Is there anything that has to be done to this unit for it to recognise Australian GPS Google mapping for it to operate in Australia?

Please note that the device will automatically recognize any country's (i.e. Australia in your case) GPS Google mapping for its operation. Simply plug & play and the device will give you peace of mind while driving.

I think so, but I'm not certain. Simple to find out by calling customer support at 1-800-800-1020 (assuming you're in the USA). If you are planning a trip to Australia, here are two pieces of advice: 1. Take plenty of money. Everything is extremely expensive. 2. If you're driving (I assume so, since you are in the market for Australia GPS maps), watch out for traffic cameras. They are everywhere. You'll get a ticket if you drive 5km/hr over the speed limit.

I don't see any reference to GPS in the instruction manual or about GEO tagging

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 unit should work without a problem in India, as far as getting a GPS signal is concerned. Mine only came with maps of America, but iGO-format maps can be manually loaded onto it from a computer.

Jorge, I do not know if it will work with your GPS, but in my opinion it is not worth bothering with. The maps were worse than the basic default map on my Garmin Oregon 450t. Very few of the towns showed up at all, even the larger ones and the roads were very inaccurate. It was a total waste of money.

There shouldn't be any difference between the two. It is non-GPS non mapping unit so there shouldn't be a difference between the two. I hope this helps :)

I'm not sure ... All I did was get a different plug for Australia to plug in the power point .... That I think fixes that problem .... Mine works fine

I do not know for sure. When I first got it it seemed to run fine with US and Canada base maps that came from factory. I updated those using the Garmin updater software tool. I put a 4gb micro SD card it it from my old unit but have never seen any indications that I really needed it. Try the Garmin website if you need more info. I am very happy with the thing. Bigger screen and faster, better menu system them my old unit.Good luck

Not to work as a GPS unit in your vehicle, just plug it into the lighter and it works off the satellites. You'll only need an internet connection to register the unit and update maps.

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

Yes. But if you want to be sure, go to the Garmin Web site and select your Garmin unit with the map to see if it is compatible.

I'm sorry I'm not the person to ask...have not had good luck with this gps. Geo site still doesn't recognize this gps. Have not been able to use it since it was given to me as a gift (almost one year). Help line is useless. Again sorry, hope you have better luck.

Well, the one I bought has only North America and Europe Maps preloaded on it, and these can be updated regularly. You should contact Garmin directly through their website to inquire if you can upload maps from other regions onto the unit. Good luck.

No. I bought this for my mother as a present. By the time it came for her to open it, it was to late to return.the GPS doesn't work at all. Can't get a map to any where

I think the only way to know is by placing it in the shopping cart and see if it accepts your address in Australia. It should also give you a shipping cost and delivery estimated time.
