Satellite Reception fine in Paris4
The purpose of this review is simply to report that I purchased one of from Amazon in the US and used it for a day or two in Southern California where it worked fine, then took it to Paris, France where it also works just fine walking around. It's first satellite acquisition in the morning sometimes takes a couple minutes, but it always acquires, usually in a few seconds, even in narrow streets with buildings on either side.

I will note that there was an available firmware upgrade for mine that I installed before using it. I mentione this because possibly the issues others have with satellite acquisition are fixed with later firmware.

BTW I'm not new to GPS. This is about my 10th receiver, starting back with the Garmin GPS12; the point being I'm familiar with the norms for GPS performance.

Europe and US Maps / Great price5
So far I've used it in the US and France. The only issue I've had was that within Paris locking in to a satellite was sketchy, depending on what area of the city you are in. I had heard this from other reviews, so I pre-mapped certain areas by address before I arrived. That way, if I couldn't lock in real-time, I could at refer to the area map I had saved. Otherwise, have had excellent luck with mapping and re-routing in both US and Europe.

Good battery life, but would have been nice if Garmin had put an A/C charger in the kit. I am using a Griffin USB A/C charger which works fine. Despite the small drawbacks, for the price, it's a bargain.

Nuvi 2704
Good value for the price. European road database was complete for finding even small country roads, but often tries to send you the wrong way down a one-way street. (not a good idea in Rome)
