I originally puchased the Nextar from CT but it didn't have detailed maps of the USA. (*only base maps of the major highways only!)The thing is a "Be-Hemouth" the mount is substancial but I had to rest it on the dash because it bounced and wiggled so much the 7" screen was difficult to look at.
(* I think they now have that rectified - they also offer a smaller unit 3")

I returned it and purchased the totally sweet Magellan Road mate *300r.(Wal-Mart)
It comes with detailed map of Canada For $200.00 I spent through thier online sales upgraded the unit with an SD card loaded with Canada & USA on the one card.

* Discontinued May 2006, but Magellan still supports the unit.

I found the unit works very well, however when there are more than 3 merge lanes clustered together the slight lag time can mean missing that turn but the recalibration for route changes is sweet.

The problem of time lag can be reduced by their external antena, ($19.00)
