It is not clear if it comes with European maps or not for turn by turn navigation. Do I have to buy extra Euro 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.

It comes with a low-detail base map (major roads, cities, state/province/international boundary lines). I don't recall the details of what else it may have, since I promptly purchased the higher-resolution road maps. If you use the GPS only for tracking your movements, and not for navigation, the base map is fine for that. It's not suitable for any kind of detailed navigation, however. Maps for that kind of use need to be purchased.

No, this model does not support maps of Europe. There is at least one current Garmin model (Nuvi 2577LT) that does come with preloaded maps of both North America and Europe, but while it comes with lifetime traffic, it does not come with lifetime map updates (although it may be possible to purchase lifetime map update subscriptions for it - I don't know). When I travel to Europe I bring with me my (nearly obsolete) Nuvi 1370, for which I have a subscription to lifetime maps for both North America and (at least Western) Europe. In general for Nuvi model numbers, an "LT" suffix signifies lifetime traffic and "LMT" signifies lifetime traffic and map updates. I believe the "7" in the tens column of the model number signifies transatlantic (maps of both America and Europe).

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.

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.

No. Few Garmin units have European maps built in and none on Amazon, I believe. You need to buy a European map mini-SD card which can be installed in the unit. It costs about $80-90 extra.

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.

Not clear if this comes preloaded with full European maps or not. Short description states it is loaded with North America & Europe but full description states only North America.

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.

You can read reviews on 1370 Garmin nuvi, people speak of generally positive experience. I just bought it and although it did have European maps, I don't know what exact countries it had - I decided to use the free Europe map update download to get it up-to-date. What I found is that it does not have sufficient memory to hold the whole Europe map! So you can either chose your countries (they have Italy + Greece), and add others - I was not interested in Balkans since I go to Italy, but I think they had coverage of whole Europe except for Russia, so they certainly had Croatia, Bulgaria and other Balkan countries. If Garmin covers those, it should work there just fine. You can try to enter some address there from here to save them in Favorites - some hotel where you will be staying, etc, and see if it finds it. That would give you an indication if your device has the coverage of your country of destination. I did that with all my Italian hotels now, 2 weeks in advance of my voyage, and it feels reassuring :) You could visit their site http://www.garmin.com/us/ and read more, and register your device. Then it will know what you have and will prompt you for maps/accessories. Bon voyage! Anna

Maps are available from TomTom site. I found and started download of UK/IE maps for a trip. Alas, I found them too close to departure time and didn't get them fully downloaded to install them before my trip. Map files are quite large! They're also a little pricey, I seem to remember it was about USD$70 to download the set. I can't vouch for whether downloaded maps work well. Europe destinations seem to be fairly well covered for TomTom maps. I wanted to download a map for Singapore too, but one is not available. See the TomTom site for places that are available.

I've not seen any European maps on ours, but also haven't done updates for a long time, so could be there now.

My understanding is that Garmin provides maps based on the location of sale. North American maps for the U.S., European maps for the UK. You will likely need to purchase additional maps if you use this in more than one world area.

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

You can get maps for Europe, I'm not sure about lifetime updates. But my advice is don't bother. Garmin is produced for the US. In Europe it's almost worthless. It got me lost all the time. I switched to TomTom, which is European and doesn't work very well in the US, and the accuracy there was almost 100 percent. Garmin is especially bad in European cities where the streets are very close together. In Spain I haven't noticed a single taxi driver who uses Garmin or who uses anything other than TomTom, for that matter.
