The model number on this item says it's 20-Europe. Do I have to download European Maps, and if so does it cost anything?

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"

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.

I have the Maps of whole of USA and Canada with updates, I do not have maps of Europe. I assume that one could buy maps of UK & Europe from Garmin or Amazon by down loading through your computer.

You can buy maps of Europe on a micro SD Card for $99. Powering is the same.

I am not sure what region that is. I had to buy an extra European maps file for it to work in Europe.

Chris,I ordered my Garmin 370 on August 8, and just received it on August 13. Unfortunately, this unit appears to have the outdated map of North America. How can I confirm that the v9 European map is on the unit? How long did it take for you to receive the newly-released North American maps from Garmin? I live in the UK, but will be in PA until August 26, 2007. Am I likely to receive the maps before departing from the USA? I plan to call Garmin tomorrow to request the newly-released N. American maps free of charge. Did your request for the updated maps require negotiation or was the representative easily convinced to provide the maps free of charge?Thanks for your feedback!

It doesn't matter. ALL of its maps (incl Europe) get a free update within the first 30 days of purchase (I just bought mine). Just update the maps with the initial free map update BEFORE you register the subscription to lifetime free maps on North America.And, of course, both NA (& Mexico) & all of Europe will not fit on the WTE at the same time. So update North America first. Then move it to your PC's HDD. Then update the Europe map (download it ALL). Then put the Europe map over on your HDD and put North America back on your 540. The NA maps come out 4 times a year. Why not update them? It's free and not a hassle. It takes about 45 min. It doesn't matter.

The numaps One Time is actually used to update previously purchased European maps; the Amazon listing is a bit misleading. The nuvi 200W is compatible with European maps, but you will probably want to buy this product: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0055XNWJI/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_1?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B008JWSTC2&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=17Q8W3CVYRVHXHPQXVWT. It is a microSD card that fits into the 1/2" slot in the left of your unit and will automatically put the European maps on your device.

Mine worked in Europe in every country I visited, Prague, Switzerland, Germany, France and even worked in Costa Rica. It wasn't great in Costa Rica as I havent updated the maps since 2009. Mine worked! I am not sure if it will work in Ireland you may want to check the specs, the maps online but I did get the one that specifically said European maps.

NO! very misleading. I bought this model last year for Germany trip and did not have a map package. Was too late when I got there so I spent a month without a gps.

I have not tried to look at Europe or GB on my new tom tom, it's in my wifes vehicle. The tom tom I use everyday {3 years old} does not have those maps, only the U.S.

Yes, but you need to buy the maps regions outside the US/Canada. The US/Canada map comes with the device. Looking at the TomTom web site, the map for the UK + The Republic of Ireland (one map) is $59.95; for all of Western Europe it's $79.95.

It would depend on where you purchase the device. It should have the area it was purchased in. However if you need a map of a different region you can always purchase and download it.

Not the one that I have - I am not sure if they make one for Europe or not. Good question.

NO. I tried to install a Garmin SD card with maps of Europe, and the unit says the maps are corrupted. I bought another card (new, factory sealed) and the same thing happened. In both cases, Garmin customer service said that they don't understand why the cards don't work (but if you search their support site, there is a reference to this problem and you are told to contact customer support). Garmin Customer Support said that the only way to make the unit work is to buy and download maps directly from their website. But the Nuvi 66 doesn't have nearly enough internal memory for Europe maps so you are forced to buy a microSD card and copy the maps to it after downloading them. After wasting so much time, I didn't have time to do this before leaving for Europe so I wound up paying 18 euros extra per day for a rental car with GPS for a total cost of $375! Garmin should be ashamed.

I am very upset about this. The Amazon website states that maps of US, Canada, Mexico, and Europe are included with lifetime updates. I bought this unit for European driving and bought this specifically for free lifetime European map updates. Even if you go to TomTom's web site, it mentions free lifetime updates. No where on the page for this device does it say that European map updates are not included. I called TomTom and the customer service was horrible. After 20 minutes on hold I explained to a "supervisor" that this was deceptive and wrong and he hung up on me. This company is deceptive and has disdain for it's customers.

On the gps, I don't know if the maps can be updated to Europe, Asia, etc, there might be information on the manufactures web site,
