 Great device! August 16, 2008

Works wonderfully except in tight places where the traffic is awful- no fault of the navigator though. We loved it in England and Ireland. It even backroaded with only a few mistakes which could have been our fault in programming. Very helpful on roundabouts!
Absolutely great in Germany August 12, 2008

I used my Garmen in centeral and northern germany this summer and could not have asked for anything better it found all locations I asked for and listed all roads. It found places to eat and gas stations and hotels. Absolutely fantastic
 What you'd expect from a GPS August 8, 2008

first i have an older Garmin i5 GPS. it was smaller in screen size, but bulky and you had to rotate a dial to spell addresses out, etc. that was really crummy. but the nice thing about it is that it could acquire the satellites very quickly -- perhaps within about 30 seconds. the Nuvi 270 is slow to acquire satellites. i regularly drive about 2 minutes before it finally figures out where i am to give me directions. if i know i am going to be using it i guess i should turn it on before i start the car if i really don't know which way to go from my starting point.
that being said, everything else is really, really well done. you can type right on the screen and you can do it while driving. i purchased the weighted stand for keeping it on the dash and the combo can't be beat. we're off to Europe for a few months soon so i'll likely have more to add to this review once i've tried this GPS from Italy to Amsterdam.
 Make sure you buy a USB connector August 8, 2008

I have only used the 270 a few days in the US, and it seems to work as advertised. They only suggestion is that you also purchase a necessary USB cable for the unit. Without it, you can't register it online, and receive any updated software. This is something that was missing in the Amazon description and needs to be added.

Great product, the Garmin Nuvi 270. Took a trip from Boston to Labrador City, Labrador and it was very helpful. Able to find distance to gas, food, lodging plus gave phone numbers to contact lodging in advance. Took a side trip to Boothbay Harbor, ME on the way back and was able to find lodging and restaurant openings in high season by calling ahead with info from Nuvi. Plan to use it in Europe in October to do the same things. Great to have map, directions, info on North America and Europe in one package under $300.
