does the unit come with preloaded maps of Europe

No, North America, you'll have to buy an extra map from Garmin. If you want to have both North America and Europe you'll have to add a MicroSDHC Memory Card to your nuvi. A MicroSDHC Memory Card is reasonably cheep and easily inserted into the bottom slot on your nuvi.

No, US and Cananda. I believe you can load Maps of EuropeThe LT give you free updates of Maps, you can add maps

Definitive answer: yes, the 2577LT model comes with Europe maps. I confirmed with Garmin before I bought it on Amazon. This is the "transatlantic model" that has both North America and Europe maps preloaded. The Amazon summary table is wrong in saying it is just North America. I just received the device and confirmed it has the Europe maps.

Nope, but can order at the garmin site, with an extra sim can have unlimited maps.

There are lots of contradicting answers on the multiple threads. I spoke with Garmin Support and he recommended the 2577 SPECIFICALLY for this reason. The online description ( https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/on-the-road/automotive/2013-line/nuvi-2577lt/prod122520.html ) also lists both maps.William - If yours did not, it seems you overpaid because the 2597 is the same device at less money PLUS it has Lifetime Maps. Chas / Mark / D. - Do all of you have the device and physically confirmed it doe not have Europe? Again, this is counter what Garmin said to me about 1hr ago.

I just ordered straight from Garmin and was told that this unit specifically has Europe and North America Pre-loaded, but to get lifetime traffic you have to pay separately. Sounds like the people who have purchased and received it do not have both Europe and N.A. pre-loaded?

I don't know-----mine didn't. Of course this wasn't important to me, so never bothered to check.

No. But you can select different maps based on location and load them from your computer.

No, just North America. Extra maps can be purchased and installed on the GPS

Not so fast. I purchased the unit back in March of 2015 and the European maps were NOT PRELOADED. I had to contact TOMTOM customer service and send them proof of purchase. MAJOR HASSLE. I ended up returning the unit. Happens too often that vendors on Amazon have a poor understanding of the product they are selling.

Ben, the one I purchased from Amazon only had United States road Maps. If the unit you purchase does not have European road maps, they can be purchased from Garmin. Dave

this model has United states, Canada, and Mexico maps loaded, it does not have enough internal memory to load any more maps, you would have to delete this map (make sure you back it up first) and then buy another map if you were to go outside of these countries

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.

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

Hello. unfortunately the maps will not work since they are programmed for the U.S. the unit will work, but the maps wont.

I do not think it will since the maps are for US and Canada. Unless you can verify that you can load up the maps for your country.

Does this Garmin have maps that are loaded for Europe already--we will be traveling in Germany

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.

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.

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.

Yes, according to the website: Preloaded street maps Yes (Transatlantic).There are a variety of Garmin GPS devices that come preloaded with mapping not just for the United States, but also for Europe. Any nuvi that ends with 70, 75 or 77 in the model number will have preloaded mapping for North America and Europe.

I bought one during Prime day and received it on July 16th 2015. The one I received had maps of both North America and Europe pre-loaded. I plugged it in and both maps updated (put a 32GB SD card in mine first that I had already) without issue. My Tom Tom account shows lifetime updates for both maps. Hope this helps others trying to decide.

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.
