4.0 out of 5 stars Watch Revision Number!, March 6, 2007

This is a good source of map data, but watch the revision number of the particular product before buying, according to Garmin website lastest revision of MetroGuide Europe is Version 9 with significantly improved coverage of Spain And Portugal (believe the product shown here is version 6 ??).

More generally, my experience with GPS mapping products for Europe has been spotty - rural roads and village/small city coverage/street names is frequently not very detailed and as such not alot of help. Major highway system and intercity routes is good - MetroGuide Europe is no exception.

4.0 out of 5 stars good coverage and much cheaper than city navigator, May 10, 2006

I choked on the City Navigator price for eTrex Legend Cx, but found this instead. While it is not advertised as working, it works fine, so long as you don't want the unit to do routing for you. For my purposes, I could do w/o that and save the $165.

The only nit I have is that it is sometimes difficult to find places and attractions that you are looking for. You have to be creative w/ the names you feed into search, and keep trying till you get it - it is in there.

This review is for v8.

Their software is very bad. Difficult to use, expensive, full of errors and gives a lot of problems (a package costs over $100 and it doesn't even work).
