GPS uses USA satellites. Both Russia &amp; China have their own satellite system for geo location. Therefore would this GPS unit work in those countries?

This is a USA model and we are not sure that it will work in Russia and or China. The manufacturer did not test the units in those countries.

GPS signals are uniform across the entire planet. Since it's satellite based and doesn't depend on towers like cell phones there's no reason one country would have a weaker signal.

It will work anywhere in the world where you can get a satellite lock; it works in China, so there's a pretty good chance it'll work in India too. Getting maps for India... well, that's a different story. If you can enter coordinates manually (find them first using Google Earth), you can do without a digital map. Provided you get decent reception, it's very handy for basic orientation (East, West, North, South) and recording of aypoints.

Have not tried it. Since it works on GPS it would seem like it would. We have needed to change time zones with it It did change My IT guy figured out how to change it.

It gives Long-Lat position worldwide on land and sea but there is no hardware or software for maps. GPS location only.

Correct, but remember, the "place" is entered as a latitude and longitude in decimal format. Not a big deal if you observe from only one or two places, but a great help if you get around. No need to look up the latitude and longitude or keep a list of them. Just start an alignment, wait a bit for the device to read the satellites signal, then align as usual. I like mine and recommend it.

I did a little research, and came to the conclusion that it most likely will, on the basis that the watch connects with satellite to determine your distance. So, it wouldn't matter where you're at on the globe as long as it is able to make that connection. But with all GPS devices, it's reliability is determined by it's ability to get a good signal which can be hampered by cloudy days, or trying to get a GPS lock from indoors. As long as you are outdoors and it's relatively clear, it should work anywhere.

Sorry, I dont know. Becouse I test it in Thailand (some operators works, some not) and in Russia (MTS works).

Actually I'm using this GPS in Mexico, I know that this GPs works only in USA , Canada and Mexico. Pienso que no se puede descargar algún otro Mapa de otro país.

Yes, The GPS works on anyplace on the earth since you are outside and sometimes works inside the house too (trough the window).About accuracy: I don't know if Brazil has a Station on Earth to better accuracy (WAAS) but I do exercise on Curitiba-PR many times a year whena go to visit my mom and I feel very comfortable with accuracy.... If I've crossed the street it is show me on map or Google Earth that I have changed the sidewalk. That's is fair enough to me....

If we're talking raw position data I would assume it would since the device is using GPS Satellites to fix its location. After that it depends on what you will be using it for. If it's for an iPad then that would depend on what GPS application you would be using. Apps like Waze or Google Maps will draw on the internet for information about what's around you relative to the location the device is giving the iPad so as long as the iPad has an internet connection it should work. Different types of Garmin apps will use information loaded directly onto the device so it will depend on what version you have. For example Garmin USA would probably not work in Europe since while it would know where you are via the Mkii's GPS fix it wouldn't know what's around you and couldn't draw your map as it wouldn't have that info required to do so.

Not in the US. The European version has GPS, but the US version does not Joseph May Techtrackr.com

The answers below I believe to be incorrect. GPS is global positioning by satellites. The satellite signals you can get essentially anywhere in the world (yes these are military based) and the phone/tablet knows its position. The problem is that to be useful you need a map (you know the picture with roads and what not). Google maps comes through internet (WiFi or cellular signal) and is not stored locally so it won't work. However, there are lots of apps that download maps and store them locally on the device. With this method the GPS will work fine for routing from New York to California and anywhere else you have maps for.

Hello Derick. I am sorry I have not responded before.Yes you can. The GPS is programmed to use Lat and Long and UTM co-ordinates.

I can't imagine it wouldn't work anywhere in the world, as long as there is a satellite for it. Can't tell you for sure, though, because my travels are limited to the western US. Purchase it through Amazon and return it if it does not.

Hi, it will work in China, Russia, Japan, Mongolia and all over the world, but it will never work on Verizon because Verizon is not GSM carrier, it is CDMA. in USA it will work with tmobile and ATT.

I'm not really sure, I returned this GPS because it wasn't for North America. They left that little detailed out
