Preloaded Maps: It comes with maps of all over the world?????

There are so many Garmin options it's mind boggling. The nuvi 350, which I own, comes with North American maps. Looking to buy a gift for my dauughter so I explored a bit. The 200 comes with regional maps, which is basically the continental US. Since we live in Western NY, Canadian maps are useful so you need to go to a model with North America to get that. We traveled to Ireland in the spring but to get maps for Ireland you need to buy an SD card, which goes for over $100 (we left the Garmin home). Also recommend a model that says the street name in addition to 'turn right'. The units can get confused and that is a good 'verification' that you really should turn or exit. Additionally this is helpful because you should be looking at the road and not the Garmin to make sure your going the right way.

As far as I know it has maps of North America, but I didn't check for which countries when I updated the maps

It claims to be pre loaded with USA maps don't think it will do what you want. Sorry

No, it does not. I can't even update the maps either. I guess it's too old. I may try hooking it up to the software this weekend to give it another try. I hadn't tried for quite a few months.

Not with the maps that come standard on the North American version. I do think that you can buy European maps for it though.

No. Only US. I live in Brazil, so I install the Igo and use it. The Igo allows to install any map. Since it you have the map (you can find on the internet).

I don't know if it does but I will tell you that I purchased this item and it was not loaded with any maps. So it was useless unless you wanted to spend another $60 to load the maps on. Be careful.

Hi, Yes you need to download maps for each particular region. I have experience with tourist map but not for city navigation. And while it is great for hiking it could be less convenient in a dense city area.Attila

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.

Yes, I believe so but it cost money to do so. There is a little memory card which the maps are loaded on and if you needed to you could purchase the updated maps from online.. Although I never had to because the maps is relatively up to date at least in my area

Yes, it comes with everything. I think the update to the most current maps is free too.

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.

It only comes with a Global Basemap. You will need to get the Blue Charts appropriate to your area seperately

I don't know. I only saw them listed together. But it's a better world map than a bunch of others that cost the same or more for just the world map alone!

so the map in it doesnt 'expire' forcing you to get a new map? i was under the impression it was like a subscription and after x amount of time the device didnt work any more til you got the new subscription..?
