"The Nextar Q4-MD with MSN Direct is the perfect prescription to provide drivers
with the latest traffic conditions, weather reports, and other vital information,"
stated Eddy Zheng, Nextar founder. "Now, users not only have access to maps and
directions for the entire United States and Canada, but also a wealth of other
information to make their in-car time less harried and more enjoyable."

With the inclusion of MSN Direct, the Q4-MD not only gets users to their destination
via the quickest, easiest route, but also provides a unique resource to a wide-range
of information. MSN Direct expands navigation systems by offering relevant, timely,
location-specific information.

With MSN Direct, the Q4-MD provides drivers with essential, up-to-the-minute traffic
reports, current and three-day weather conditions for a local area or nationally,

Direct can look up box office times for current movies playing at local theaters and
get you information on the latest sports events, music concerts and more.
