Touchless Direction

For my birthday a couple of years ago, I received a Nextar GPS. Surprising to me, it has been one gadget that I am very happy that I own. The only downside to any GPS is the fact it doesn’t have a sense for knowing when roads disappear.

With that in mind, I considered purchasing a newer GPS model, but decided to go online to try to update the maps for my Nextar M3. I expected to dish out between $50 and $70 for the updated maps. When I visited the Nextar site, I found a happy surprise. Although they do not offer map updates to my Nextar model, they do offer the Nextar Product Exchange program. Long story short, I send them my Nextar M3 and a $90 check and they send me the new Q4-MD, Nextar’s newest feature-packed GPS model retailed at $299.99.

Nextar is not the first (or even second) company I think of for a GPS, but I urge anyone who already has an elderly Nextar to consider this new program.
