I want to know if I can put a Garmin navigator micro sd in my samsung grand prime and use it for GPS in Ireland?

Okay, I guess I am confusing the two. Someone said they bought it and had great success with it. But I guess it is to put into a Garmin device which then is the GPS?? Thanks

That's what it looks like.

I have an older Nuvi that I will be replacing. The map update is 70ish bucks and a new Nuvi is always around 99 bucks with Lifetime maps.

I can't guess what you feel is best but next time I think I'm edging up to the 200 buck model.

Since we are talking about Nuvi now... do you have any idea which model is best? Do I need bluetooth?
