For around $50 ($49 + shipping) I got this European complement to the America GPS I have--Garmin Nuvi 1370 or something like that (bought GPS this year, and it came with lifetime traffic and maps). The micro-SD card is about 1/2-inch x 3/4-inch, and it fit right into the side slot. They also include an SD adapter (twice the size or more) into which you can place the micro-SD card ... and then place the adapter in your GPS (I didn't have to use the adapter but I assume it works).
My wife and I (both American) took a 3-week vacation to 7 countries in central and eastern Europe. We visited Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, and Romania. I drove in all countries except Hungary (plane into Budapest and train out of Budapest to Timisoara, Romania). The total driven between 2 rental cars (1 was only for Romania) was over 2,200 miles. We had virtually no problems with navigation. (Once in Czech Republic we took a day trip from Prague 2 hours south to Cesky Krumlov, and halfway through that there was a detour for what looked less like roadwork and more like new construction on the motorway on which we were driving--not sure why that section of motorway was even in the GPS map, but you can't blame Garmin for that one. Anyway, the GPS told us to turn around and try the same thing, which we did and only ended up with the same roundabout and no discernable detour signs--not at all like you would usually see in America. It was the road crew's way of covering up the towns listed for the 1 roundabout exit on the blue sign with red electrical tape (and by doing so, implicitly telling you to find your own way) that really added a nice Czech flavor to our day trip. Eventually we followed the next 3 roundabouts' directions toward a city near Cesky Krumlov and ended up on a slower more minor road, but still got where we were going after the GPS recalculated once it realized what we were doing.
One thing I noticed that would frustrate anyone...beware of this...our plane landed in Munich and we had 2 or 3 days there before we would get the rental car. Walking around the 1st day we were there, I got out the GPS to see if it would work or at least find satellites. It would not find satellites for the 10 or 15 minutes I had it out, and it was not a tall buildings issue. The night before we were to rent the car, I was in a bit of a panic because I wanted the GPS to work and not have to rent a GPS (which would have cost about $125 for the 13 days I drove)...so I looked up online how to get my GPS to recognize satellites. There was some method on some website telling me to hold down the power button for 30 seconds and change some setting in Tools/Options (or something like that, I don't remember at all) so it would forget my usual Pennsylvania USA satellite and try to get a new one in Munich as its preferred satellite--I found the idea that the GPS would not have the logic built in to figure out that it needs to re-default really archaic, but I tried it. I'm not sure if that is what worked (probably not, probably just time), but after trying that and then holding it out on the balcony of our hotel room for 20 minutes or more, it eventually found a satellite and all was well.
Important note: Make sure your GPS is fully charged before you travel...in case you have to do this 30- to 60-minute process without having a car to plug it in.
After the finding satellites issue, there was no problem with lag time finding satellites wherever we went.
In 2,200 plus miles it may have told us to go the wrong way on 2 or 3 streets, but other than that and the occasional middle of the city "turn right onto trail" that is to be expected when you are turning 10 times in 1 minute down alleyways, it worked extremely well--I'm sure just as well as anything we would have rented.
It worked flawlessly in Romania for crying out loud--Romania... (which is good because when we were in Bucharest and I had to turn around because we had entered Bucharest instead of the Otopeni airport suburb, I didn't have to roll down the window and ask for directions when a pack of 10 or so of their 200,000 stray dogs ran up to the car barking and charging).
The reason I say that the GPS worked as well as (probably better than) anything we would have rented... when you rent a GPS from a car rental company with your car, you get a GPS with however old and out-of-date maps they feel like giving you. In present-day Europe (with their major road projects to attempt to stimulate the economy), 3 years out of date might be tough to use if they have built new minor or major roads or exits.
1 more note--I printed out general directions from city to city using viamichelin.com before we left...basically in case I got lost or the GPS would not respond. They helped me stay on track a couple times when I just didn't believe the GPS, and they could have been a lifesaver if anything happened to the GPS or it all of a sudden could not find satellites.
(Buy it from Amazon or a low-price merchant--there is no reason at all to buy it from Garmin's website.)
