I would not buy another travel data card. It is not very useful and not well integrated into the regular GPS function. It was a waste of money.

... but not this time. This is a very expensive and embarrassingly deficient collection of out of date information, and very extensive areas of the United States are simply unmentioned.

Try getting your money back after it fails. A dark screen after loading the SD card. Called Garmin, placed on hold for 20 minutes, was told that it doesn't work unless the unit picks up the satellites in Europe. So, who do you call with a dark screen in downtown Strausbourg and won't be home until the return date has lapsed? AMAZINGLY, I was also told that the software has no maps (that cost another $300). This Travel Guide is nothing more than a glorified electronic tour book that you can pick up for $20 in hardcopy and with real maps! They call this dumming up.

Garmin and Fodors should be ashamed of this product. The coverage is absurd. In Washington D.C. I looked for a restaurant near my current location. Nada, but I was surrounded by a wide variety of places to eat, some of them very highly rated by local media. This guide wanted me to go most of the way across town, an expensive cab ride, to a neighborhood that I was advised wasn't very safe. You're better off to Google the city before you visit and take along a few pages of printouts. Do not waste your money on this piece of garbage.
 An Excellent Product for the Business Traveler March 24, 2008

I have used this product for over a year and I am very happy with it. It may not be the best program for vacationers as one might require more details for a pleasure trip. However, for business travel this gives me what I need to know:
* The most popular restaurants and the price range of each
* Hotels situated in the major downtown and business areas
* Bars and other places for nightlife and entertainment
* Major points of interest
* General information about the city in question
Many of the reviews concerning this product complain about the lack of coverage. In smaller cities (and I spend time in them as well) the options for dining and entertainment are not as imposing as they are in, for instance, Chicago, Philadelphia, San Francisco, New York, Houston, Seattle, etc. I have used this guide in all of those cities plus many more and I have been very pleased with the information that it provides. I highly recommend it for those who require quick and reliable guidance while traveling for business.
