Mine is an Model M3-03 & I am not sure of the differences, so I thought I’d put my review here.
I had originally bought a Tom Tom after much research on Text to Speech vs. the Basic GPS that says Turn here & you pass the street after hearing. However we returned it due to Price drops at the Holidays, but didn’t get another until now.
I’m very happy with the put off, because this product does what the Tom Tom did and more. Another nice thing about the Nextar is the removable SD memory Card with the Map Data on it, but there is Room enough for MP3 Music & Pictures. It even has an Adjustable Speed Alert Function which helps a Lead Foot out like me.
I really like that it tells you haow far your turn is & what Street name your Turning on. It then tells you again at between 500 to 900 feet and then again at the street. Of course if you do not like that much detail you can change it in the settings.
I agree with another reviewer that real maps are invaluable and that when lost and far from home at night or in a Storm, this thing will get you Home Safely.
The Stylis could have come with a holder, but a retracted pen or Eraser works fine. You can bye thin sticker covers to protect the surface as well.
I am very happy with the purchase

Bought one of these at Kohl’s last week for $88. I was skeptical because I haven’t researched these and thought the way to go was a Tom-Tom or Garmin. My wife had it in her cart and when I saw it had text to speech written on the box I thought we’d try it.
After testing it for a week and reading about features on more expensive units, this one holds up very well. Works perfectly so far!
I’m giving it 5 stars to counter the low rating of the previous reviewer. He praised it and then only gave it one star. I don’t understand that at all.”
