2nd attempt to post this :o
GPS wharehouse near Heathrow told me last week that they were due in before the end of this week, but it MIGHT be next week !! Try them if they are not your supplier.
Have the 350 Nuvi and it was brillaint in France and Belgium taking me through little villages and hamlets to two remote destinations! Just southern Ireland has a little lacking.
Friends checked out Sweden and Denmark and were well impressed with the mapping and details for Hotels and Restaurants etc. |

CGL,
It is GPSW that are the suppliers.. they don't have them, but told me they would be in last Friday....... rang them today to find out where it was.. I even told them I needed it before Friday this week....
this now leaves me with little time to sort out, and could be VERY expensive! my local halfords has stock of the c301 so maybe I will have to get one!
Not very impressed with all parties concerned!!!  especially when I told them the date it was required by...

Adam.
Check out www.savastore.com for NUVI 350 (About £396 inc VAT) and other prices. Good delivery service if you order in the morning and if you are near to Luton you can pick up from their on site wharehouse shop. |

| But the C310 doesn't have maps of France does it? I thought you needed a C320 for that. |

It would appear so - GPSW are listing the French SD Card as "In Stock" and the French Micro SD card as "Normally 2-3 days" - ie out of stock. |

By the time you purchase one travel card at about £90 the price has jumped up !
And you only have limited travel cover.
For under £400 you get European Mapping and a great travel aid that fits in your pocket.
I have a habit of getting lost walking around forighn cities but with the Nuvi in my Pocket I never got lost in Brussels and found the pubs and a hotel 
I've put a 2 GB sd card in the Nuvi and talking books and mp 3 music.
Talking book is a change to radio stations as well.
Money conversion for working out costs in euros etc. |

Zog,
Correctamundo, there are NO I3 micro sd cards with French maps on anywhere.. according to garmin
And there is a problem with the format it was done in... and something to do with motorola.. so they told me....
not very good customer services if you ask me....
