Review of Garmin Nuvi 270 from Jason

Rating:

I have owned the Garmin Streetpilot C530 since last year and bought it for just over $400 and then when I decided to goto Europe. I was disappointed extremely by the fact that I had to pay an extra $299 for European map upgrades bringing the total cost after all was said and done near $800. The garmin nuvi 270 however is much cheaper and has the bonus features of the European maps already included, along with some other noteworthy additions that make it a really good deal if its priced under $600-500.

I don’t own the Nuvi 270 but I wish I did now reading other garmin nuvi 270 reviews online compared against my own c 530, I mean I really love mine but in comparison you get the same and so much more from the 270 over the c530 at a fraction at the cost, especially if you need the European maps like I did.

I have also used in the past other older GPS systems, and driving in some places such as Manhattan island I was expecting the same problems as previous models, but it seems that Garmin’s SIRF III reciever and well done maps are extremely prope and I experience none of the problems I had with older and other systems.

Highly recommend Garmin to all of you, and the Nuvi 270 or Nuvi 370 if you want an affordable, awesome and European vacation ready system!
