“For any GPS device to be useful 100% of the time, it needs to have
the very latest information,” said Eddy Zheng, Nextar founder. “Nothing
frustrates a driver more than being provided wrong or outdated
directions. Nextar is pleased to offer users of many of our most popular
GPS units the opportunity to easily update their systems and have the
most accurate, current information right at their fingertips.”
Installing the updated maps does not require a computer or internet

download the card’s contents. Updated maps are available for the following
