Happy Holidays

It seems that the firmware is corrupted. Please have it rinstalled from the service center of the brand.

Because the Nextar has built in maps this does make it extremely difficult to change. When these devices were brought out the company wanted them to stay fixed to one location and they did this by permanently writing the map data to eprom. There are ways you can "modify" your device however this is not legal unless you own the original software that is used to "modify" the device. It is also risky as you can render your device unusable if things go wrong.

Sorry that I cannot be of more help but this is just one of those quirky little devices that the company really didn't want being used outside of its map area.

Thank you for using FixYa

Hi! Have you tried to linking the unit to the pc? Hope to know more... THanks!

First, press the "Reset" button or push the stylus into the "Reset" hole, to see if the navigation software can load successfully. If the program still does not load, then the software may be corrupted. Also, if the internal memory fails to read or write and the software cannot load properly, it may be caused by hardware failure. In either case, please return the unit for exchange or repair to the retail location from which you purchased it, or contact us for further assistance.

In that case just buy a new one - you didn't said the exact model so for a better compatibility use one that is 2 GB or smaller. Then all you have to do is to put it in your unit to be configured by it and it's as good as new.

Since the operating system and navigation software are preloaded into the internal flash memory of the GPS, the freezing may either be software or hardware failure.

please let me know if you need further informnation.

Try plugging it into your car with the AC Adapter. I just bought one too and had a problem getting it to do anything until I charged the battery and then everything worked great. Hope it works out for you.

I HAVE A NEXTAR GPS SYSTEM AND IT KEEPS SAYING WAITING FOR A SIGNAL I RESET IT AND IT IS STILL DOING THE SAME THING.

First connect the GPS to your computer using the cable that came with it. Then see if it gets charged from computer and stops giving the problem. If it does work fine, then you know that car charger has issues or the car plug isnt giving right output.
