1.0 out of 5 stars Had me riding and walking in circles, July 31, 2010

Unfortunately the EuropeNT Citimaps version of the Garmin Micro-SD did not live up to it's North American counterpart. Although I have not encountered problems with the latter, this chip either had "bugs" or just wasn't capturing and interpreting the satellite signals correctly. I tried it in Chambery, France, Geneva, Switzerland, and Francfurt, Germany and never got useful results. From the train station in Geneva it kept recalculating and had me walking in circles for 25min when in fact my hotel turned out to be 2 blocks away!
I am a knowledgeable user and well aware of the various settings such as bicycle/pedestrian, map detail, routing, opting to avoid major roads, etc..
Again, not sure where the problem was but at times would lose the map altogether when walking/riding in normal outdoor settings.
The "Find Places" feature was unusable as well. I attempted to calculate a route back to home base in France and it provided around a 60 kilometer route when in fact it was only 10-15k away!
Although I will speak to Garmin about these problems and see if they are aware of any bugs in the product, for now I would have to highly recommend using a different mapping system in western Europe.

We live in Europe but bought our GPS in the US because it's cheaper, added the Europe city maps so we could use it here. It's been extremely helpful and accurate so far, we're very pleased with it! We've used it mainly for driving but have also used it as pedestrians.

5.0 out of 5 stars Saved us in Paris, June 8, 2010

This is somewhat embarrassing, but here it is.

So, we arrived in Paris CDG, took RER to the train stop I knew less than 100m from our Hotel, and took the nearest surface exit from the train station without realizing that it was the wrong surface exit (that was one of the bigger train stations with subway and RER transfer). We walked for several blocks only to mystify myself wondering why I didn't see the street signs I was supposed to. In the end, I pulled out my Garmin GPS with this SD plugged in, let it find where we were, found the Hotel's address, and say "Go", and discovered that we walked in the opposite direction for several blocks instead of walking for just a block!

Yes, please laugh; that was what we did, too. Nonetheless, this SD card saved us a ton! Get this, you won't regret it. The street of our Hotel was not the map in Rick Steve's France book, but it was indeed in this SD, as you would expect.

I have not yet tried it in places other than Paris, Nice, and the vicinity.
