3.0 out of 5 stars GPS SD Card, January 28, 2008

The SD card works fine. One problem I had is this is a micro SD
card so it needs an adapter to fit in the SD card slot on my
Garmin GPS. The micro SD card came in a Garmin package but no
adapter. There was an empty space in the package where it looks like their should have been an adapter. I was leaving for Spain the day
after I rcvd the sd card so I had to go to radio shack to buy an
adapter. The company needs to specify whether the package contains
and adapter or if you need to purchase it separately.

In general, a great add on product to my Garmin Nuvi. We drove around southern Spain and I found it an invaluable tool, especially when trying to navigate through larger cities. At times there was some confusion as to the direction to take, but that might have been related to the signal quality at the time. Bottom line, if you are driving in Spain and you do not want to rent a GPS unit, buy the maps and take your Garmin Nuvi with you.

2.0 out of 5 stars Use caution and take Michelin, too, June 25, 2010

I have two more days on the road with these maps. It has been a bit frustrating. I am solo, so trying to read a map and drive isn't safe and I thought this would be the ticket. However, I have gotten more mixed up with this than I ever did with Michelin. Three big caveats: 1) It often doesn't match the turn number and the road number at roundabouts. So, if you don't know the road you want to take, don't believe it the first time. Drive all the way around the roundabout and make sure that you are taking the right road. In medieval town plans, there is no such thing as "go around the block" and at one point I spent one half hour getting back to where I needed to be to take the correct turn. 2) It often calls out a different name for the road than the one posted. 3) It will send you down pedestrian only streets, which you might not realize until you are indeed there. (They are not blocked completely for delivery trucks to get to businesses, and they might not have a "blocked entry" or one way sign for that reason.) It is a huge problem, so be very careful. I've not yet been arrested, but I have come close to crying!

If you do decide to take this, take good maps, too. Go through all the turns and routes before you start and compare them to the map. If it seems reasonable, let the Garmin clue you as to turns. However, you might need to negotiate on your own, too.

I did write to Garmin while on this trip, and the advice I was given was to reset my unit and to download an update. (Of course, I don't have that cable with me, but this should have been the current version, as I just purchased it.) Moreover, when I did make my hotel reservation today, I mentioned that I wanted directions because I had terrible luck with my....(and I couldn't remember the Spanish word), so the desk clerk said, "GPS?" Yes, it was not the first time he had heard that.

btw, I've used the US version of Garmin for a few years and have had none of these issues.
