Hello guys!
As the title says, I'm searching for real experiences with the Garmin overlander specifically in Europe.
Navigation quality, ease of use, data accuracy and so on.

I don't want to discuss the thing itself or possible other ways to navigate as this has been done before.

Best regards
Mathias

So, I've never been to Europe. However, I owned one in the US and I absolutely hated it. Give the quality of maps available in the US I would think Europe would be similar. I do not recommend it.

I assume you are talking about the topo maps right?

Both parts of it. When running it next to gaia there was stuff on gaia that garmin didn't even show. I liked the iOverlander feature of the garmin but that went away for some reason which rendered it useless to me. I tried to like it given what I spent on it but ended up selling it anyway.
