I should of known it was too good to be true. This product, and the so-called help from the manufacturer is a joke. I can't get my money back for this sub-standard product, but I can sure write a review that will maybe save someone elses hard earned money. The back-up camera was the first thing that didn't work. Had a person that installs them for a living try to install it, and even HE couldn't get it to work! The company REFUSED to replace the camera! The GPS system itself, is completely outdated in regards to the maps. Fifty percent of the addresses that I try to enter will not work, no matter HOW they are entered. NO SUCH ADDRESS, is the usual response. And go on their website and look for the the map update it promises you will be available in the product brochures, good luck finding that! No updates, and NO reason why. Save your money, buy AMYTHING but products by NEXTAR. Never again!!!
 Not bad if you can find a bargin price October 13, 2008

This is not a bad unit, on par with my Verizon Navigator that I had on my phone but without the $10 service charge and air time that I had to pay Verizon. Don't fall for the back-up camera, it's only a gimmick especially if you live in the north where you get some chilly fall nights that mix with the heat of the day and causes condensation on the camera lens, or if your like me and wash the vehicle alot. The Condensation renders the camera completely useless. I'm going to try to dry it out with a hair dryer and see what happens. Also the antena causes some problems, once in awhile you get static, (picture noise) but that only happens very seldom since initial installation, it has pretty much corrected itself with more use, it could be a problem caused by the condensation. The installation was not a problem because it was done professionally and all the splices where soldered to insure good contact.
As the title says, if you can find it at a bargin price, it's a good deal but if you can find a better unit at the same price without the back-up camera and more features then I would go with that unit instead.

I usually do not write reviews, but this time I feel it is my duty. I must say quality assurance for this company is extremely poor. The first time I used it, I thought it was quite easy to use. The UI for the GPS function was well designed (but you cannot listen to MP3 while using the GPS, and it sometimes blanks out probably thinking that the backup camera has turned on). After a couple of months, the device started making ticking sounds and then ceased to work. I had it replaced, but upon arrival the new device would freeze after a few touches on the screen. I had it replaced again. But after a couple of weeks the device started to repeatedly reboot during operation. Now I cannot even turn it on. This is a great disappointment. I had to pay for the postage, insurance, and delivery confirmation every time I returned a product.
 Nextar GPS with backup camera August 1, 2008

I really disappointed with this Nextar GPS. First of all its LCD screen is not bright enough to view in day time even if you have set the brightness at maximum level. The picture of backup camera it too poor. Even a 20 Dollars nanny camera may be better than this. The camera connects to the GPS via wireless connection but the technology used for it is old analog one, not digital. The result is if you put your car in reverse gear 10 times it may show you the poor back view 6 times and misses 4 times. I have used many other GPS units all of those have a facility that when you slow down the speed, the map on LCD automatically zooms-in and when you go fast it zooms out. But this Nextar GPS has nothing like that. Very bad experience and I have returned it back.
 great GPS W/rear view camera. July 3, 2008

Great GPS and a bonus rear view camera (color)... GPS function is easy to program and works great. Rearview camera needs to be adjusted to view as close to the rear bumper as possible... Had to make a special bracket to accomplish this.... now in my van I see 1 feet behind the rear bumper... I would recgomend this GPS and rearview camera to any one that has a VAN... Will be buying a second camera for use on my car....
