Nextar X3i Portable 3.5" GPS with MP3 and 3 Interchangeable Face Plates $79.99 After Rebate

For anyone doing shopping for a GPS system for yourself or as a gift, Buy.com is selling the Nextar X3i GPS with three interchangeable faceplates for $94.99 right now. And for purchases made by October 15th, there's a $15.00 rebate bringing your final net price down to a low $79.99. That's about the lowest price I've seen to date on a basic GPS unit.

This unit includes an MP3 player so you can listen to your favorite music with it as well.

This Nextar has a 3.5 inch touch screen display, preloaded maps of 50 U.S. states (in 1GB SD card), 1.6 million points of interest and an address book to store up to 300 addresses. It does turn-by-turn prompts but doesn't have text-to-speech (it tells you where to turn but doesn't pronounce the name of the road). It has a speed alert capability, 2D or 3D map viewing, and Day and Night modes (Night mode features additional light on the screen for easier viewing).
