+Lineman101 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 We're heading for Italy and France in November and would like to do a little caching while there. I bought a refurbished City Navigator Europe micro sd card on ebay. Has anybody used one of these and if I load a pocket querie will the caches show up on a detailed map with the sd card inserted in my e-trex 20. Thanks in advance for any info I can get.

RuideAlmeida Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 (edited) Yes. No problem. PS: Assuming that you already tested your CN Europe at home... Edited June 7, 2015 by RuideAlmeida Quote Link to comment
+Gitchee-Gummee Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 eBay, eh? Well... assuming that you didn't get ripped off on the purchase of that card (happens fairly often with those eBay purchases*), it should function as it does locally for any other mapping program. Hopefully you purchased one that wasn't a COPY. Not ALL eBay purchases are bad, just as not all eBay purchases are good. *copies of copy-protected cards don't always go as planned.

alandb Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I was thinking the same thing .... not sure how one would "refurbish" a pre-installed map micro SD card Quote Link to comment
+splashy Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 (edited) There are not refurbished SD cards, it might be an (old?) Garmin sd card with a CN Europe on it. For Europe you might be better of with an OSM = Open Street Map, more data, more accurate and FREE. Before leaving test your map (search address and test a route in the countries you are going to, in the Gps. The gps might see a map, but that doesn't mean the map is actually there or complete.

Good info. Can't thank you enough. Quote Link to comment
+Lineman101 Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 Well the SD card came in and I put it into my e-trex 20 with a PQ of Venice, Italy And it works great. Thanks for all the input. Quote Link to comment
