UK TRAVEL
On a recent trip to the UK this product worked extremely well and compensated for driving on the left hand side of the road. Got me out of Gatwick comfortably from the get go. No concerns getting around even the small frustrating streets and tiny roads on Dartmoor. Found everything I was looking for all the way.
Pros: great warning advance on roundabouts.
Cons: not all routes give were the fastest, but close.

EXCELLENT STREET MAPPING....EXCEPT....
Street mapping in Scotland/England excellent. Exception being: chip of maps is at least 1 year out of date. Showing roundabouts where instead there are flyovers (some on the M1 and M6 approx 2yrs. old). New intersections (1 yr. new) not showing. Roundabouts and postal codes (1 yr. new)not showing. found that extremely frustrating. But, in the confusion of England/Scotland cities it guided us perfectly (especially keeping to the correct lanes on the myriad on-ramp/exit lanes of the City of Glasgow. Easy to key in destinations. We called the SatNav "sadie". The computer generated voice was quite funny trying to pronounce the 'Scots' street names!! We wouldn't drive in the UK without our Garmin (and we are UK ex-pats).
Pros: town/city street mapping
Cons: mapping chip not current (1-2yrs. out of date)
Recommend: YES

SIMPLE NAVIGATING
I landed in the UK on an overnight flight and at 7:30 AM began my jouney from the confusion of London's Heathrow airport to a village south of Birmingham. I was delighted at how easy the journey became despite my lack of sleep from the flight. It guided me beautifully and only on rare occasions was I troubled by I suspect very complicated intersections or maybe recently modified intersections.

MICROCHIP FOR GARMIN- IRELAND
Absolutely essential if you plan to drive in Ireland! This chip saved us hours of "lost" time. Street names/signs are rare in the Irish countryside. With this chip we were able to find our destinations, bed/breakfasts, and landmarks with ease!
Pros: accurate

NAVIGATOR EUROPE NT UK
Invaluable to find many of our B&B's in many parts of England. We also had an AA map book purchased at Morrisons but the GPS helped us with the best route and also estimate time to drive to our next destination fairly accurately. I had to call GPS City in Calgary to find that I needed to zoom out then drag my finger over the Atlantic in order to view England. This instruction was missing from the package when purchased.
Cons: better installation instructions reqd.

IRELAND GPS
We loved this product!! We only toured around Ireland, but this made roundabouts a lot easier and was only off a couple of times when they turned the roundabout into a light controlled intersection. The GPS took us down some crazy roads, but we just laughed it made our driving trip a lot more fun. The only thing we would suggest is that if you miss a turn, stop and correct yourself instead of letting it recalculate as you can waste a lot of time. Overall great product!!

GPS MAP OF IRELAND
I drove from the southwest (Limerick) to the far North (Donegal). Mapping was accurate and speed limits very accurate. However, points of interest for medium towns (by Irish standards - Letterkenny for example) were poor. I could not find the church I was looking for in Letterkenny or any of the nearby major stores, although hotels were marked.
Pros: speed limits
Cons: points of interest in medium to small towns

CALMING INFLUENCE
Driving on the wrong side of the road in entirely new country is a bit nerve wracking. Having the GPS with me, esplaining what the speed limit is, and which exit to take from the roundabout calmed my nerves a great deal. Only had difficulty in one small area of England, eventually sorted ourselves out.

SCOTLAND, WALES WITHOUT A HITCH
We received our Garmin microSD City Navigator card for the UK in just 3 days which was great because we were leaving 2 days later for Scotland & the greatest round of golf ever, the sun even shone. The GPS was a god send for getting around in the least amount of time - wouldn't have wanted to do the trip without it - will be sure to purchase additional cards in the future.
Pros: this card had all the details we needed

GARMIN UK MAPS
Amazing detail. We needed to travel down some small lanes to get to a tiny country town and they were all included. The only negative I can think of is that when entering a roundabout the instructions indicated which exit to take, i.e. first, second etc. but did not quote the route number i.e. A5 All in all an excellent product.

CITY NAVIGATOR EUROPE NT UK AND IRELAND CARD
I have downloaded the maps to my GPS and entered specific locations. I'm going to Ireland in May and will test the maps when I arrive in Dublin. The info in the package advises to copy the microSD card in case of a failure. When I tried to use the back-up I needed an unlock code. I requested a back-up code from gpscity.ca but have had no response.
Pros: looks good so far, will know better when i go.

MICROSD UK WORKS GREAT
plugged it in to the bottom of my nuvi 760 and fired it up. 1400 miles across the UK in ten days with a roundabout every 2 miles. no way i would have survived without it. for the most part complete and up to date. lost its head navigating the service roads in and around heathrow and it just checked out of the process. would also be useful to have an option to force m category motorways vs. the a roads - had to manually set up routes to get that happening. not sure that timing data is accurate as it did choose some congested routes. an avoid less than car width lanes would also have been useful in some rural areas given that i was driving a mercedes e-class. on the whole a very useful and functional piece of kit. gpscity responsive and fast. it was expensive.

GARMIN MICROSD CITY NAVIGATOR EUROPE NT UK AND IRE
Bought this card so I could use my Street Pilot 530 in the UK for a rental car vacation. product was shipped very promptly by GPS City - will definitely do business with you guys again. Go Canada! Generally happy with the card and the unit easy to install - plugged straight into the card slot, and the unit on power-up recognised the card and worked. But ... while in the UK constantly had to let the unit know that I was in the UK and so to search for locations there, not North America! More frustrating, driving in York and navigating to a parking station and it tells me to turn right ... into a oneway street going the wrong way. Locals told me this street has been oneway for as long as anyone can remember. Unit also asked me to make a U-turn in the middle of a freeway! Navigating to Stonehenge it took us on tiny backroads (very scenic, very 'England', but locals agreed the route taken was very odd), and some of the landmarks used names that differed from what they're commonly known by. Lots of newer road (I had the 2008) changes were not included. Also, who can figure out what 'point 5 miles' is? The UK insists, like our American friends, on using antiquated units, which is fine, the unit will use imperial or metric, but decimal miles??? Just give the distance in feet, yards or cubits! Nonetheless, I would recommend buying this card if you already own a Garmin and want to use it in the UK. Better yet, rent a GPS from the rental car company.
