Using the i-gotU GT-120 in Europe and South America: Any knows what are the GPS/Satellite limitations for this unit?

I believe all GPS satellites have orbits that cover the entire inhabited World. The i-gotU devices work fine in Europe--I've never been to South America but they did work in Belize and Mexico.

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.

A friend of mine took one of this SD cards loaded with maps to Bolivia, Peru, Chile and Argentina, his GPS is a Garmin though! working without any problems

It does have GPS capability. I've used it in Antarctica. Can be turned on and off in settings/location services.

i'm using it in bahrain..so another middle east user. Anyhow, it's worked great to date. I lost satellite reception one time beside a building.

It sure indeed is a brilliant forum. I´ve looked for my answer there and from what I learned the device I was actually looking for was C310 and not C310x. A software hack was required in order to read the ROM so I gave up on this unit and chose a NAV200 from Delphi which stores all its maps in the external SD card thus making it much simpler to switch to maps from other countries. I also had to consider the fact that navteq, route 66 and destinator are the only available providers of maps to Brazil and US (the countries I need).

The unit could be used world wide except in war zones there the GPS could be distorted. However if you buy the unit bundled with the maps (version that ends on t) the topo-map will be specific for your country.

I live in the caribbean and it works great.I really don't know in southamerica. Check the satellites you have available in your area ( I use 110 and 119 but works with others).

GPS satellites don't turn themselves off when they're over other countries, and countries don't want them to so they can be used worldwide. It's sort of like asking "will my radio be able to receive a Detroit station from when I'm in Windsor?"

Not to work as a GPS unit in your vehicle, just plug it into the lighter and it works off the satellites. You'll only need an internet connection to register the unit and update maps.

I m living in Argentina, and the DVD works fine, i guess we are in the same region. I tried to run the TV, but i could not set it up propperly. You can set it up, into Pal, pal N ( Argentina ), NTSC, etc but the tuner keeps serching for the tv chanels. I didn t really tried much to make it work better, as its not a future that i really use. The GPS, is rare, it works with the IGO 8 system, i found some trouble to find maps in Argentina, but the good news is that there are maps, for Brazil. If you are used to go around with GARMIN, you will probably not like this IGO 8. The other futures, are very good, the color screen, radio, etc.

I live in Paraguay (South America), here the machine works very good, we use the AMAZONAS 61ºwest, and STARONE70ºwest.....i think you can use that satfinder in usa....

Only if you have European maps loaded. I used an older version, the 350, in London, in 2010, with the London map loaded in it. It seemed to have more difficulty finding its location there than in the US. I used the current version in the Bahamas a few weeks ago. The Bahamas are part of the North American maps. It usually worked as about fast as it did in the states, but occasionally it seemed a bit slower to respond. I'm not sure why that would be. I'm guessing that the Garmin GPSs for North America searches for satellites based on the assumption that one is in the US, first, and then broadens the search when it doesn't locate itself in the US. Being that the newer one is more powerful than my six year-old device, it was quicker to locate the satellites. Other than that, it worked fine.

Yes, any where there is a GPS signal, it works. Have used it in Germany, France, and USA. the Caribbean definitely has GPS.

I just brought that GPS (eTrex Legend Cx) also how much memory does the stock 32mb give in terms of mapping area? Also, do you know if the mapping of the topo and North America V7 work jointly?

Well buddy I'm not sure where you can download the information or maps I have never had to but I looked up on GPS and found WWW.navngo.com I will check and see if there's a Venezuela update I live in the USA in Illinois I Drive a truck it works great up here these are the man that I have already program from the factory on here Argentina by TomTom . basemap by Nima I have Brazil by TomTom.. I have Canada by ww.nnd.com ... I have chili by TomTom

According to the official web site (http://global.mobileaction.com/product/product_i-gotU_USB.jsp, see System requirements) it does not. It specifies "&#9726;PC with Windows 7, 2000, XP, Vista" and "PC with USB 1.1 or 2.0". A review of the GT-120 unit even mentions that the software is not available for Mac.
