Euronics compares to US Best Buy stores but on a somewhat smaller scale. We visited this Lucca…read moreItaly location to buy a GPS with European maps.
We had been in Italy only a couple of days when we were quickly reminded that road signs are seriously lacking here.
My husband in particular has a great sense of direction but despite that, we simply got hopelessly lost on one of our first drives from Lucca to Volterra.
That drive, as it turns out, is actually ridiculously easy but the road signs were so terrible that we just got all jumbled up.
After stopping a couple of times to ask people on the street for help we were able to get there but not without a lot of wasted time and aggravation.
Later that night, once back in Lucca, we ran to Euronics for help.
The employee who assisted us was friendly and kind. He spoke little English and was forgiving of my intermediate Italian. With his help we left with a great GPS and car mount. That night, we were able to set it up by connecting it to a computer in our hotel and by the next morning we were in road trip heaven.
Euronoics and the new GPS were godsends and we thank the helpful man at Euronics for pointing us in the right direction. We will be sure to bring this on the trip we are planning to Lake Como next fall.
On another note, it was fun to wander around the store looking at all the European brands of refrigerators, stoves, and appliances.
