models are currently recommended.
