Does anyone have any experience with the GPS overseas (Europe)? Looking to purchase but not if it won't work where we live in the EU. Thanks for any help!

Yes, I used it when I went running over vacation in Paris and London. It worked in both areas.

dear Anth, I am so sorry, but i don't know. First I purchased a "map" for a Garmin, and didn't have a Garmin, so i returned it. Then I purchased a used Garmin with Europe in it, and took it to Europe May 1 to 30 2013, and used it with my google maps i paid for on my Verizon cell phone. i often used them both to find things, along with the map i got from AAA. Best of luck! Susan

I am going to Italy and bought the 1370T. I planned to use in pedestrian mode as well as for driving. I've tested it several times in pedestrian mode in a couple of different locations and it failed every time. Sent me in the opposite direction, missed turns, and doesn't recalculate on it's own. You have to go back to the main screen and do it manually. I don't know - maybe I got a lemon. I'm leaving in less than 2 weeks. I'll either return it and try another unit or hope it works better in driving mode. I was looking at the Tom Tom XLL, which also has European maps preloaded, but it gets mixed reviews as well. Seems a perfect GPS is yet to be created. I am going to Italy and bought the 1370T. I planned to use in pedestrian mode as well as for driving.

Hmm i guess it says there is GPS in the title. How does it work?? I have this product. I also don't know how to update the information.

Cool, thanks. It looks like this is exactly the phone I have been holding out for: GPS, awesome camera, etc...Does the GPS work flawlessly right out of the box, or are updates necessary?

RE: Rod: Can you answer this question about Garmin nuvi 3790T 4.3-Inch...?Roderick Ferguson 11:36 AM To: "Amazon Answers" <answers@amazon.com>Your best bet is to google Garmin and ask them. They might be able to download the Aussie stuff for you over the internet.These things are getting cheaper every day, so you might have to make your case with Garmin and have them send you a "sympathy" GPS at a super low price as an apology to their of global flexibility.

Typically, you update the unit for free once after purchase so they should be completely up to date. My best advice is to use the unit out of the box first without updates. It should have some maps in it and work, even if all roads aren't current. If it works as advertised, go ahead and update your U.S. maps right away then update the European maps about a month before your trip. If it doesn't work out of the box, return it and get a new unit right away. Some of the units have problems, it's best to get rid of the lemons immediately rather than try to fix them (I had this problem with a TomTom, once I sent it in for repairs - and they sent me a different unit back - I could no longer get a refund.

Well, the one I bought has only North America and Europe Maps preloaded on it, and these can be updated regularly. You should contact Garmin directly through their website to inquire if you can upload maps from other regions onto the unit. Good luck.

I found that the 3rd party maps ordered at a greatly discounted price does not allow for updates of maps. I guess if it came with the maps preloaded you would get the lifetime updates (LM). I currently have the European maps and get the updates. Did you purchase the unit with LM designated behind model number?

Spy Tec has mentioned back on the April 9th that they should have it for sale separately in about a week or so. http://forum.dashcamtalk.com/threads/marcus-1-or-3-anyone-got-them-in-stock-yet-shipping-to-usa.4886/#post-59201 Post # 15 here Also be aware that the GPS looks like it will not function until you install the newer firmware do to be released soon.

sorry, can't help you there. I have only used this GPS in the US. You will probably have to do some research with Mio directly to answer your question.

I hate to be a bummer but if you purchased in within the last 30 days return it! buy a real GPS. They will not take it back after 30 days and they are no help at the company with assistance.

I just ordered straight from Garmin and was told that this unit specifically has Europe and North America Pre-loaded, but to get lifetime traffic you have to pay separately. Sounds like the people who have purchased and received it do not have both Europe and N.A. pre-loaded?

My garmin was loaded with the maps of Europe. I do not know how it was done because I bought it used from Amazon. Sorry that I can not answer your question. I questioned the seller to make sure it had european maps because I needed it for my vacation. I use to get the same GPS with my car rental from kemwel.com and they would give me the same garmin with european maps for $40. I go to Europe 2 times a year so I figured it would be cheaper to buy a GPS.

Mine worked in Europe in every country I visited, Prague, Switzerland, Germany, France and even worked in Costa Rica. It wasn't great in Costa Rica as I havent updated the maps since 2009. Mine worked! I am not sure if it will work in Ireland you may want to check the specs, the maps online but I did get the one that specifically said European maps.

Darn it, I have never tried the gps; however, I have found customer service at 5 Star to be very helpful. Also, please consider if you find the gps is not satisfactory, return the unit to Amazon or go ahead and buy it from a local Walmart for a bit higher cost, try it out and see what happens. BTW, I only need to charge my unit once each week and the provided test to check the unit works quite well. I like mine and the only negative in the experience is that in 5 Star advertisement, they really should note that a monthly tax will be added just like any telephone system. Mine adds about $3.Harry Darn it, I have never tried the gps; however, I have found customer service at 5 Star to be very helpful.

Why does this get such negative reviews? Seems logical to get the most recent model in most tech things. We're buying our first gps, and need europe maps. Is the 765, 775, or 275 better?
