No I do not think so. You might just change the battery on your old one and it might fix it.

I do not think it will since the maps are for US and Canada. Unless you can verify that you can load up the maps for your country.

I have a life time map upgrade so my maps are current to the last update, 2014 I believe. Note that the memory limitation of 2 GB does not allow me to put the entire map data base in the unit at once. I need to segment it, but this is easy to do with Garmin's Express loader. Yes, my unit came new with the mount and charger. Good luck.

mine would not work, had to send it back. i am in europe now and would recommend you get a different brand. its not a very good gps. all the maps are outdated. sorry, wish i would have bought something else. when i sent mine back it took a couple of weeks and they sent a refurbished unit. bad news...

I used it without updates in Germany, Austria, and the Czech Republic in 2010 and it worked fine. It does get confused in the historic areas of hill towns. I don't think the update would make a difference. I would bet it will be OK 95 percent of the time. You can always stop and get directions. Would not want to go back to trying to get around without one.

GPS works worldwide, but you would need European maps, not US/Canada/Mexico. I don't know about availability for NI. Be careful if buying online to get the maps you want, or you may end up spending extra to get them. The 540 does not support removable memory cards.

I just bought 255w at Amazon but it shipped by another vendor and I just found out It did not have a new map version.How do I update the map(package did not have USB cable and where can I find the Usb cable) I thought If I buy it from Amazon web site all GPS should go with new map.I'm confuse.I need some experts to help me out. Thanks,

Not sure if it fits the 1300/1350 but I had a Nuvi 660 before and replaced it with a 3595 so I bought the cradle for a 2595 and removed 2 bolts and replaced with the 2595 cradle, it was simple.

It is a V2 AP-SUB-003 Version 2b. I just opened mine yesterday. Its not completely up to the minute, it had v.300 maps loaded and I downloaded the v.301 maps from COBB's site. Worked fine on my 2009 OBXT.

I do not know for sure. When I first got it it seemed to run fine with US and Canada base maps that came from factory. I updated those using the Garmin updater software tool. I put a 4gb micro SD card it it from my old unit but have never seen any indications that I really needed it. Try the Garmin website if you need more info. I am very happy with the thing. Bigger screen and faster, better menu system them my old unit.Good luck

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.

I believe you can purchase the 2497LMT with lifetime maps and traffic for Europe, Andrea. I have the U.S. version and really like it. Hope it works out well for you.

I am not sure, I haven't looked for it. Check the feature/details of the unit and see if it includes Europe. Updates are free as are downloads so you may just have to download the Europe maps and be good to go. If you just go on the Garmin site you can look up the features of every gps unit they sell including those that are no longer sold to see what it included as a feature. I do recall the 2577LT as having the ability for Europe but I would not want to say for sure.

Oh yeah. I have an 810. Works great. The turn by turn sometimes isn't all that but not a consequence of the added map. Probably a consequence of the device.

My garman is far better....

Well, I need to do that myself as well. I did buy European maps when I lived there. I am technologically challenged, so my great assistant helped me try to install the map from online. We tried to download the European map which did not work, so I bought the SD card/chip for about $100. Not sure this was helpful at all.
