Both the GPS units we had on our trip failed eventually.
Oddly, the 2610 with European mapping did routing as far as Ekaterinberg (major roads only). My 276c with City Nav 2008 didn't. Anyhow, don't rely on a GPS for two reasons -
1. the roads are hard on kit and it might well fail
2. it'll display the info in Anglic & the signs will be in Cyrillic
I strongly, strongly urge you get a good Russian map. I took this one. Don't be tempted to get the English version, you really need the Cyrillic place names.
