I was sent to England to work for 6 months to 1 year. Actually 4 of us were, and we all bought the same Garmin Nuvi 270 from Amazon...and it is GREAT. Mine has gotton me all over England, and I recently took it back to the US for Christmas...worked like a charm. My co-workers have been to Dublin, Ireland, the Check republic, and Rome, Italy....and it worked GREAT in all locations. Highly recommend for a trip to Europe, and something that you can still use back in the US.
