 Outsanding product October 6, 2008
The Nuvi 270 lives up to its reviews. The screen size is fine - don't really need the larger screen of the 370. The road map is unbelievably complete -- in our remote little town it even knows about the little road stub past the library curbside book return!! Voice prompts are quite audible, and come at the right times -- once after a turn to advise when the next turn will come, once when about 400 yards away from the turn, and then right at the turn. Touch pad is pretty easy to use, but when entering the PIN, if you get it wrong it locks you out until you either return to your home place, or disconnect the external power and power unit off and then on (I had to find that out the hard way). All in all I'm very pleased with it.
A great GPS October 3, 2008
The product was as described and came with all the bells and whistles. It was easy to install and very easy to use. The instruction manual was a little short on instructions but the unit helped you get all the items available to your notice
 Garmin Nuvi 270 October 2, 2008
I bought this model because the previous model did not come with the UK maps.The instructions sent to me by Garmin to load and update the new maps were complicated and unhelpful.
This model had accurate instructions and was helpful.Sometimes the route it chose was longer but the landmarks etc were precise.
I would recommend this to anyone who is traveling in the UK
Garmin nuvi 270 September 30, 2008
Great product right out of the box. The only extra piece of equipment needed is a micro usb cable so that one can register the product and receive updates via the computer/web site. Great price for a device that already comes loaded with European maps. Easy to mount, easy to hear over traffic or radio sound levels, quick to re-calculate if a turn is missed, and easy to enter addresses. The "points of interest" feature is invaluable for driving in new areas. LOVE IT!!
So Far....Great! September 30, 2008
I received the Garmin Nuvi 270 a day before a golf trip to Alabama. I have never owned a GPS device before, nor used one, so I was curious as to how difficult for a 50+year old, it would be to use right out of the box on unfamiliar roads....It turned out to be easy, intuitive and very useful. Installed on front glass, waited for the unit to download location/maps and went through the step by step prompts and was rewarded with good directions to our destination!!!! Any missteps along the way were quickly re-calculated by the unit. I am now looking forward to using it in Arizona next month and France next year....
My only requests to Garmin would be to eliminate a few programming steps, such as which country am I in, the unit knows where it is, and it's unlikely I would drive from this continent to Europe....if I want to go to Canada or Mexico, it could be determined by the state/province requested. Otherwise "great so far".
