Buy Gps With Europe Maps
what’s the difference between different Garmin map types?
I bought a Garmin nuvi 275t GPS which includes maps of USA and Europe. I’m looking at the Garmin site and wondering what the difference is between the Navigator maps (e.g. North America…) and the city maps (e.g. CityXplorer, Bay Area) and the water maps and the topo maps.
Does anyone know what the overlap, if any, is? Or a web page / site that explains it?
It appears that I have the road maps for those two areas, the equivalent of the City Navigator North America and City Navigator Europe. Would I then have to buy the CityXplorer London if I’m going to London and want additional POI, transit maps, etc. or am I covered with City Navigator Europe?
While I’m on a roll – do the topo and street maps interact nicely with each other? Or do I have to switch between the street maps and the topo maps depending on what I’m doing?
TIA.
TIA:
Just waited 40 min on hold with Garmin product support because I had the same question.
Here’s the deal:
The nüMaps Lifetime™ North America and Europe and the respective City Navigators (City Navigator® North America NT 2010 & City Navigator® Europe NT 2010 Map Update) are the same map sets. They contain the EXACT same information, roads, POI’s, businesses, et al. It’s just that the nüMaps Lifetime™ North America and Europe are more money, because they are “Lifetime” subscriptions and are updated quarterly.
The City Navigators are a one time purchase which is why they are delineated with the 2010.
Obviously if you use your GPS in North America AND Europe (and often) the best deal is the nüMaps Lifetime™ North America and Europe maps. Note that the “Lifetime” subscriptions are Download only. That makes it easier for me, but that’s me!
Safe Travels,
Joe
P.S. Try Topo 8.0. Delorme says it has incorporated BOTH the Topo and Street Atlas features in one program. I have just loaded it, and it SEEMS that it works well.
