 GPS With European Maps |
| Review Date: August 23, 2007 |
| Reviewer: Lawrence Wong, |
| The Garmin GPS was a godsend on our trip to Europe. If you have ever driven into cities or small towns in Europe you will know how difficult it is to navigate, while trying to read foreign street signs, dodging motor scooters and bicylists, finding the right exit out of a around-about all the while being pushed along by the very aggressive drivers behind you. But with the GPS most of that stress goes away as you know when and where to turn and you drive through towns like a native. I was very impressed that even going through the miles long tunnels of the alps the GPS must be programmed to keep the unit tracking without a satellite signal because several minutes later coming out of the tunnel it still provides instructions. I purchased the pricier model 270 because of the factory installed European maps. If you purchased a GPS with only North America maps and had to load the European maps the cost of those maps would be another $250. It's less money to get the 270 or 370 with maps already loaded. The windshield mounting is excellent and worked well in the rental car. The Nuvi series GPS is convenient enough in size to be carried in the pocket for walking around the cities. But it does not work as well for pedestrian purposes because it cannot keep bearings well as you tend to rotate the device and it looses it sense of direction. I read all the reviews on GPS's and chose the Garmin because of it's higher ratings for search engine, ease of use and maps. You will immediately become an expert user even without reading instructions with this device. It is literally that easy to use. |
Nuvi 270 used in Italy
|
| Review Date: October 19, 2007 |
| Reviewer: Melissa Christensen, Grand Rapids, MI |
| I bought the Nuvi 270 for my 24 day trip to Italy. The unit is very user friendly for menus and visibilty. We used our Garmin in coordination with a TomTom 910 and our unit out mapped the TomTom every time. The mapping is great and points of interest are good, but rememeber that Italian locations are not always translated the same IE; "leaning tower of Pisa" is actually "tower pendentta. The other thing you never want to do is hit "shortest route" when in Italy!!! You will end up driving curvy mountain roads and maybe end up on a goat trail. We almost trippled our trip time by doing this one evening. So to end this, I highly recommend this unit if you are going to Europe and keep it when you come home, cause it has even better use on the US roads. |

| Reviewer: Rabin Moser, Rochester, NY United States |
| I own a Magellan Meridian Color GPS. I wrote a very negative review for this unit. It was a poor unit in its use of technology that existed at the time I bought it . Maps were inaccurate, incomplete and very restricted. Loading them to the GPS was a nightmare. Garmin Nuvi 270 is like a night and day different. It is very intuitive and in every respect near perfect. I travel a lot in Europe. I have been looking for a GPS I could buy here with European maps as well as US/Canada maps installed. I considered Tom Tom 910, but reviews I read discouraged me from buying one. G 270 is a basic unit that seems to do everything it is supposed to do well. It has a bright screen and sensitive reception. I love this unit. Having said all those nice things, I am disappointed that only charging capability that came with it is a car charger. I use my GPS in Europe for days without getting into my car. I quickly rectified this problem by ordering an AC charger at about $30 including shipping. If you need a GPS only for Europe, Garmin Nuvi 250 can be purchased in EU for 299 Euro. When you get your VAT back, it would be about $350. I opted to get 270 for another $110 to cover both sides of the pond. I have no regrets. |
No More Maps of Europe for Me! Nuvi 270 Gets 5 Stars!

| Review Date: November 1, 2007 |
| Reviewer: E. Fayard, |
I recently went to Scotland, Ireland and England for 2 weeks. Normally, I would have gone through the trouble of printing maps off of Google however, I decided to purchase a 270 instead. Amazingly Amazon was the best deal out there. I orderered the GPS, a charging cable and a bean bag type mounting kit. If you are planning on using this in rental cars, the garmin bean bag mount is the way to go. It packs flat when you remove the stand and never slid from its spot on my dash!
So, how were the maps? To tell you the truth, I was a little apprehensive to buy a Nuvi because I had such a good experience on my last trip to the UK when my rental car came equipped with a TomTom. The nuvi 270 work like a charm and also has maps of the USA to boot!
I highly recommend this unit, it's not much larger than a deck of cards and I pack it in my laptop case when I travel so I always have it handy! |

| Review Date: October 9, 2007 |
| Reviewer: Frank C. Gesualdo Jr., Huntington, NY United States |
With a two week drive adventure across Italy and with somewhat limited language skills, we realized we needed help. The Garmin Nuvi 270 saved my trip, my sanity, and my marriage. Some of our destinations were well off the tourist maps and the Nuvi 270 performed almost flawlessly. Almost, since somewhere south of Ravenna, it put us on a dirt road that was just the width of our car and 30' above the surrounding farm land! We drove 8KM praying we didn't meet another car coming in the other direction. We didn't ...I think the locals know better.
The battery power and portability made it handy for the walking parts of our tour also, but because of walking speed it didn't perform as well as it did in the car. It was also tremendously helpful in planning itinerary as it calculated time between points.
If you're traveling in unknown territory, especially in Europe, this unit is a must have. |

| Reviewer: R. Messmore, |
| A fantastic unit - the size of a deck of cards, with both North America and Europe loaded and ready to go. You'll wonder how they got all the info into one small package! And it's fast, responding and answering questions quickly. Best of all it's got a setting for "car" or "walking" so you can use it for city walking tours as we did on vacation. The beanbag car mount lets us move it from car to car (even a rental car) and then slip it into your shirt pocket when checking out a new city. Really an amazing unit for the price. |
HIGHLY RECOMMEND

| Review Date: November 22, 2007 |
| Reviewer: Lynne Grubb, |
| I was looking for a GPS navigator for an up and coming trip to Europe when my brother-in-law recommended the 270. Whether driving to Normandy from Paris or walking through the streets of Prague; this was my constant, reliable companion..I love the currency conversion,world clock,weight conversion,POIs and ability to save favorites..all helpful features. I have since used it whenever traveling at home and am always impressed by the reliability. I am sure if more people realized the advantage of North American and European maps packaged in one small device..this would be THE pocket navigator on everyones wish list. So glad I have mine! |
