GARMIN 010-10672-02 Nuvi Europe Travel Guide

Product Description

garmin TRAVEL GUIDE (ALL OF EUROPE, Manufacturer: garmin USA INC, Model Number: 010-10672-02

The Garmin travel guide is very limited for the money. Don't waste your money.


This guide has a lot of useful information but only if you are going to one of the large cities listed in the guide. However it is very confusing and un-intuitive to access. There is a "Travel Guide" icon on the touch screen which Garmin tech support tells me that it is nonfunctional because the Garmin Travel Guide is not completely compatible with my Garmin Nuvi even though it is listed as an accessory for my particular Nuvi. No matter which city I enter in the search bar in the "Travel Guide" it takes me to someplace in Maine. Yes, I called Garmin Tech Support on two seperate occassions because I was certain the card was corrupted and not working correctly. Their only response was to walk me through a number of confusing steps to access the information that I want. Of course these steps are forgotten by the next time I want to use it and it takes me 10 or 15 minutes to figure out again which is very frustrating. My recommendation is to save your hard earned $50 bucks, go to AAA and get a free(if you are members) tour book. It will have a lot more information for a lot more destinations, even smaller towns.


GARMIN 010-10672-02 Nuvi Europe Travel GuideI searched Amazon for a MAP upgrade to have while walking and/or driving around Paris, and this was "suggested".
GUESS WHAT? NO MAPS! Supposedly just a list of touristy places to go to and stay! You can get that free on the internet with your browser, and would never use it while driving anyway. What jerk designed this? Meanwhile I was stranded in Paris with no navigation maps and no place to exchange the product for what I really needed.


It was the worst thing I could ever do. Trusting you vacations on something like this may bring you lots of headaches and pains. I traveled to Spain and Germany and the first thing I noticed upon my arrival was that the SD card was not being read nor working on my Nüvi 260. I took my GPS device for a check and they said it was the card that was not working properly. I had no other choice than to buy a new GPS device for Europe so I could drive for the rest of my trip. I will return the SD Card back to the shipper and ask for my money back asap.


DO NOT BUY Does not work. I went to Europe and tried this GPS navigation card, and it recognized that I was in Europe and it had plenty of points of interest to choose from but it showed no roads and had no idea on how to get me where I wanted to go. Very unhappy. And I checked the return policy and it states that it is only returnable within 24 hours, which was hard to do because I was in Europe. NO NOT BUY


Try getting your money back after it fails. A dark screen after loading the SD card. Called Garmin, placed on hold for 20 minutes, was told that it doesn't work unless the unit picks up the satellites in Europe. So, who do you call with a dark screen in downtown Strausbourg and won't be home until the return date has lapsed? AMAZINGLY, I was also told that the software has no maps (that cost another $300). This Travel Guide is nothing more than a glorified electronic tour book that you can pick up for $20 in hardcopy and with real maps! They call this dumming up.


Garmin and Fodors should be ashamed of this product. The coverage is absurd. In Washington D.C. I looked for a restaurant near my current location. Nada, but I was surrounded by a wide variety of places to eat, some of them very highly rated by local media. This guide wanted me to go most of the way across town, an expensive cab ride, to a neighborhood that I was advised wasn't very safe. You're better off to Google the city before you visit and take along a few pages of printouts. Do not waste your money on this piece of garbage.


I have used this product for over a year and I am very happy with it. It may not be the best program for vacationers as one might require more details for a pleasure trip. However, for business travel this gives me what I need to know:

* The most popular restaurants and the price range of each

* Hotels situated in the major downtown and business areas

* Bars and other places for nightlife and entertainment

* Major points of interest

* General information about the city in question

Many of the reviews concerning this product complain about the lack of coverage. In smaller cities (and I spend time in them as well) the options for dining and entertainment are not as imposing as they are in, for instance, Chicago, Philadelphia, San Francisco, New York, Houston, Seattle, etc. I have used this guide in all of those cities plus many more and I have been very pleased with the information that it provides. I highly recommend it for those who require quick and reliable guidance while traveling for business.




I purchased the Fodor's review for my statewide travel around Oregon. I'd hoped to find recommendations for the major cities, including the state capital. However, only Portland is mentioned and the reviews failed to capture the essence of this city.

Installation was easy and use was as one would expect of the NUVI.




I live near San Francisco and wanted to use my Garmin when I entertained visitors. It does not have the comprehensive guide you would expect for the price. It lists some museums left off the DeYoung. One of the best museums in the city. Lists some attractions leaves out many others. it seems like only those items of interest that fodors got paid to advertise made the list. There are too many major points of interest for SanFrancisco left off. I can't imagine how bad it is for other areas. I am very disappointed. I wish there was a way to program my own points of interest in to my GPS. I would also like Garmin to add a narrated guide for the 49 mile scenic drive in San Francisco.
