Nextar Q4-04 GPS

In a Tech Tuesday column for KOLD News 13 Live This Morning, Andy reviewed the Nextar Q4-04 - 4.3" Navigation System.

"...4.3 inch display...A built in speaker to the rear...A map of the 50 U.S. States is included on a 2GB SD Card which must be installed to navigate...

"...The Battery Life on the Q4-04 will give users about 2 and a half hours of use with a fully charged battery...and can be recharged fully after about 3 and a half hours. A USB cable, Wall Charger and Car charger is included..."

The only way to know the status of the charge is to turn the unit on; there is no external indicator of the status of the battery.

"...included mounting cradle which can then attach with a snap in to a rubber glass connector mounting bracket or dashboard mount disc attached to the mounting bracket...a nice mesh pouch is included to protect the unit...

"...A slide On Off switch at the back of the unit...the ability to play MP3 and WMA audio off a SD card as well as a photo slide show off an SD Card...A headphone jack...pricing at under $150..."

A stylus that slips into the body of the unit is included...but it would fall out of the unit we had.

I wish it had a "notepad" function so I could use the stylus to make notes.
