Does this work in Europe if we purchase SD card from Garmin?

Yes, if you purchase the SD card with Europe maps. I personally went to local office supply store and got a great deal on a blank SD card, then downloaded the maps, leaving room for other maps if necessary. I recently used these maps in the UK and they worked perfectly. I was a bit disappointed when I bought this Garmin and it did not even have sufficient space internally to download the maps.

We have one we bought in Europe on base that works here it came with both European and North American cards it cost us extra but it does work and has life time updates. All I can tell you is just double check with the company. Good luck. :)

This unit can work anywhere once the software for your country is available. The SD card is optional based on whatever you want to download to the device. At present I don't use an SD card even though there is the option to insert one.

Yes. Used for both of our 1450 Garmin units. After installing, we were able to download entire North America maps. Prior to installation we could only download southern part of US and lower 48 respectively.

Yes, this GPS is programmed for Europe. It will require updates though which take several hours to complete the first time. You will need a 8 GA micro SD card memory to store the updates so plan on getting This when you submit your order via Amazon.

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.

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.

Yes, it does work in Europe. You will probably have to download the Europe data base though. Navigon made in Germany and very popular there.

As long as your Garmin accepts a Micro SD card it will work. Yes you will have to leave it in as all of the memory is transferred to the card.

Sorry, I don't know. Amazon gave a list of Garmin devices the SanDisk card works with.

My experience, two years ago (and things may have changed) is that Garmin's maps, at least for Spain and France, are so inaccurate as to be a hazard. At least at that time their satellite system worked perfectly for North America and miserably for Europe. A TomTom, which I found problematic in the US, works wonderfully in Europe. My advice, ask before using. Unless things have changed, the Garmin will steer you wrong at least 50 percent of the time. It is annoying and even dangerous. Ask a taxi driver. I have never found one in Spain who uses Garmin, and there must be a reason for that.

Well, I need to do that myself as well. I did buy European maps when I lived there. I am technologically challenged, so my great assistant helped me try to install the map from online. We tried to download the European map which did not work, so I bought the SD card/chip for about $100. Not sure this was helpful at all.

No. There is one that's more advanced and much more expensive. I don't remember the model. The description will say if European maps are compatible.

Yes it does, I used it in Paris and UK and found it easy to use. Be cautious when the device says "World Maps" because it does not work everywhere. Monaco is one place it did not work. Also, maps are difficult to download from Garmin and had to call in to tech service a few times to assist with the download. Good thing is the batteries last long.

My garmin was loaded with the maps of Europe. I do not know how it was done because I bought it used from Amazon. Sorry that I can not answer your question. I questioned the seller to make sure it had european maps because I needed it for my vacation. I use to get the same GPS with my car rental from kemwel.com and they would give me the same garmin with european maps for $40. I go to Europe 2 times a year so I figured it would be cheaper to buy a GPS.

Mine was a small card that fit in a slot under the battery of my Garmin Montana. It was plug and play with the whole continent stored on the card. My older Garmin's required maps to be sent from my Mac and the memory wasn't big enough to hold the whole continent.

The device does not accept memory cards (external, I assume you mean ). However, the memory that comes in the unit is enough to accommodate all the maps (mine holds North America and Europe) you might want (if you live in the US) as well as all the additional features available. If you have free updates, whenever a regional map is updated, the updater deletes the previous version, so there is always enough room. My subscription, which only updates N America, came with a one time Europe map. This is sufficient for (mostly) walking travel help in Europe.

It comes with the SD adapter (and Garmin people told me it works with any Garmin that'd taking it). But it worked terribly on our trip to Spain in July. Do not recommend, emphatically. Cost us about $500 in fuel and $$$$ in anxiety. I saw cab drivers using Tomtom there, not Garmin.

I think you should check the manufactures website. www.garmin.com but I used my U.S. bought Garmin that was about four years old. I think as long as you have an SD or Micro SD slot it will work. Don't leave home without it.
