So wrong… Actually if you want one for europe get a tomtom or any manufactur that uses tele-atlas which were originally european vendors. I have a magellan and its perfect, not overpriced like the nuvi either, does more, looks the same and uses the same navteq maps. So all you that complain about mapping, the GPS companys only use 2 map vendors, navteq and tele atlas. Navteq seems to be updated alot more than tele. Its all personal preference tho, i did alot of research and the magellan was perfect for what i need, without overpaying for a nuvi that does 50% less than my magellan. research my friend, goes along way 🙂 --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/magellan-tomtom-garmin-whats-best/45204)._
