GPS SD Card
The SD card works fine. One problem I had is this is a micro SD
card so it needs an adapter to fit in the SD card slot on my
Garmin GPS. The micro SD card came in a Garmin package but no
adapter. There was an empty space in the package where it looks like their should have been an adapter. I was leaving for Spain the day
after I rcvd the sd card so I had to go to radio shack to buy an
adapter. The company needs to specify whether the package contains
and adapter or if you need to purchase it separately.

Worked Fine
It was exactly as expected and helped me get all around Athens. I did not use it around other areas of Greece or at all in Italy (yet). With it's network of roads downtown it was able to get me from point A to point B knowing the one-way streets. The only drawback was that it doesn't react as quickly as I hoped as it has to read from the SD card so there are slight delays.

I think it's great because you can go off the beaten path and know you can get to your destination.

Worth every penny I paid and then some....
Just returned from a two week driving trip thru northern Italy and used my Garmin NUVI 350 with the SM card for Italy - I would have been extremely frustrated if I did not have this navigational device with me every time we entered one of the major cities...It took us to each hotel (or other attraction we were trying to locate) even when we missed turns etc...I would highly recommend this to anyone unfamiliar with driving in Italy - it's worth the and more..

Dont leave home without it.
Let's be up front about this. Maps, GPS, directions from the guy on the street, you're going to eventually get lost driving in a foreign country where you don't speak the language. That being said I can not adequately express the joy and lack of tension I felt driving in Tuscany while we had our Garmin City Navigator of Italy and Greece. The criticisms mentioned in Irina's review just prior to this one are all true, but in the end, so what. On those occasions where the data did not have the new off ramp or entrance to the I22 or the creation of the new roundabout in Siena you simply press detour and in about 5 seconds the new route is calculated. For me the beauty of this product was that in the end I knew it would get me there. Maybe it didn't seem to be the best route, but I could certainly not have done better with a map and my wife calling out directions. The only thing I would be aware of is the old - garbage in garbage out - advice. How you get there will be determined to a great extent on how precise your end location address is. If you are going to Florence but don't know the address of the parking garage, there is only so much the Garmin can do for you. (Been there, done that.) A couple of hints. 1. When in doubt, zoom out on the map, click on the location you are headed to and save. Some locations just don't appear in the address list no matter how many times you try to type in the name. I found this was often due to my misunderstanding of how towns, cities, and streets were categorized. That being said once I found the location on the map I was usually given the proper name and was able to find it in the data base; 2. The "attractions" section has a wonderful supply of information, including parking garages in the cities - found that one out too late; 3. If you are lost or get to an unidentified one way street, be quick with the detour button (menu - detour), it will save you a lot of time; 4. If you are taking a long drive, double check. Plot the route on the Garmin, then zoom out and use the touch screen to drag the map from beginning to end. Make sure that you and the GPS are in agreement as to where you are going. Had that problem going to the Coast. We were about 10 minutes away and the GPS took us up a mountain - as my wife said, this doesn't look like the beach. My fault since I had used the incorrect ending address so therefore, finally; 5. Bring a map - what can I say.

Even if you buy this, still have with you a regular map!
Oddly, the Product Details do not contain a very important piece of information: the map version. I suspect this Product is the same "CN Europe NT Italy and Greece Version 9" map that was available last year on just SD card (but not microSD). If so, I have a couple of comments regarding it.
My opinion, based on our 2007 trip to Tuscany, is: it certainly is a useful product but you cannot always rely on it. Even if you have this product and a GPS with you, still take along a good road atlas (such as Atlante Stradale d'Italia) for global route planning, and, wherever you plan to stay or visit more than once, always try to get a detailed local map.
Now some particular examples:
The V9 map was already noticeably obsolete in 2007. It was missing some new rotaries and ramps and some newly build highway extents. Once we missed our exit because of that.
Some places of interest were located incorrectly on the map. E.g. the railroad station in Poggibonsi, Tuscany, is located on the map on the wrong side of the tracks. The GPS brought us to a place from where there was no access to the station, no parking etc. When we realized what happened and manually directed the GPS to take us to the spot on the opposite side of the tracks, the GPS navigated us to a tunnel that we could not even enter because it was one way (the wrong way for us). Luckily, we had a local map that we used to find another railroad crossing! (I guess I could try the GPS "Detour" button and may be that would work out, but at the time I was just fed up with it!)
I could list many other annoying quirks some of which could be attributed to the map data (which I guess is produced by NAVTEQ) and some to the Garmin navigation system, but that would not be appropriate for this brief review.
And, of course, there were many cases when everything worked flawlessly and the product was of great help.

Plug and don't get lost
The Garmin City Navigator SD data card for Europe was an excellent addition to my garmin. The maps were up to date and I had no problem navigating around Germany using the Data Card. Great buy!!

nuvi 260 GPS europe map very helpful
We have just returned from 2 weeks of driving in France. The European SD card with the Europe maps for our Nuvi 260 was the best travel investment we made. I was able to drive with the confidence that if lost I could count on the GPS (we nicknamed the voice Molly) to get us to our hotel or our goal that day. Also it made driving in Paris to return our car far less stressful. If you are driving in Europe I would strongly recommend one. They were offered with our rental car for an extra a day so the investment in our own was worth it.

Not Very Useful if You're Walking
I bought a Garmin Nuvi 260w as a portable device to take on a walking vacation in the UK. I bought the plug-in card with the Europe maps.
The GPS unit is marketed as a portable unit with auto, pedestrian and cycling set-up options. We were using it for hiking and I assumed the maps would be pre-loaded with the major walking trails and footpaths but it isn't. If you're walking in the UK, you'd be better off with an ordnance survey map which shows the official footpaths.

worked in Germany
Was very useful Germany. It guided us around roundabouts, and even had tiny one lane farm roads in it. Was not entirely up to date but that didn't cause any problems. Can set the Garmin to "pedestrian" to use in the city.

Of no use in Brazil
The Brazilian map is of no use. I live here and used it on approx. 1'000 miles.
a) In the city, streets are lacking, have outdated intersections, returns etc. And the map is constantly off some 100 ft.
b) On the countryside the situation is even worse: the location of the streets, cities, intersections is off by several miles. Existing streets are missing, streets on the map are inexistent.
Result in both cases: The routes created by the GPS device are simply wrong. The wrong position causes the device to constantly recalculate the route (as it sees itself never at the actual location) in another wrong way. As for the wrong maps: I "cruised" miles over the sea (in my car), on the other side, the ferry boat Salvador-Itaparica "drove" on land. Cities are on the wrong side of a river (imagine in a country where a bridge may be an issue of 100 miles and up!). If I had followed the routes calculated by Garmin, I would have had to dissemble the car: the only way to follow Garmin's route would have been by a canoe ferry.
Even as a compass it is unusable: E.G. In case you are driving west (miles south of the road shown on the map) and you are approaching a road coming from the south, getting closer to this "southern road" than your actual "western road", the device thinks that you are driving north on the "southern road". Confusing? Yes that's what it is all about. You are constantly busy thinking "what does it show, what could that mean?".
Don't waste your time!

Body
I have been enjoying the vitabath fresh citrus. If you enjoy a nice sensation and something to have a clean smell when you have finishing showering this is one the fragrance I would recommend.

vitabath
a special kind of bath solution I was unable to find in area stores........the order was quick and shipping was solid and fast.........

relax
I enjoyed the relaxing feeling I got when I used the vitabath spa, skin therapy. I would use this product again.

vita bath gelee
this was efficient, quickly handled and a joy to my sister who was the recipient of the gift.. I will be back!!!

...........being clean & green...............
.......been using Vitabath Shower Gelee/ Spring Green for years....
I've been been clean & green and would NEVER use any other soap!

Incredibly Fresh Scent and Easy on Sensitive Skin

This product is just top-notch. I hesitated before I ever bought it--the price, ouch, the price!--but when I finally caved about three years ago, I was sorry I didn't splurge sooner.

The smell is unbeatable. By far my favorite shower smell--herbally, clean, fills room with just this lovely greeny beaut of a scent. It reminds me, somehwhat, of the original Herbal Essence shampoo smell (before they went to various too-sweet formulations). That shampoo was too drying, but it had a killer perfume.

Also, Vitabath is easy on the skin. I have super-sensitive skin--multiple allergies, a wacky immune system that is hyperreactive. I can't wear most make-up. I can't use most soaps. I tend to stick with just three that dont' make me get itchy with dermatitis: Cetaphil, Dr. Bronner's mint, Vitabath green.

Now, I'm a gal. We like to smell nice. Showering with Cetaphil, while gentle to the epidermis, is so boring. Dr. Bronner's mint--a marvelously cost-effective and cleasnsing formulation that leaves you squeaky clean, minty fresh, and makes for a gazillion bubbles on the sponge or towel--is fun for casual. But when you want to smell pretty and fresh (but not like GUM or TOOTHPASTE), Vitabath Green is it.

It doesn't make me itch, break out, or sneeze. It leaves me soft. It leaves me smelling like a goddess.

What's not to love?

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for anyone who can afford the price. (Wish it were less pricey.)

Vitabath is back
I had not been able to find this for 3-4 years until now. It's great stuff. Although it's expensive per ounce, you only need a small amount for a full lather.
