Garmin 010-10691-05 City Navigator NT Italy and Greece Map Detailed coverage for Italy, Vatican City State, San Marino and Greece includes the municipalities of Patra, Greater Athens and Greater Thessaloniki
Customer Review: Even if you buy this, still have with you a regular map!
Oddly, the Product Details do not contain a very important piece of information: the map version. I suspect this Product is the same “CN Europe NT Italy and Greece Version 9″ map that was available last year on just SD card (but not microSD). If so, I have a couple of comments regarding it.
My opinion, based on our 2007 trip to Tuscany, is: it certainly is a useful product but you cannot always rely on it. Even if you have this product and a GPS with you, still take along a good road atlas (such as Atlante Stradale d’Italia) for global route planning, and, wherever you plan to stay or visit more than once, always try to get a detailed local map.
Now some particular examples:
The V9 map was already noticeably obsolete in 2007. It was missing some new rotaries and ramps and some newly build highway extents. Once we missed our exit because of that.
Some places of interest were located incorrectly on the map. E.g. the railroad station in Poggibonsi, Tuscany, is located on the map on the wrong side of the tracks. The GPS brought us to a place from where there was no access to the station, no parking etc. When we realized what happened and manually directed the GPS to take us to the spot on the opposite side of the tracks, the GPS navigated us to a tunnel that we could not even enter because it was one way (the wrong way for us). Luckily, we had a local map that we used to find another railroad crossing! (I guess I could try the GPS “Detour” button and may be that would work out, but at the time I was just fed up with it!)
I could list many other annoying quirks some of which could be attributed to the map data (which I guess is produced by NAVTEQ) and some to the Garmin navigation system, but that would not be appropriate for this brief review.
And, of course, there were many cases when everything worked flawlessly and the product was of great help.
