We are going to Europe. I was wondering if this would be helpful if we go sightseeing, get lost and want to find our way back to our hotel (on foot).

I have used a number of gps devices and this one is totally and utterly worthless. I was looking for a small and light device but never did find one that worked. I still use a Garmen etrex that is 10 years old. If you find something, please let me know.

That's about all it is good for, finding your way back. I use mine while hunting new land, to get back to my truck. It great for that. I use a different GPS to mark my traps in the winter.

If things worked perfect it should - but I found it took way to long to connect with the satellite for my liking. It was raining and after 2-3 minutes in the rain I gave up. That wasn't what I had bought it for, a shower buddy!

This thing is tricky to use, has problems finding sattelites and works mostly as a compass. In my opinion - is useless.

No. Stick with the usual car navigation. It is so small that you won't be able to really see it nor be guided by it.

Yes. I have been using mine for years all over Europe. I advise carrying a map in case some new roads are not on it. You can find museums, entertainment, dining, etc. without downloading anything.

I haven't used it yet but it does track where you have gone so that you can take the same way back. I bought it for equine trails. The map is not loaded but I found a sight where it's only around 9 bucks. You can fine many different maps there. It's called way points. You set way point & it draws a line from one to the next. You can set as many as you want on your trail. I plan to set one at every trail head. https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/maps/on-the-trail-maps/c452-c456-p1.html

really don't think so. the unit is self learning so if you drive the route it will remember it. It also learns the fastest route and will suggest it -if you go to the same place 2 different ways it will learn both and suggest the fastest one.

Yes. It will also store specific locations and provide navigation guidance to reach a specific stored location.

Yes, it's only for to get back to a point you already were at. You can store up to 3 locations. It dose not work in house. You need to be outside and it takes about a minute to establish connection I'm guessing with (satellite/GPS).

I used this to go from European round to the North America flat. Not sure if same for Asia.

Hi, Yes you need to download maps for each particular region. I have experience with tourist map but not for city navigation. And while it is great for hiking it could be less convenient in a dense city area.Attila

Patricia this is designed to get you places not keep track of miles so I don't think it does what you need. You Mark a starting point and when you want to get back it points you in the right direction. It can also get you back to a point by marking the point when you arrive, saving it and when you want to go back to that point you dial it up and it points you to it.

Yes. When you turn it back on it will resume the navigation to the destination you had set prior to turning it off.

I don't know if its better, but TomTom has taken us all over Europe and the US. We just set the home button for wherever we are staying, get in the car, and follow the road. When we are ready to go back home, it gets us back with no problem. On our last vacation, it successfully navigated us through the Swiss Alps. Hope this helps.

Yes we believe it is good for navigation. We have purchased 2 in the last 4 years. It has good tracking abilities and you can "Mark a Position" any time you want so you have a place you can go back to if needed.
1366672
Yes. It allows you to change these items so they show on the guide page. I sometimes change it back and forth during a trip. I hope this helps.

Yes. They have a Trip Planner app. You add way points as desired and it will route you via those points. I added planed rest and picnic stops and got est. of arrival time for the leg I was on as well as miles to go. I also got the program "Trip & Waypoint Manager" after I left on my last trip. You install on you computer, plan your tip and then transfer info to GPS unit. Unfortunately my parents have borrowed the unit so I cannot test how well this will work. My first impression is that the program is not that great but I really can't say until I get my GPS back. Craig

I bought these maps for Japan. Found that it only covered major cities. Ended up not using it at all. Years ago I bought a Garmin GPS from Amazon that had the European maps pre-installed. Did use that in Europe and it was a godsend. Europe, like Japan, lacks street signs a lot. However, neither was very good for walking. You'd need a GPS designed for walking. The Garmin has a setting for walking, though I never used it. Sorry for not being of much help.

Absolutely. I used it in Scotland myself. Just remember to take it home with you when you leave the hotel room.
