Today’s portable navigation systems have more features than ever to help get you from point A to point B quickly and safely. Some of these features may include text-to-speech, spoken street names, and points-of-interest search ability. Many of the navigation devices we have seen come with a large screen and if mounted on your dash can become more of a hazard to the driver. Now, we have an awesome GPS device that will give you map information and you won’t have to worry about removing it when it’s not in use.

The Nextar Z3 is a 3.5” Portable GPS system that is mounted to your dash for easy visibility. This unique navigation system has text-to-speech, 3D Map view, and 6 million points-of-interest. The text-to-speech option pronounces street names and instructions while driving. This is helpful since you do not have to take your eyes off the road to look at your route. The 3D Junction view provides the user with lane level guidance and an image of the approaching intersection. Traffic lane guidance informs the driver of which lane they should be in at any given time for a freeway exit or necessary turn. The Z3 comes with a pre-loaded SD Card with maps of the USA and Canada, with over 6 million points-of-interest. You will never have to worry again when leaving on a road trip since you will always be able to find hotels, gas stations and restaurants. Finding a nice hotel and your-soon-to-be favorite restaurant isn’t all this navigation can find. When visiting friends or relatives in other cities or states, shopping is going to be inevitable and this compact device can show you were to go. Don’t forget when going on a trip, to look at your trip information when you arrive at the location. This will inform you of your average speed, distance traveled and keep track of your mileage.

Have you ever missed a turn or exit with the GPS device you’re using now? The Z3 automatically recalculates the route if you miss either one. So instead of back-tracking, it will provide you with updated information on how to get to your original destination. The Nextar Z3 is a reliable, portable navigation system sure to meet anyone’s needs when it comes to size, map coverage and ease of use.
