Will this work for our walking trip in southwest France?

Once it is acclimated to your area I do not know why it would not work. Let the satellelite orient and hike away. I like Garmin products, how ever I want to sell my 72 and buy one that has less features but is easier to operate one handed from horseback.

Its satellite based, it will work anywhere. During setup your need to set your region .

Yes, however I would really suggest, unless you are really familiar with the area you are in, that should you go to a slightly higher model one that has map capability. This model gives you all the basic information you need, coordinates and direction etc, but has no map capabilty, which means no map is shown in the window, just your current location coordinates and a direction arrow for the direction in which you need to go to get to where you want to go, but no map to show you where you are on a map. It is your choice.

I don't think it would Julie. It's not very durable... The one I purchased served its purpose for a 2 week trip abroad, but the snap broke on the last day of the trip. I used it to carry my phone, passport and cash. It was basically disposable - which was fine for the price.

Look at this website www.walkabouttravelgear.com You can buy a small plug power convertor to match your needs overseas. I hope this helps.

Yes it will fit, might be a little tight, but the radio will fit, my favorite for walking

Hi, I thought the screen was large enough for me and not too clunky to be portable. I field tested it and it worked perfectly in Germany, Belgium and Holland, so imagine it would work in France as well. The unit comes with a car charger but NOT a wall charger. Might want to get one of those. I kept it in a side pocket of my backpack and it was fine but you can always get a travel like pouch for added protection. You do have to tell the unit in which country you are in-it does not adjust automatically. It has a side port for an sd memory card and while it is a little tricky to spot it is there and I slipped inside an additional card in case I want to add any extras in the future. It worked for me and got me around. And now I use it in the States. Best of both worlds!

Yes, we brought it to London and France last August and it worked in both countries using an adapter to plug into their outlets.

If it is clothing or something soft, it would work very well. Heavy, sharp items might be a problem. It is sturdy and light. I keep it outside and use it for recycling plastics easily. Good luck on your trip.

The Garmin Nuvi 2797LMT will work great in France. European Maps do not come with this unit but they can be downloaded to the unit from the Garmin Website. Garmin offers 10 different maps for Europe and a street map for France will cost $69.99.

Yes it should do a great job of tracking your walks. I have never used it outside of the US so you will need to check if it works in Australia.

Yes it does, I used it in Paris and UK and found it easy to use. Be cautious when the device says "World Maps" because it does not work everywhere. Monaco is one place it did not work. Also, maps are difficult to download from Garmin and had to call in to tech service a few times to assist with the download. Good thing is the batteries last long.

Yes. We use it when traveling and it works well. I have not tried another one to compare.

Yes! We took it with us for a trip to France. It recently broke. Not sure how our son with with in-laws. And we bought another because it is so helpful when traveling.

Yes. I bought it to take when I am traveling. It works great. You just need a carry bag for it. It is not heavy just a little bulky.

Yes. We used it a few years ago on a trip to Scotland and besides working extremely well mapping on the road it is small enough to put in your pocket and use while walking.

Yes. It will do the job very well if you are travelling to European or Indian sub-continental..

Very accurate GPS. We used it throughout France last year and it worked exceptionally well.
