Summary: Plug and don't get lost
Comment: The Garmin City Navigator SD data card for Europe was an excellent addition to my garmin. The maps were up to date and I had no problem navigating around Germany using the Data Card. Great buy!!

Summary: nuvi 260 GPS europe map very helpful
Comment: We have just returned from 2 weeks of driving in France. The European SD card with the Europe maps for our Nuvi 260 was the best travel investment we made. I was able to drive with the confidence that if lost I could count on the GPS (we nicknamed the voice Molly) to get us to our hotel or our goal that day. Also it made driving in Paris to return our car far less stressful. If you are driving in Europe I would strongly recommend one. They were offered with our rental car for an extra $20 a day so the investment in our own was worth it.

Summary: Not Very Useful if You're Walking
Comment: I bought a Garmin Nuvi 260w as a portable device to take on a walking vacation in the UK. I bought the plug-in card with the Europe maps.
The GPS unit is marketed as a portable unit with auto, pedestrian and cycling set-up options. We were using it for hiking and I assumed the maps would be pre-loaded with the major walking trails and footpaths but it isn't. If you're walking in the UK, you'd be better off with an ordnance survey map which shows the official footpaths.

Summary: worked in Germany
Comment: Was very useful Germany. It guided us around roundabouts, and even had tiny one lane farm roads in it. Was not entirely up to date but that didn't cause any problems. Can set the Garmin to "pedestrian" to use in the city.

Summary: Of no use in Brazil
Comment: The Brazilian map is of no use. I live here and used it on approx. 1'000 miles.
a) In the city, streets are lacking, have outdated intersections, returns etc. And the map is constantly off some 100 ft.
b) On the countryside the situation is even worse: the location of the streets, cities, intersections is off by several miles. Existing streets are missing, streets on the map are inexistent.
Result in both cases: The routes created by the GPS device are simply wrong. The wrong position causes the device to constantly recalculate the route (as it sees itself never at the actual location) in another wrong way. As for the wrong maps: I "cruised" miles over the sea (in my car), on the other side, the ferry boat Salvador-Itaparica "drove" on land. Cities are on the wrong side of a river (imagine in a country where a bridge may be an issue of 100 miles and up!). If I had followed the routes calculated by Garmin, I would have had to dissemble the car: the only way to follow Garmin's route would have been by a canoe ferry.
Even as a compass it is unusable: E.G. In case you are driving west (miles south of the road shown on the map) and you are approaching a road coming from the south, getting closer to this "southern road" than your actual "western road", the device thinks that you are driving north on the "southern road". Confusing? Yes that's what it is all about. You are constantly busy thinking "what does it show, what could that mean?".
Don't waste your time!
