User Reviews about Nextar SNAP5 Super Slim 5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator

GPS units need to do one thing: get you from here to there. The Nextar 5 does that quite well, with some bonuses I didn't expect in the price range as well as a few negatives.

First, the positives: The screen is huge compared to my last GPS. It's easy to read from anywhere in the car (especially great for my kids in the back seat that like to watch where we are) although it can get washed out in direct sunlight - though that's par for the course. It's also got built in batteries that allow you to unplug it and use it on foot for a while, which is nice, and an AC adapter for use outside of the car, also a neat feature.

The directions are excellent, even catching a U-turn around an island near my office that most miss. Getting off course and then re-routing is also incredibly easy. It has both night and day modes, which I liked, as it dims the display down so as not to be distracting when driving after dark, and you can choose between multiple display modes to suit your personal preferences.

So it gives good directions, has a great, large screen, and looks good - what are the negatives? First of all, it takes longer than I think it ought to to start-up and load the navigation software. That may not bother most people, but I didn't like it. Worse though, the touchscreen is not consistently responsive, causing me to hit a selection once, wait a few seconds and hit it again, at which point it registers both hits and goes past where I want it to. If also found the POI settings a big non-intuitive - I found it took longer that I thought it ought to to figure out exactly how to display the specific items I wanted displayed at any given time. Finally, for some reason my unit will not auto-set the time; something my other GPS units have no problem doing. There's a setting to allow it, but it says it's unable to do so. And when I manually set it, it would forget what time zone I was in every time I turned it off, which made the clock off by 5 hours every time I turned it back on. Weirdly, this behavior just fixed itself recently, and it now at least remembers the time zone.

Most of these issues are picking nits though, and with the exception of the time zone issue, which has apparently fixed itself, none are deal-breakers. The core functionality of the Snap5 has been fantastic, and for that reason I'd recommend it as a good and budget conscious alternative to some of the other GPS units on the market. -- Great For The Money
The Nextar Snap5 GPS Navigator was a great investment at a great Price.I tested it out on a trip to visit Family which was a 125 mile round trip.It gave me not only the normal Freeway route but also shorter toll road routes as well.I also like the fact of multiple Language settings available and Male and Female voice options. There were a couple of times however that it was a bit slow down loading information.The slim body does not take up alot of my dashboard and the five inch screen is easy to see day or night. -- Money well Spent !!
Very simple to use, right out of the box just plug it into the cigarrette lighter adapter and it found a satellite within 30 seconds... easy to put in addresses, the navigation instructions are very clear.

Only bad point is sometimes when freeway exits have and East and West exit, it does not tell you which direction to go. Also, it's a little bit hard to figure out how to add multiple destinations.

Other than that, everything is great. Huge screen, easy to see... looks especially nice at night time. Driving through San Francisco is the best, the 3D mapping shows all the huge surrounding buildings. Friends impressed with it and it's features.

Now if I can only figure out how to add customized voices... -- pretty good
