Garmin is the best GPS hands down.

Nextar is a terrible GPS, no matter what kind you buy. I bought one with a 4.3 inch screen, it looked really nice, but once I attempted to operate it, there was nothing but flaws. I would type in several addresses and they wouldn't come up.

Then if I made a mistake typing and tried to backspace, it took several times to delete the letters or numbers. When I looked up stores nearby to where I live, such as Kohl's or WalMart, none came up in my area, either the store wouldn't show up at all or it would show up ways away. Even though I knew the location of the stores by me, they should have come up, a GPS should be able to locate the nearest convenience.

My biggest pet peeve is you cannot type in a state! What? It goes by cities not states. How pathetic. Nextar is a piece of junk. I took it back and bought a Garmin Nuvi 255wt and it's excellent. All the addresses I typed in came up, stores came up, states, and it tells you the speed limit of the road you're on. It also tells you street names, road names, how much gas you are using, etc. everything! My advice, buy a Garmin or a TomTom and don't waste your hard earned money on garbage.
