Press Release Body: Bilingual System 'Habla Espanol' as well as English, Aiding
Drivers and Travelers in Both Countries

La Verne, CA - August 27, 2008 - Nextar, a designer and marketer of bold and new
consumer electronic products with mass appeal, has gotten behind the wheel in
helping drivers navigate in both the U.S. and Mexico. Its new M3-MX(TM) navigation
system provides not only detailed 2D and 3D maps of both countries, but also offers
all menus and voice prompts in English and Spanish. Having maps of both countries in
one 2GB SD card saves drivers the hassle of using two separate mapping systems in
two separate languages.

"The Nextar M3-MX navigation system is an excellent travel partner for both American
and Mexican drivers," remarked Eddy Zheng, Nextar founder. "Full color maps of both
the U.S. and Mexico along with bilingual vocal prompts and menus make traveling in
either country - whether a citizen or visitor - more convenient, safer and less
stressful."

The system features a generous 3.5" TFT touch-screen display that provides users
with large, clear, colorful images. A special automatic night mode feature provides
additional screen lighting for even easier-on-the-eye viewing. Voice-guided
directions with turn-by-turn voice prompts are given over the built-in stereo
speaker.

The new Nextar navigation system shows 1.6-million points of interest, including
hotels, shopping centers, gas stations, and restaurants. If the driver misses a
turn, the system will automatically recalculate a revised route. The unit may also
be used for walkers, as it provides pedestrian routes of up to six miles that are
not limited by vehicle constraints. Digital map data is supplied by NAVTEQ(R), the
preeminent provider of comprehensive digital map information for automotive
navigation systems.

Other features of the Nextar M3-MX includes up to 300 address storage capability for
favorite destinations, SD card slot for additional memory, over-the-speed limit
warning and 2D and 3D map-viewing modes. It also has the capability to play MP3
files and to display JPEG images. Power is supplied by a lightweight, built-in,
rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery.

Provided accessories include: AC/DC adapter, suction cup, USB cable, protection
pouch, SD card and a stylus/touch pen.

Pricing and Availability
The Nextar M3-MX navigation system is available at Walmart.com and other e-tailers
across the U.S. as well as on line at www.nextar.com. It has a MSRP of $199.99. It
comes with a manufacturer's one-year limited warranty.
