How recent are European maps in this unit?

I bought my GPA in 2010 but it has been used several times since then and worked fine. I am going to Italy in a few weeks and someone told me they thought I could update the maps before I left.

My guess is that they will be behind by one version at least. I've never bought a GPS that didn't need an update after purchase. Easy to update via web access and generally free initially at least.

Hello Chelsea, Mine bought in the US didn't have it, but it should probably exist some plan with European maps. Regards Michel

As far as I know it has maps of North America, but I didn't check for which countries when I updated the maps

You will not need to upgrade your maps. Things do not change in Europe as they do here. I would suggest you preload your destinations here so that when your feet hit the ground turn on your GPS and go. I used those maps in October 2010 with no problems.

This Garmin nuMap (010-11045-05) is ONLY a one-time update of the European road maps. You must have a previous version already installed on your gps. Check out this link: https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/on-the-road/discontinued/nuvi-855/prod33922.html

Yes and no. I received an email for the latest maps and they (all in one file for N. America) came on a CD for only $7 shipping. It is a strong update. You can also download maps of Europe, etc. right through the excellent TomTom Home software. It is simple to install the data onto one or more SD cards. You have to keep careful track of your serial number (it's not hard to find on the unit) to install updates, since they only work with your particular unit, as a way to prevent piracy. Customer service is very friendly and helpful, though if you have any problems.

The map are loaded on this unit. The maps are from 2010. I would recommend getting the life time updates for 100.00 bucks that way you will be up to date with road in the US. P.Hansen

I believe that for a fee, you can download Europe Maps from Garmin. I'm sure this takes time, as updates take a few hours over hi speed internet.

No you don't download European maps. But be warn the batteries does not stay charged on the unit. If I could return it I would.

Not so fast. I purchased the unit back in March of 2015 and the European maps were NOT PRELOADED. I had to contact TOMTOM customer service and send them proof of purchase. MAJOR HASSLE. I ended up returning the unit. Happens too often that vendors on Amazon have a poor understanding of the product they are selling.

There is no discernible copyright date that I can find after a long perusal of my globe. Mapmakers do not wish to be pinned down else the purchasers might actually think it was up to date. It is, however, quite recent enough for my needs. I would estimate post 2000.

European maps are about $89. The question is does this GPS have sufficient memory to add a European map? Some of the earlier models let you add an SD card. I don't think this one does.

I will install the international map for you. Just tell me with country you need when you order it. Thank you

My maps are from 2010 and I am traveling all over Germany, Italy, Eastern France and Austria with no problems. Even down to the very small towns.

There were no European maps on this unit. You can check the description on garmin.com to check that.

Hello, Thank you for your request. Austria is already installed on this unit and therefore you do not have to buy a separate map.

I'm not sure as I removed all the Europe maps to make more room for favourites
