I have a Nextar X3-03. You DO need the maps on an SD card. If you want
to mail me your SD card, I'll copy the map files. No assurances of it
working of course, but what can it hurt? BTW, Nextar is a **** GPS. Only
thing mine does well is tell me within a car length or two if I'm off
route on city streets.
NO map updates from Nextar. And worst of all, since I use mine a lot for
yard sales, it takes up to 5 minutes these days to get a decent lock on
the satellites. Even then, it'll biff and lose signal off and on for up
to another 15-20 minutes. But for a freebie, hell, go for it.
I'm pretty sure you know your way around Taft well enough you don't need
it, and if yours shows the same problem mine does, it should finally
have itself sorted out by the time you reach an area you need it.

The one I have isn't even any good for telling me if I'm off route.
Only thing it's good for is a moving map, telling me where I am. Dead
accurate at that task, even if it doesn't have a clue where half the
roads in Canada are.
