Plug & play Euro card for the Nuvi 350/360

I bought the Navigator Europe card based upon the reviews of the European Nuvi unit. We used the card for 30 days and I was not dissappointed. Its hard to imagine that maps of Western Europe could be placed on a small data card. We drove through...

Plug and Play -- no need of a computer. No downloading required. Maps were accurate. Maps included hotels, museums, historical sites, gas stations, etc

The Nuvi 350 did not cue street name but did list them on the screen

great way to get around Europe

We live in Europe but bought our GPS in the US because it's cheaper, added the Europe city maps so we could use it here. It's been extremely helpful and accurate so far, we're very pleased with it! We've used it mainly for driving but have also used it...

Way too expensive but worth every penny

Way way too expensive but worth every penny when walking and trying not to get lost in the back streets of London, Rome and Athens while guilding my directionally challenged wife. Nothing beats a hand held Garmin GPS with a great city map in a foreign...

Very Good!

Very good product. I've made several trips around Germany on a motorcycle with a Garmin GPS 60c. The maps have been accurate and took me right where I wanted to go.
