 Inexpensive option for European traveler May 8, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I travel in Europe as part of my job. Historically, I have always used maps. I purchased this Garmin as an option and tried it last time there (Germany, Belgium and Lux). I chose this one as it has the European maps already loaded. My daughter has another Garmin with more options and it is easier to use while driving, but I ended up loving this unit. I preloaded a number of my locations prior to departing the US and added them to my favorites. Even locations that are not on the POI list can be added by identifying them using Long/Lat coordinates (I used Google Earth to find the coordinates and then located them on the maps using the coordinate option - worked excellently, by the way). The unit itself is simple to operate and fairly user friendly (I am a male and therefore don't generally read the manual). One option that I think would be great to add is a volume knob on the side like my daughter's. As it is now, you have to change the volume via software. The touchscreen works well. I would definetly purchase this again if needed.

Works great in the US, a big waste of time in France. In France, it didn't work at all. Wasted my time sending me in circles.
 Great Size But No Way to Plot Before You Go! April 5, 2008
8 out of 10 found this review helpful
I just bought my 270 for a planned European excursion this summer and next. While it has no documentation, it seems fairly easy to use. Since I haven't gone yet, I'm unclear how it will perform in Europe BUT I already have a major gripe that it has no way (as far as I can tell, and the enclosed documentation gave no help) to plan routes before you arrive in Europe. I was trying to plan distances from hotels and restaurants, to museums and cities, and while you can see a detailed map of these foreign locales, there is no way of plotting a route!!! I cannot find a way of entering a starting point!!! This is pathetic!!! Even Yahoo Maps on my Blackberry World can do this. This is a major need to travelers that has been missed by Garmin on this device.

This unit makes traveling in either Europe or North America much simpler. I highly recommend it.
Best vacation investment! March 5, 2008

I had always wanted a GPS and before we went on our recent trip to Europe I saw the price for the Nuvi 270 (which included the maps of Europe) and I decided to take the plunge. I'm am SOOO glad that I did!!! Upon leaving the airport in Frankfurt it gave us perfect directions to find my Aunt's home. After that the only time we got lost is when we'd either take it out of the car too soon or not have it on. We learned quickly not to do that. This guided us through Germany, into France and to Brugge and back without any problems (although when we went into France from Germany it definitely picked the 'out of the way' route... pretty though! ;-).
I seriously couldn't recommend it more highly. Sometimes it might not pick the same route a native might, but you always get where you want to go (and you don't have to worry about missing signs!).
