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.
