Digital camera reviews of Garmin nüvi 270 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator
Digital camera Review: A User-friendly GPS
Summary: 5 Stars
We bought a Garmin nuvi 270 recently as it seems to be the only one of the Garmin products with Europe maps loaded, and at a reasonable price. We love it. It is very user friendly and I like the fact that it is portable. I just find that the accessories for it adds up dollar-wise. As well, we are running out of memory already when we had only half a dozen of addresses in the unit. We now need to invest another $30 or so on a memory card. As a first-time GPS buyer, I'd recommend it.
