Nextar C3 - $149 at Amazon

The Nexar C3 GPS is a definite bargain at $149, which is about the cheapest GPS on the market. Maybe not the best, but definitely inexpensive. The unit offers 3.5-inch screen, which is a standard size for most GPS systems. The unit offers verbal turn cues, and maps of the US. With 1.6 million Points of interest (POI) the Nextar C3 is a little lean on places to navigate to, but it will fill in the gaps if that’s not your main focus. The Nextar C3 does have SiRF star III chipset for a solid lock on satellites.

The Nextar C3 includes mounting cradle, suction cup mounting bracket, dashboard mounting disk, remote control, DC adapter, AC adapter, USB Cable, and convenient carrying pouch. If absolute value is the name of the game, try out the Nextar. If you want to spend jus a bit more, the TomTom ONE 2nd Edition is on sale at Amazon for around $199 as they run out the inventory. The TomTom is not perfect either, but it is a high quality entry level navigation device.

Update: I posted my Full Review of the Nextar C-3, and I can't recommend it; consider a Mio, or if you can afford it a TomTom or Garmin. Specifically, check out a full list of my reviews and see the entry level units there.
