Delbert J. Lewis ( Columbus, Ga. USA ) So far this unit has performed well. The major problem that I have is the volume is too low. I have it maxed out and still cannot hear it. I use it in my RV and the road noise overwhelms it. I found that by adding computer speakers and using a 12V 110V converter for power works well. That is my only real beef with it. Otherwise you need to work with it a while to find out how it works as the written instructions leave much to be desired.

ARIAL ( NYC, USA ) 1.GREAT GPS AND ATLAS FUNCTIONS.
2. SHORT AND LIMITED POI LIST - NOT VERY IMPORTANT.
3.NAVIGATION, REROUTING, VIDEO AND VOICE GUIDE VERY GOOD.
4. INTERNAL MEMORY HAS TWO PARTITIONS -HIDDEN SYSTEM AND PROGRAM WHICH EASILY ACCESSIBLE FROM USB AND HAS NO PROTECTION. I CONNECTED TO MY PC AND TO OPEN IT USED "OPEN WITH WINDOWS EXPLORER". AFTER I BACKED UP ALL AND DISCONNECTED I FOUND THAT DEVICE WON'T LOAD MENU. I CHECKED AUTORUN FILE AND FOUND THAT IT WAS REPLACED OR CREATED BY MY PC (WINOWS XP). I WAS ABLE TO CORRECT PROBLEM - .INI FILE IS START POINT AND CHANGED ATTRIBUTES TO READ ONLY FOR ALL FILES ON THE PROGRAM PARTITION. PROBABLY IT WAS MAJOR PROBLEM FOR MOST "DEFECTIVE UNITS" - CAN BE EASILY INFECTED FROM PC.
5. SIZE WORTH THE MONEY.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR BIG CARS.

L. BRACKEEN ( colorado ) It goes without saying that this unit needs a lot of space. It is about 4 times the size of a 4.3 inch screen. I have used the unit for more than 5,000 miles in a Sprinter based RV, I also use a Garmin 765 at the same time so the comparison is between these two for navigating.
The Snap7 has several outstanding features which I really love. The large screen displays more information than the Garmin, including miles and direction for the second turn as well as next turn, speed, distance and time to destination and very good lane information. In a city, it does a much better job of showing which lane to use than does the Garmin. I especially like the feature that it will zoom out to either 5 mi/in or 20 mi/in range until close to the next manuever. It does a beautiful job of showing terrain like mountains, lakes and city boundaries. Useful on a cross-country trip. It is excellent as a second unit
The negatives- The screen is hard to see in bright light, not nearly as bright as the Garmin. The voice is very poor,almost unintelligible. I use POI Factory a lot for camping areas, rest stops, favorite locations, etc and can find no way to download the POI's into the Snap7. In fact the installed POI's are awkward to use. The most important deficiency is the routing. At least a dozen times it calculated a different inferior route than the Garmin. The Garmin nearly always gave better directions no matter what settings you used on the Snap7. Only twice did the Snap7 give better routing than the Garmin.
I am happy I bought the Snap 7 and would recommend it, expecially if you have a vehicle with a large windshield and do a lot of cross-country travelling. With the low prices of GPS's now it is feasible to use two units for different purposes.

John E. Watson ( Springfield Ohio ) The Nextar was very easy to set up and use. Very user friendly. The only drawback was it is not very dash mountable.

dr1ft95 Don't get me wrong, this GPS is pretty sweet. Easy GUI, giant screen (just don't get pulled over becuase the officer thinks its a DVD screen), voice promts (ok, kind of quiet on the interstate), good POI lookups, all around good GPS. The only downside is the fact that the maps are slightly dated. I've looked and looked for an update to the 2009 maps and have been unsuccessful as of yet, I'll try and update. I would think it would be easy since you could just either update the files, or purchase a new Nextar flash card. Either way, it meets my needs, but could be better.
