You should ask Garmin as they would have to have the maps you need to load to use it there.

No. That's a separate purchase. However the device can use the maps from OpenStreetMap. Plenty of instructions on the web on how to do it. I use OSM maps and they work fine.

No, it has US maps only. If you want Europe maps you will need to buy them separately.It looks like that in US this model is named "VIA 1400M" and Europe it has name "Start 20"

Yes you can use OSM maps, I use it all over Asia and it works for me, after you install the map on the card and insert the card on your device you have to go to setting / Activity Profiles / Train / Navigation / Map / Map Information / then find your map there click on and enable it. Not very practical but this is how Garmin hide the map. Hope it helps

Yes additional maps can be purchased online by connections you device to your computer using the included USB cable and then downloading Tomtoms software, through which you setup an account and go to the tomtom web site. There are a number of different EU maps - northern, western, south etc with different features and map detail.

Hi, ocean,I don't know whether it contains Europe maps. It died even when I was trying to update US maps, not saying Europe maps. I don't recommend this unit AT All.

The countries you mentioned should not be an issue. The only time you may see major differences that matter are in countries like Ireland, Spain and in some areas of the UK where they have built a lot of roads in the last few years. My recommendation would be to have a paper map as a back up in case you find some differences. Italy paper maps are on Amazon, however if the others are an issue print Maps.Google of the area you plan to travel in. The 270 is one of the easiest ones to use. I would definitely pre-load destinations in the USA as much as possible. We always take paper maps anyway because sometimes there are road choices that might take you a different way. Remember the "fastest" and "shortest" option can really change your route, be sure you know which one is selected. Good Luck. P.S. before you buy new maps check out the price of a new unit with updated maps. Maps use to be very expensive.

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

I have the Australian version and it has maps of both cities and the road system all across Australia. I can navigate anywhere outside cities using it just like within the USA.

the person who said he was never offered european updates must have not asked when he had his european maps loaded. Mine is now 7 years old, much abused and may have just failed today. The reason that I am visiting now. It doesn't have enough internal memory to handle both map sets, but there is a slot for a memory card. Plug one in and all will be well. I get off the plane turn it on and it asks for the other set. I say yes and it happens.

Yes. You will need the maps for Europe. Below is a list of areas covered in Europe. If you can not specify what region you want when ordering, you will just connect your device to your computer and download the maps you require via the Tom Tom homepage. the As far as the technology working it is a GPS so it is operating on an array of satellites so it really doesn't matter where you are on earth. Hope this helps.

Absolutely. It doesn't come with an auto map, so you may have to map it or just track down a mapping online.
