We returned last week from a 12 day trip to Italy...I don't know what we would have done w/o my Garmin nuvi 350 while driving around the Tuscany area. It was worth the $250 I spent on maps of Europe...And when we thought the "lady in the box" was incorrect and ignored her directions, it turned out that she was right on. There are not many "route" postings on the roads, so paper maps can be confusing especially in and near the towns. But unlike the other memory cards, the map one has to be in the GPS.
