This review is from: Nextar I4BC 4.3-Inch Portable GPS Navigator with Back-up Camera (Electronics)

Great GPS and a bonus rear view camera (color)... GPS function is easy to program and works great. Rearview camera needs to be adjusted to view as close to the rear bumper as possible... Had to make a special bracket to accomplish this.... now in my van I see 1 feet behind the rear bumper... I would recgomend this GPS and rearview camera to any one that has a VAN... Will be buying a second camera for use on my car....

I should of known it was too good to be true. This product, and the so-called help from the manufacturer is a joke. I can't get my money back for this sub-standard product, but I can sure write a review that will maybe save someone elses hard earned money. The back-up camera was the first thing that didn't work. Had a person that installs them for a living try to install it, and even HE couldn't get it to work! The company REFUSED to replace the camera! The GPS system itself, is completely outdated in regards to the maps. Fifty percent of the addresses that I try to enter will not work, no matter HOW they are entered. NO SUCH ADDRESS, is the usual response. And go on their website and look for the the map update it promises you will be available in the product brochures, good luck finding that! No updates, and NO reason why. Save your money, buy AMYTHING but products by NEXTAR. Never again!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad if you can find a bargin price, October 13, 2008

This review is from: Nextar I4BC 4.3-Inch Portable GPS Navigator with Back-up Camera (Electronics)

This is not a bad unit, on par with my Verizon Navigator that I had on my phone but without the $10 service charge and air time that I had to pay Verizon. Don't fall for the back-up camera, it's only a gimmick especially if you live in the north where you get some chilly fall nights that mix with the heat of the day and causes condensation on the camera lens, or if your like me and wash the vehicle alot. The Condensation renders the camera completely useless. I'm going to try to dry it out with a hair dryer and see what happens. Also the antena causes some problems, once in awhile you get static, (picture noise) but that only happens very seldom since initial installation, it has pretty much corrected itself with more use, it could be a problem caused by the condensation. The installation was not a problem because it was done professionally and all the splices where soldered to insure good contact.

As the title says, if you can find it at a bargin price, it's a good deal but if you can find a better unit at the same price without the back-up camera and more features then I would go with that unit instead.
