The full sized chip is just an adapter

I reviewed this item on 3/1 and gave it one star because I had gotten two copies of it and both were duds. I got the third one today and called garmin before trying to install it. Here's what I found out. The manufacterer in Taiwan recently changed the product, and the tech support people just realized it a day or two ago, having been bombarded with phone calls. There is a full sized chip and a microchip for different products. Previously, both had the data. Now, the full size chip is nothing but an adapter. You slide the microchip into a slot on the big one, and then put it into the SD slot. It loaded fine, and my wife is pleased. Avoid tearing your hair out.

Purchased the Language translator 2 weeks ago, installed it and it worked perfectly... integrated fine ($67.00).

Purchased the POI for Europe (This product) last week. I expected the same level of integration and use, but found that a bit lacking.

I have tried to use it about 4 or 5 times but became frustrated as it does not seem to "integrate" with the existing Garmin POI in the unit.

To access the ($127.00) European POI, I think, but am not yet sure that you may have to go to a function or menu option for the POI, and search it manually based on the name of the business, restaurant or location.

If this is the case, it is NOT recommended. If the POI are not placed ON the map in the device, and all you have is an alphabetical listing that you search AFTER you find a POI that you want data on ... well then this is definately not worth what I paid for it.

I thought that the software (which loads automatically into the Garmin Nuvi when you insert the card and turn it on), would interface directly into the system. I thought that when you are displaying a European map, the additional POI, along with pertinant data on the POI woild automatically show up on the map in ADDITION to the existing POI that comes pre-installed with the map.

As there are NO instructions on the card, or in the system for using the European POI, I am at a loss as to how it works until I have the time to spend with it understanding how it interfaces.

This is not good, there is no intuitiveness built into this particular Garmin software, and it is confusing as to how it can cost so much, and yet seem to deliver so little.
