About - Nextar X3-01

The Nextar X3-01 is a GPS available from Nextar. The X3-01 typically costs $160.00.

Consumer Reports recommends that you match the features on a model to the needs you have. Here's our take on some of the specifications and features that are commonly available on GPS models like the X3-01.


Screen size (in.):
The diagonal length of the display screen measured in inches and rounded to the nearest tenth on an inch.

Spoken street names:
Commonly referred to as "Text-to-Speech," this helpful feature is the ability to pronounce proper street names. For example, a system with this feature would say, "Turn right on Truman Avenue" rather than, "Turn right in 500 feet." Spoken street names allows the driver to confirm directions with street signs without looking at the screen.
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.
