Anthony Tessier ( Reston, VA USA ) While the process of installation was simple enough, getting the application to actually work on a Nuvi with US maps already installed has so far proved impossible. The instructions provided are entirely inadequate.

Huzski Just came back from Europe...could not have made the trips around Italy and Monaco without this product....the only problem we had was when we went to install, our Garmin did not have the adequate memory. After holding for Garmin support for 1 hr. (not a very nice customer service rep.), we were told we had to go and buy a memory card ($12)...then no problems.

drbobo ( Delaware, USA ) 1. Horrible packaging. Need strong scissors or shears to open.
2. Works with Mac OS X and Windows; archaic Garmin software is not intuitive and difficult but not impossible to use. Not a pleasurable experience (the Map App on my iPhone is much more fun.)
3. This version (City Navigator Europe NT 2010) is up-to-date as of April, 2009. Garmin offers additional updates for only $129 (should be free), which can be done online (I did not bite on this).
4. Make sure you get an SD card to go with this program as you'll need a fair amount of space if you want to download a reasonable sample of maps in preparation for your travels (I would suggest a minimum of 500 mb - more is better).
5. Be prepared to wait. It takes forever (hours) to download content, even with a fast SD card.
6. You have to register your Garmin GPS device online and can only use this map with that device. The digital rights management on this software is onerous and dumb (especially considering what you can get online these days for free!)
Once maps installed, unit works with additional maps transparently without problems (may revise when I get back from Europe!)

Aneel Nazareth ( San Francisco, CA USA ) I'm going on a trip to Turkey, and checked out the City Navigator NT Europe information at the Garmin website, which promised detailed maps of major cities and intercity roads. Those are absent from the DVD. The Turkey information is in version 2010.20, and the latest version available on DVD seems to be 2010.10. I had to contact Garmin support and request a download of the update in order to get the advertised maps.
Installing the maps from the DVD was straightforward. Installing the maps from the update was not.

Traveling_Goddess ( Los Angeles, USA ) Bought this disc, jumped hoops to install it, then finally thought I had installed it went on my trip. Could not use it in France because the nuvi 760 could not find the satellite the entire trip which was 4 days then we went to Spain... yeah, it found the satellite but then Barcelona had no streets listed... only streets that it found were 5 miles out of the main Barcelona city... ok lets move on... it was ok for Granada, Sevilla, Cordoba and Madrid... then we went to Italy... well again the city was on the map but not streets were loading... what the f_? It was a complete and utter disappointment. The other problem was the navigation unit has been starting very slowly ever since I loaded the selected cities and countries that we were going to travel. I think it would have been cheaper and more reliable to have bought a new navigation unit already set-up for Europe.... do not recommend this product at all. Oh, did I mention that the Garmin folks were not very helpful when I emailed them about the problems. The product is great for US use other than that it is not.
