We used the Europe Navigator card for our recent trip to Nice, France. It worked well, but it was not always correct in finding the smaller streets in the small villages of Provence. We had to rely on a map to ensure we were getting proper directions from our Garmin.
Very good!

I used it is Spain, and I have to admit that it is very good. The maps are very well updated, and even in the small streets of Valencia it was very accurate. However, it is not as well updated as the US maps are, so I can't give it 5 stars. For example, don't expect to find all the restaurants that you will look for, or don't expect to find all sightseeing places through Garmin. The oldest and most accurate way to get around is by asking. :)

My wife and I, like so many others, hesitated at spending several hundred dollars for the Europe maps. But after a 4 hour drive into London, where streets swerve crazily, roundabouts are numerous, and street name signs are non-existant, we quickly realized that this was a life saver.
br /
br /Later in our trip, we headed to Bath, England for our bed and breakfast location. Garmin and the maps took us right to the front door with just the postal code to guide us. The owners told us that no one before had a GPS that took them to their place. The other car that was meeting us there spent 1.75 hours trying to find their way around Bath to the location....and were so frazzled they never saw any of the city!
br /
br /If you go to Europe and wonder if the maps are worth it, believe me they are. Isn't arrival at your destination with you and your wife still happy worth $200??

I have only used this within the city of Sao Paulo, but it works! The only fault I've found is that, sometimes, it will bring you to the correct point in the road, but expect you to turn left to reach your destination, which is mostly not allowed on many majors roads ... requiring a sometimes lengthy detour.

I bought the SIM card with the maps for Italy for my Garmin nuvi GPS. We used the maps in Rome, Venice, and all around Tuscany including Florence, Montalcino and San Gimignano. They were remarkably accurate (even in pedestrian mode in Venice), and saved a ton of fighting! I would highly recommend this product for driving in Italy, even in rural areas such as Montalcino. Just be sure to set your GPS to allow U-turns and allow un-paved roads!

I used this on a recent trip to southern France. I thought it was fantastic and it completely won over my skeptical husband.

br /We travel a lot and normally rent a car. It has often taken us many hours (and many arguments!) to find our hotel. (One time in Rome, we gave up, turned in the rental car and took a taxi to the hotel!)
br /
br /On this trip, the Garmin found every hotel on the first try (4 hotels). It saved us a tremendous amount of time. Not only that, but it made us more adventurous. We had no fear about wasting time gettng lost so we visited lots of attractions we may have bypassed.

br /It was a risk because it was an expensive purchase, but it turned out to be worth every cent. I can't say it was 100% perfect, but it was darn close, so I am giving it a 5.

Review of SD Car, City Navigator Nt UK Ireland

Thanks for your feedback
We used this card in our Garmin during a recent 10 day trip to Ireland. We drove over 1400 miles and it kept us from getting lost numerous times. Our only criticisms are that, as tourists, it would have been nice to have directions to more attractions and that it tended to take us on very narrow roads when there was sometimes a much better road going to the same destination. After a few days, we routinely checked its directions against the map. It was, however, invaluable driving through cities and towns and I would definitely use it again.

This review refers to NT version 9 which I have used for 4 weeks in May/june 2007 to drive both in Spain as well as in Portugal. It was very useful so oriented myself in Madrid and surroundings, Lisboa, Porto, A Coruna, Leon, Burgos, Zaragoza, Huesca, Sevilla, Granada, Malaga, Marbella, Caceres, Merida, as well as other smaller town and cities. The historical monuments and attractions are clearly and easily identifiable. Satellite reception was arguably better than in the US since even in narrow streets with tall buildings there was a waypoint. The directions to reach sites of interest were equally easy to follow as a pedestrian as well as driving a car. I saved lots of time and effort and maximized my time and enjoyment during my trip. The down side was 1) the data base of hotels, restaurants, entertainment and other services etc is very poor or almost entirely inexistent (as opposed to the US city navigator wich is almost 100% complete) and 2) Poor resolution when traveling in major roads in the countryside. Overall it was extremely useful but obviously the information it gives you is not as complete as the US city navigator. I have not tried other brands therefore I can not give a comparative opinion, however.

We just used our Garmin Streetpilot C340 with the Europe maps for
br /two weeks. Our tour included the cities of Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris and Geneva. I would have been lost without our GPS. The major roads
br /and highways are generally well marked from city to city. Once you
br /go into the cities or looking for specific address this is the way to go.
br /I would never travel without a GPS. The maps were about as accurate as
br /the US maps and POI was good. The real joy is not to worry about looking
br /for street names or where to turn. Our only issue was in the city with narrow streets and loss of signal, but this happens in anywhere. Cost vs. peace of mind -- It's not cheap driving in Europe. Just program your locations and have fun touring Europe.

I'm currently in Schwienfurt, Germany and I wanted to put the card and the Garmin NUVI 350 to the test. I would drive to various towns in an "attempt" to get lost ( thats "guy speak" for I'm really lost, but won't admit it) and find my way back to the town and the place that I was staying. So, I would hook up the system and after a few errors(I made wrong turns just so I could get it to recalculate....right!) it got me out of the town and home. I would just add destinations, but had no real address and it got me there. I tried the other features and they worked to some degree. Reasturants were lacking. I think its best to ask people where to eat and rely on additional resources to identify attractions/sights to see, but over all this is a great addition. I didnn't have to do anything but slide the card in and I was ready to go. Worth what I paid.
br /One suggestion is to practice going short distances initially to get the feel of how it gives direction.

I purchased this sd card for a trip I had planned to Scotland. This little SD card was the best thing I bought for this trip. We spent 3 weeks driving around Scotland and it always got us to our chosen destination. If it hadnt been for this little card we would have never been able to see as much as we did. Having the GPS took allot of stress out of driving in a foreign country. I also used it in pedestrian mode while we were in edinburgh to get to places there. My husband and I would have never survived our trip still speaking to each other without this wonderful tool. If you are planning a trip and you will be driving just spend the money and enjoy your trip. It is the best money you will ever spend.

This little SD card saved our vacation. Typically we tend to rely on maps and self navigation, and it makes for a tense vacation when we're arguing over roads that aren't there, places that are impossible to find, etc. This time, we bought the SD card for my Garmin nuvi 660. This little gem got us to the most remote areas of southern England imaginable! Not one of our coastal locations was a problem to find. In one case, we stayed in a "town" that was literally three houses amid the moors. No road signs, one-lane roads, and no problem at all with this map! It's worth every cent. We found another retailer who sold it for much much less, but knowing what I know now, I'd not hesitate to pay what retailers here are asking for it!

I bought a Garmin Nuvi 260w as a portable device to take on a walking vacation in the UK. I bought the plug-in card with the Europe maps.
br /The GPS unit is marketed as a portable unit with auto, pedestrian and cycling set-up options. We were using it for hiking and I assumed the maps would be pre-loaded with the major walking trails and footpaths but it isn't.

I've never used a GPS unit before, but with a two-week driving trip to the UK coming up, I thought it would be a useful tool. I was wrong; it was an INDISPENSIBLE tool.

We have just returned from 2 weeks of driving in France. The European SD card with the Europe maps for our Nuvi 260 was the best travel investment we made. I was able to drive with the confidence that if lost I could count on the GPS (we nicknamed the voice Molly) to get us to our hotel or our goal that day. Also it made driving in Paris to return our car far less stressful. If you are driving in Europe I would strongly recommend one.

The City Navigator worked perfectly on our recent trip to Spain. It got every road right and found all the shortcuts. There are two issues: first, the navigator has a hard time distinguishing between the AutoVia main highways and the quaint, but ill-paved local roads. If it's shorter, it tells you to take the turnoff. Just ignore those tendencies and let it re-calculate a route on the good roads. Second, the pronounciation of the Spanish road names is quite funny. It took a while, but we figured out that "call" means Calle and the more complicated place names were undecipherable. All in all a wonderful product.

The Brazilian map is of no use. I live here and used it on approx. 1'000 miles.
br /a) In the city, streets are lacking, have outdated intersections, returns etc. And the map is constantly off some 100 ft.
br /b) On the countryside the situation is even worse: the location of the streets, cities, intersections is off by several miles. Existing streets are missing, streets on the map are inexistent.
br /Result in both cases: The routes created by the GPS device are simply wrong. The wrong position causes the device to constantly recalculate the route (as it sees itself never at the actual location) in another wrong way. As for the wrong maps: I "cruised" miles over the sea (in my car), on the other side, the ferry boat Salvador-Itaparica "drove" on land. Cities are on the wrong side of a river (imagine in a country where a bridge may be an issue of 100 miles and up!). If I had followed the routes calculated by Garmin, I would have had to dissemble the car: the only way to follow Garmin's route would have been by a canoe ferry.
br /Even as a compass it is unusable: E.G. In case you are driving west (miles south of the road shown on the map) and you are approaching a road coming from the south, getting closer to this "southern road" than your actual "western road", the device thinks that you are driving north on the "southern road". Confusing? Yes that's what it is all about. You are constantly busy thinking "what does it show, what could that mean?".
