Very good:
I am very happy with it, easy to install it, no problems, At now I have no tested in really life but im planning a trip and I Will do it, I think it will be a great product as his "twin" City Navigator North America, the same kind of info and tools (routes, POI, Details) Note : This DVD provides more than 2GB info, and you can't store it in the same card, the Garmin 60 CSX only accepts 2GB in the same card, don't pretend to buy a 4 GB card in order to store all the data, instead of that, prior your trip, select the regions you will need.


Garmin Mapsource City Navigator:
My family and I recently went to visit my daughter who lives in Austria. We used our Garmin 550 and the recently purchased downloaded CD map information. We put the maps on an SD card rather than load up the unit itself. The directions from Munich Airport to her home in Austria were wonderful and got us there without a glitch. We had been awake for 42 hours by the time we arrived and were glad we did not need to try to follow paper maps in the car while enroute. However, there was one glitch. We decided to drive one day from her home in Austria to Chesky Krumlov, a small and beautiful are in the Czech Republic. Evidently I had forgotten to change my unit from the shortest route to whatever would have gotten us there via a BETTER route! We traveled for miles and miles over twisting and turning roads (unlike the route we had taken a few years ago without the GPS),through areas which we had never seen before (interesting and beautiful but not when you only have so much time. At last our GPS unit announced we were arriving at a ferry!! Only there was no ferry operating. Perhaps during the summer season there is, but the unit did not tell us that! We then had to back track for miles, again over hilly and winding terrain while the unit did some "recalculating", again traveling up and down roads that resembled a corkscrew. We eventually came upon the route which we had traveled a few years ago (pre GPS days) and were more than happy to finally reach our destination at noon. We did not use the unit for the return trip back to my daughter's as we were sure it would again head us towards the ferry! At the end of our vacation, we used the GPS European maps and they got us back to the Munich airport wihout any problems. I am not sure how to avoid errors such at the one which took us to the ferry, but I would again use this CD to get us to destinations on future trips, perhaps checking a paper map along the way as well!


Easy to Use:
Great product...would recommend to anyone with a Garmin going over to Europe. I installed it on my computer and found it very easy to use and being able to select the actual area I wanted was nice because it saved TONS of memory space on my GPS.


Very Accurate Great Technology Sound Information:
A finding, so good, I was short on selling my nuvi 200W, just called to garmin's customer service, good advice, great product, no regrets.


Garmin is the best:
Dont travel to Europe without it. I drove in the past without GPS and its way to stressful. They all have quirks but not many with a Garmin NUVI
