Pablo, I have used mine in Colombia, Argentina and Chile. The accuracy is as good as anywhere else in the world. The map detail deppends on the map itself. In Colombia you can get a map from www.micropartes.com it has good detail but also some errors. In Argentina and Chile the maps are very accurate but I don't know the sources of those maps.

I have never had my Garmin outside the US. You should probably as the Garmin Company your question.

It doesn't have at least for South America. Bought one and returned: didn't started. Many people faced the same problem. Just ask google.

I've got one purchased in Chile. I live in Brazil. I've used mine in Chile, Argentina, Uruguai, the US and in Brazil obviously. All features have always worked fine. Even its GPS.

No, I didn't get an answer.However, I went ahead and bought the Garmin 275 unit. I've tried it in France only so far. It worked "fine" with a few glitches. Like slowness in picking up satellites (and the inability to do so in closed buildings/tunnels).And having some street names saved with a different spelling than what seems to be the "well-known/correct" spelling (like the spelling of the street address on the hotel website. This caused me to be unable to find the address on the device. It took me considerable time to figure it out!).

Ok. I've looked into this just a little further. You have to buy a GPS that accepts "City Navigator, North America", which is an add-on map on a micro SD card. It's 79.00 from Garmin.

https://pioneer.naviextras.com/shop/portal https://pioneer.naviextras.com/shop/portal/downloadsYou need to download a SW (no Mac, just Windows) and then download the updates for free. You can also buy maps from another regions, but very expensive comparing to Garmin.There are limited areas maps, I can't find for example South America, just Brazil.

Yes, it works! but you MUST install the map of the area. I'm using this system in Colombia, but before using it I installed my country's map. The seller may pre-install the map for you, if you ask him when you place the order.

Im pretty sure the unlocked mobile will work in Per, Colombia and Costa Rica. But you can take a look in the website to be sure about the frequencies and bands in Canada and compare with technical data from Amazon store http://www.worldtimezone.com/gsm.html

You can buy maps for just about any country. Garmin supports over 100. The basic one comes with US and Canada but you can specify Brazil when you order. You can also buy maps for other countries as you need it. I bought the unit with NA but later on added EU and Japan. You can decide which map to use by downloading it using the PC or MAC app. Hope this helps

I need to purchase a handheld gps and download maps for Chile and Argentina road navigation and would appreciate advice from those who've used them. Which Garmin unit might be easy to learn for someone who's only used gps in a car?

I am sorry but I really don't know about Central or South America but I would not recommend a Garmin at all get a Tom Tom or some other device check the reviews
