[.uk] Garmin 010-10691-00 UK and Ireland City Navigator NT



Features:
  • Maps stored on microSD card with SD adapter


worked well:
Amazon had a great price for this chip. It was approximately half the price on the Garmin site. The GPS did recalculate occasionally, but this was not a big issue. This beat the heck out of trying to read a map of the tiny little roads in the irish coutryside (with surprisingly fast speed limits). I recommend this product.


Plug & Play for Ireland:
We recently went to Ireland for 7 days and relied upon our Garmin as we toured in a rental car. The roads are not always well-marked and the UK/Ireland Plug & Play saved the day more than once. Be aware that there are times you wind up "recalculating" more than you want, and some of the newest motorways are not on this version but all-in-all money well spent!


Worked Well for Us:
Just as advertised, you pop the SD card into the SD slot on your Garmin, and lo and behold, suddenly you can see all the streets in the entire UK (England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales... am I missing anything?). Someone commented that they thought their Garmin was a little slower when reading the maps from the card instead of the internal memory - that may be true, but I couldn't really tell since we were moving so slowly that it kept up with our needs.


My Ireland trip:
I just got back from my trip in Ireland. I was a little worried that this chip would get lost in some of the remote Irish areas. Luckily, I was wrong. I went to, and everything in between, Limerick City, Kilkenny, Ferbane, Galway City, Clifden, Westport, & Drumshanbo. In total, I drove 974.5 km (?? in miles) and I didn't get lost once (ok, I missed one turn). You have to keep 2 things in mind - there are new highways/roads in the process of being built and address' are very vague in Ireland - don't fault the chip for that. I considered this chip more useful and valuable than my passport. If I didn't have this, I would have been up a creek. It's also useful when walking through a city like Galway, instead of holding a gigantic map in front of you. Plus, you can zoom in on a town or city and see points of interest (hotels, eating, attractions, etc.). No regrets and plenty of great memories thanks to this chip. Skip the paper maps. You'll get around and find your way with this thing.
