this actually works at least for my nextar m3-01 model
1)connect the gps to PC with Microsoft ActiveSync
2)back up and edit the auto run file found in resident flash to read (WINDOWS\windowsexplorer.exe) doing this will make the gps run windows ce 5
3)Once windows is running windows instead of the gps program that comes installed which by the way you can still access from windows, you can now also run other programs like video players, games and such.
your wellcome
P.S now if i could just find someone to hook me up with a sdhc patch for memry card 4gb and up for this thing I'd be set.
PPS. For Nextar Q4-06 (Windows CE Core 5.0) the file name is just 'explorer' so my \ResidentFlash\autorun.inf file reads 'WINDOWS\explorer.exe'. I was able to edit it by:
1) Connect with ActiveSync
2) Copy & Paste \ResidentFlash\autorun.inf from the Nextar Device to my computer
3) Edit the copied autorun.inf file with Notebook to read 'WINDOWS\explorer.exe' (no quotes).
4) Rename the original \ResidentFlash\autorun.inf on the Nextar Device to \ResidentFlash\0autorun.inf
5) Copy & Paste the edited autorun.inf file from my computer back to the Nextar device (as \ResidentFlash\autorun.inf).
6) Disconnect the Nextar, flip the rear switch to off/reset, then back on.
7) My GPS file can be run as MyDevice-> \ResidentFlash\DShell\DShell.exe

Well normally you would have to download an app. I suggest an app called "Titan" It does ask you where it wants you to put you're music, I also suggest you put it in your Google play in the music area.
After searching amazon I found the Nextar C3 3.5-Inch GPS was labeled the best on the market. There aren't many differences between GPS systems to be honest, it's all about preference.

love you my mp3 I have the Nextar Navigator V7. I just down loaded microsofts activesync software 4.5 and I was able to transfer music from my computer to my Nextar GPS. Just google the software and download; it's free. Then copy your MP3 files from your PC to your GPS by putting them in ResidentFlash/MobileNavigator folder found after you synchronize the GPS and PC. Good luck.... Nextar is really bad as far as helping customers out with problems.
