Judy, There is a slight difference in Europe verses the US when it comes to the GPS item called WAAS. those are the ground based stations that add some accuracy when they can be picked up. They are called WAAS in the US and EGNOS in Europe. When you see WAAS reported with your GPS accuracy, and you are in Europe, that actually means you are picking up EGNOS, which results in the same benefit. Maps of course vary from town to town as do points of interest data.

Do you have more commercial poi's?? Does anyone know if my receiver which gets American satelites will get good coverage. I will be in both Britain and Scotland. Most of my time will be spent in Aberdeen. Does anyone live in that area who has direct information? Thanks in advance, Judy
