Our Comment

The nüvi 300 is preloaded with Ireland & UK maps.

Of all the GPS systems at the introductory/budget level, this system in our opinion is the best of the lot.  The mapping for Ireland is near 100%.  Like the nüvi 350, the units are trouble free, have a quality feel about them and are well designed.
