Safer than trying to read maps while you drive, and much more comfortable than being unsure of where you are and how to get where you want to go, the Jensen NVX225 3.5-Inch touch-screen Portable Navigation vehicle navigator helps you get where you are going in the quickest, most convenient way possible.

The Jensen NVX225 utilizes a crystal-clear, brilliant full-color, 3.5-inch touch-screen display to show you at a glance where you are, and where you need to go. This unit provides you with turn-by-turn voice prompts, in selectable female and male voices, that let you know in advance where you need to turn without you having to ever take your eyes off the road. The NVX225 features route calculation based on user-input preferences, with automatic re-routing when you deviate from your planned route, whether it is by accident, or by choice. This navigator also features over three-million POIs (Points of Interest) so you can easily find what you need wherever you are at, as well as displaying your estimated time of arrival, distance left to travel, time left to go, and miles per hour, all of which is calculated automatically.

Jensen's NVX225 portable navigator has a built-in SiRF Star III GPS receiver for the ultimate in accuracy, and comes fully embedded with complete maps for the United States, as well as including a CD with maps of Canada. This unit has an internal, 1 GB flash memory drive for downloading additional maps or POIs, and a secure digital card slot for expandable memory options. The NVX225 runs on a rechargeable, lithium-ion battery for the longest possible run time and no-memory effect, and comes with a USB cable for both fast data transfers and recharging your battery. The Jensen NVX225 touch-screen navigator includes a cradle that features a built-in speaker, and comes with an easy-to-use windshield mounting bracket and a 12-volt car power adapter. This Jensen navigation system also comes with a handy carrying case to protect your investment between trips, and is backed by a manufacturer's one-year warranty.

Very easy to use and understand. Never have used a car navigation system before and found it straight forward. Love that it has voice prompts and you can see how long it will take you to get from point A to B. Can create an itinerary, maps of Canada are good. Points of Interests are common and current. Very Handy little device! Recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice for the price, March 25, 2008

This review is from: Jensen NVX-225 Sport GPS (Electronics)

I have found this GPS very easy to use and very reliable. It will acquire enough satellites for tracking while in my kitchen without a view to the sky. The voice prompts are very clear and helpful with a choice of male or female voices. The windshield mount is solid and holds well. Also included is an adhesive disk to use with the suction cup mount for dash mounting in those areas where windshield mounts are prohibited. Sometimes the local routes it chooses wouldn't be my choice, but it will get you there and route recalculation is very quick. I would recommend this unit.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't Waste Your Money on 5-Year-Old Maps, June 7, 2009

By 

John Smith "John" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Jensen NVX-225 Sport GPS (Electronics)

The maps on this unit are from 2004 and 2005. There is no update available for them. Consequently the GPS is constantly showing your position in the middle of a farm field or telling you to drive off a cliff. The Canadian maps are all off by at least 1000 yards, so even when you're on an existing road it doesn't know where you are. The manufacturer has been promising an update since 2007 and it has not and most likely will not ever show up. So unless you have money you want to throw away, don't even think about buying this item. 0 stars!
