Hi All, First of all apologies if this question has being answered before :) On a visit to the US recently I purchased the Garmin NUVI 260, However its only loaded with US maps. Where is the best place to purchase European maps ? Thanks

Check the price of a 260 over here with Europe maps or maybe a 250 if you don't need to hear Irish street names being pronounced by a synthesised British voice.

Your US Nuvi 260 won't have space for Europe maps so they'll need to be downloaded to an SD card but if the card gets accidently damaged or corrupted you might be in trouble, might be well worth considering purchasing a different model over here and keep the 260 for trips to the US.

You could have saved yourself a lot of hassle by buying the 270 which has Europe and North America maps.
