Just bought my self a new Garmin Nuvi 200w, which includes the GB and Ireland maps. I was about to purchase the Europe maps but decided to look how far afield the current map went, to my surprise i zoomed out and it seems to cover all of Europe, if i type i Germany and search for a German city it is there and calculates a route. The only thing I have done is updated the map and software to version 2.90 via the website. Have I been lucky or is this how they supply them now with all of Europe.

Hi

I think if you zoom in you will find this is just major roads and not street detail mapping.

What's it say, if you press "Spanner" | "Map" | "Map Info" (or the Nüvi 200w's equivalent)? Underneath "City Navigator Europe NT v9", it should list the regions, eg [1] UK & Ireland

My StreetPilot C510 has City Navigator V9 UK & Ireland. I can't select any cities in Germany - in fact, it doesn't recognise Germany as a country (the instant I press "G", it returns "Galles" - French for Wales?)

My Nüvi 310 came with City Navigator V8, but I got a free upgrade to V9 that included all Europe ... pressing "G" gives me Galles,Germany,Gibraltar - I can plot a Route to the centre of Berlin on that one.

Ah -- I reckon you've got one of the 'routeable' base maps loaded...which contain just the major roads, towns and cities (and they seem fairly old as well).

So ... yes, it'll sort of get you there, but with nothing like the same degree of finesse you would get with a detailed map loaded.
