I'm taking with me to Italy. Am planning on buying a TIM data card. Is the set-up pretty self explanatory? Do I need anything else to set up?

Yes it is very self explanatory. Just put sim in slot under battery and hook up to computer/laptop it'll pop up go to set up new device.. That's it!!

SIM company frequency bands must be 2100 MHZ. In Europe most Tel company use Frequeny bands Of 2100. I used the mine in the Netherlands and Portugal and it worked.

This isn't an answer, but a question. I'm thinking of taking this to Italy with me in a few weeks. How did the TIM data card work for you? If you didn't use TIM, which brand did you use? Also - did the device work as expected? Was it worth the expense? Thanks in advance!

I used mine in Italy with a TIM sim mid-May to early June 2014. It worked well. Be aware that not all areas of Italy have good 3G coverage; most did but not all. If you are planning to use this for Google Maps while driving around Italy, it will work very well when there is a 3G signal. At times we were glad that our rental car came with free GPS for those handful of times when TIM 3G was not available and Google Maps would not work. The lack of availability had nothing to do with this device as our iPhones with TIM sims had the same problem in these areas.

I have a Nuvi 1300 with life time map updates. I would like to get a European map also, specifically Italy. What is the process for this and what is the cost?

We just got back from 3 months there. We used the Garmin 770.Some of my comments here: http://www.andthesethygifts.com/2009/06/18/using-a-gps-in-italy/

Italy is included, but I did not use it there. I used it for 3 weeks in France, and 2 weeks in Germany. My experience was about 98% positive with the European maps, I would venture to say that the majority of the time it will keep you out of trouble. I could not have made my 5 week trip without it. (I would also recommend a regular road map in addition, so that you can visually get the idea when you are heading in the correct direction. Learn all the ins and outs before you go, it will cut down on the learning curve once in Europe. Many sights and tourist attractions are listed. Barry S.

It sure indeed is a brilliant forum. I´ve looked for my answer there and from what I learned the device I was actually looking for was C310 and not C310x. A software hack was required in order to read the ROM so I gave up on this unit and chose a NAV200 from Delphi which stores all its maps in the external SD card thus making it much simpler to switch to maps from other countries. I also had to consider the fact that navteq, route 66 and destinator are the only available providers of maps to Brazil and US (the countries I need).

I bought the micro sd card for Europe and also this update. I tried to load the update the night before the trip and I failed to get it to work. Allow time to get tech support before you go. I kept it to try again. Sd card was great. I drove from Paris to Biarritz in France with many stops in between. Then Santiago Spain through Portugal to Gibraltar again with many stops. Always had the streets big and small.

Martino, I'm not sure if it will work in Italy. All I know is that it works fine in Afghanistan. Regards.

I used it traveling from Germany to France just last december. Coming back to Germany i realized some major roads where outdated, it was as easy as hooking up the tomtom to my mac, create a username on the lifetime update for my unit and there, updated maps for free!!! Beware that they are quite heavy updates, so depending on your connection speed it may take a while.

If you bought the wifi module the cards are not needed. You will need to set up an account with ifit

Hi Diane - I believe you will need a converter or adapter in Italy as purchase the adapter is not included.

It's really just a Quick Start guide. I haven't tried downloading anything from their site. I agree with Greg, though, that the phone is relatively simple to deal with. I didn't end up using it on my most recent overseas trip (and I do not use it here in the States), so I can't comment on its use. It seems like a great pick, though, for international travel, which is why I bought it.

It is a quad band phone so it has two sim card slots, just get another simcard for the service that you will use in italy and you should be good to go.

If it goes to about 85% and never gets to France, that is just perfect. For heaven sakes do not rent a Never Lost from Hertz. It is an old TOM TOM and as we drove down the coast of Spain, last month, it put us 20 km off shore in the Med. You did good the 275T is absolutely great! If it breaks or goes goofy in Europe, department store in Europe have a Europesn Garmin that is about $139.00 US. When you get home add the USACities upgrade SD chip and do both.

I also have the 2008 maps. Rarely do I run into changes, and I doubt that you will in Italy. Eastern Europe can be more tricky though, there could have been more infrastructure changes.

Hi Saida. Yes, this should work in Italy because it's listed as working in the European Union.
