EXCELLENT MAPPING
I just got back from three weeks in England, The Netherlands, France, Switzerland, Lichtenstein, Austria, and Germany. The maps and POI's were all excellent and the routing worked flawlessly, even in some of the small towns we visited. What was also very handy was subway stations are included, it was like having a tour guide in my GPSr.
Pros: mapping, accuracy, amount of info included
Cons: can only be used on one device, too much info?
Recommend: YES

NOT USER FRIENDLY
I was given advice by Garmin to buy maps of Europe on DVD instead of on an SD card because then one can work with the maps on the computer.
That advice should have come with the warning that the program on the DVD is not user friendly. It comes with a brief, inadequate tutorial.
I have been corresponding with Garmin for weeks trying to get the entire set of maps saved on the new SD card I bought for my Garmin GPS. We are still not sure I have successfully done this. There will be no way to know until I get to Europe. When I go into Tools on the GPS to see what maps are loaded, it just gives a partial list ending with a comma for the European maps.
If there were an easy way to "select all" and be sure that is what was done it would be a help.
I would have been much better off just buying the maps on the SD card.
Cons: difficult to use
Recommend: NO

A LIFESAVER PIECE OF SOFTWARE
Garmin City Navigator Europe 2010 works very well in my Garmin Nüvi GPS and has all the features one would want and more when travelling in Europe. It is the best navigation tool for a traveler : no more costly paper maps and never getting lost again !
Pros: flawless performance
Cons: data transfer from dvd to sd card was not easy
Recommend: YES

CITY NAVIGATOR EUROPE NT DVD 2010
I purchased the above maps to mainly use in Croatia, but purchased the whole of Europe as it was most cost effective. I purchased from GPSCITY because they had the best price for the maps, even thoug some people on their site did not give a favorable reviews to the product. I installed all the maps on an SD card for my Nuvi 265WT and the installation was straight forward. After landing in Frankfurt I turned my Nuvi and within a minute or so it acquired the sattelites and when I enquired where am I it showed me I was wright in the middle of Frankfurt airport. After arriving in Split the GPS booted up even faster and the maps worked flawlesly even in pedestrian mode in old parts of Split Sibenik and Zadar with very narrow streets and even when loosing sattelite signal because of obstructions it recovered quiet quickly. The most amazing part was when driving it showed the speed limits on most roada and quick speed changes when driving through towns. The latest version of North American maps does not do that in any place in Canada I have used it only in US (GARMIN PROBLEM) On my return trip I used in paris in pedestrian mode and it worked fine no problems
Pros: more map information than north america
Cons: none
Recommend: YES

GOOD STREET MAPPING
I like the product but it did not include Iceland where I had a four day stop over.Upon reviewing it did not say it included Iceland.My oversight.Very handy when you cannot pronounce the names in Denmark.

EUROPE WITHOUT A PAPER MAP
I bought the Europe map for my Garmin GPS and relied on it quite heavily. Without it, much of my time would have been spent stopping to get directions.
Pros: very reliable
Cons: na
