On Jan. 9, 2009 I received a confirmation email stating that you have received my returned garmin Nuvi 270. I am still waiting for a credit to my credit card. please let me know when the credit will be given as I don’t want to have problems with my credit card.

Thank you,

Garmin must have taken to heart the generally-accepted fact that Americans simply won’t read instruction manuals–so they didn’t write one.

This unit is designed to be operated by persons who can intuitively divine how to make it function after glancing at the truly-quick-start information. For you, this will do the job.

For the rest of us, who might enjoy taking advantage of the many advanced features of this unit–well, too bad. Garmin won’t even reply to emails requesting additional information on the unit’s capabilities.

So you’ll pay better than a hundred dollars for a highly capable electronic device and–if you’re the curious type–you’ll spend a fair amount of time wondering how to make it perform its tricks.

For my money, I’d rather have a well-written manual. It would have earned this unit at least one more star.

(Disclaimer: My Garmin 270was a promotional gift.)

Bought this for my daughter, she thought it was cute, but did not have the add on features she would of liked, so she returned it for one that suited her geek nature.

We ended up also ordering the 260 cause even though the 270 is more expensive it does not have text to speech. We didn’t need the european maps cause we probably wont be going and I heard that they don’t pick up signals in most of the european countries. In all I would say, if you only want to use it in America go with the 260, much better deal.

Hi, I’m planning on buying this product since I often travel to the U.S., but I would like to know if it works in Mexico.

Can anyone tell me if this is possible?

I would appreciate any help.
