If you want to get the UK/Ireland map, get the download from Garmin. The MicroSD/SD is an off-the-shelf brand that doesn’t work reliably. You can buy higher quality media on your own rather than this cheap adapter kit. I’m very disappointed with this amateur product from Garmin.
The maps were great just type in venue in Rome and walk directly to it. We traveled thru italy and england never got lost, worth every penny
The map is good and precise.
One day in the city of Sao Paulo I was near a shopping center and the navigator just did not display it !!
And It was’nt a new place ! Some places are just missing !!!
The radar cameras are not provided and it’s nedded to downloaded separetedely ( too bad !)
I got the Garmin Brazil map addition in SD card and was somewhat disappointed with it.
For starters, it doesn’t come with any instructions at all. In fact, all I needed to do was insert the card in the GPS unit, but took me a while to figure that out b/c I thought I needed to connect the unit to the computer and install something. A little piece of paper with instructions would have gone a LONG way.
Then I finally got to use the maps in Sao Paulo, Brazil. You definitely have to take it with a grain of salt. My experience with the maps in the US is that you can trust the GPS unit to take you where you want to go with no problems. In Brazil, it’s not quite like that… it sends you the wrong way on one way streets, tries to put you on busy roads (hard to get shortcuts that way) and that makes you have to pay a lot more attention to what you’re doing. Once I put in a destination, I often have to change the route and wait for the GPS to re-route b/c the original route didn’t quite work.
But… it’s better than nothing. Sao Paulo is huge and without it I’d be lost for sure, so it’s worth the money.
My final note is that even though it contains maps for the most important cities and probably all you’ll need, it’s not as thorough as the US and lacks a lot of coverage.
Overall, if you don’t have an alternative in mind, it’s better to have this than have nothing.
I bought this SD Card for one of my friends in Brazil. He is right now very happy while using it with a Garmin nuvi 1300. It makes really a great pair. Very good value for money.
