Made my Europe road trip a blast

I bought this CD summer 06 just before a month long road trip through Italy and I can tell it saved my trip. Without it, every day would have been a nightmare. Driving through the busy streets of Rome, Florence, Milan, Napoli went like a breeze. The automatic recalculation of routes was quick and a must when driving through very crowded streets. I was amazed how my Garmin 350 could figure out the most complicated path in the Alps and the Riviera and Amalfi coast. To build my trip, I simply entered each of my hotels in "My Favorites" as well as the major sites i wanted to visit. I then entered the destination with one waypoint each day and it went very well.^M

Map segmentation was a hassle

I just returned from a trip to Europe. For our trip we flew in to Rome, drove to a rural area an hour outside Florence, spent a week there and drove to Florence, then on to Parma, the Loire valley and finally on to Paris. I purchased this software with the Garmin GPSMap 60Cx and offer the following comments.^M

Good for Madrid

I ordered v8 as soon as it was advertised by Garmin but they shipped v7 instead. Six weeks later I got the v8 update dvd. My wife and kids had to make due with v7 while in Madrid. She was pleased with the accuracy and said it enabled her to travel around with confidence. However, she noted that Madrid was undergoing quite a bit of major road construction and she got stuck in multiple traffic jams on the major highways. In the end, she would veer away from the major roads and let the unit re-calculate her route.
