GPS across GermanyAugust 16, 2009 smokey(Ohio) 7 out of 7 found this review helpful
Bought Nuvi 270 specifically for trip through Germany. Drove 1700km using it for primary navigation with map backup. I have experience using GPS by tom tom and Navman for road travel in North America. This unit is nice and compact but feels solidly built. It captured signal and location quickly. Data base was quite complete with country roads that see as much tractor traffic as cars present. Display and user interface as good as or beter than the other 2 units I use. One map glitch where it showed a traffic circle and there was none - big deal. 2 hard to interpret situations misled me but rerouted pretty well. 1 comic situation when it gave us about 540 degrees of turn lefts in a row. I don't speak German and this unit made driving much easier than last trip 6 years ago. Helps alot if you know specific addresses of your destinations or at least postal code.
good european maps at bargain priceSeptember 7, 2009 nopotato 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
i recently used this garmin in london, where in fact it is even more accurate in road selection than in the new york area. It has speed camera locations in addition in england, an added bonus. it does not have text to speech (so i deduct a star) , but at this price u r getting 2 continents of maps for free!

Out of box ready to rumble ... this little gem fit in my shirt pocket. Awesome can't wait to try it in Italy next year. Don't be put off by factory refurbished .. might be better than new with factory software updates.

Works well enough, but not perfectly, I would recommend it as a very good value. BW
Great value and very useful.October 26, 2009 Lyle OLeary(Katy, TX USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought this GPS for a trip to UK and Ireland. It was very useful as driving there is quite different than the USA. The one thing that was sort of annoying (but not the GPS' fault) is that the GPS would say to "turn right on York street" - well good luck in trying to find a street sign - they are rare and typically posted on the wall of a building. However, when the GPS said to turn, you'd better turn - we didn't have any wrong turns. The GPS also warns of speed camera zones and speed cameras - could be a money saver! Also, when you rent a car, make sure the cigarette lighter works - ours didn't on one of the cars and it was inconvenient for periods of time - again, no fault of the GPS. Highly recommend if you're on a budget and don't need the gadgets on the higher priced ones.
