I'm sorry, I havent traveled to Europe since 2009 and didn't use a GPS at that time.

yes, I used it somewhere in Eastern Europe, and it worked well enough. but it took some time to find the area satellites.

Yes, I think they will work in every European country. I have used them in France and Germany. Never Czech though

Seeing that your post is 2 months old, you've probably found out whether this device has good coverage in Budapest and/or Prague. I'd like to hear more on Budapest and Hungary, since there is a Hungarian company which sells a separate detailed map of Hungary (incl. Budapest), which is really good. Is it a good buy comparing to what is included in City Navigator 9?

It should work on all GSM networks, including the big three Russian operators. You may only be able to use 2G depending on your carrier. I go the STL100-2 and it works fine on a GSM network in Africa.

I used it without updates in Germany, Austria, and the Czech Republic in 2010 and it worked fine. It does get confused in the historic areas of hill towns. I don't think the update would make a difference. I would bet it will be OK 95 percent of the time. You can always stop and get directions. Would not want to go back to trying to get around without one.

It's been a few years since we used it; I don't recall any difficulties. We went in Ireland, and purchased the converter recommended for that country. The three previous answers sound more knowledgeable than mine.

Quite well. Using this in China at the moment. Just be careful, some countries have issues with batteries in your checked baggage. Need to carry this as it it both battery booster and wireless router. Works great in hotel room to wired cable (an issue with I-Pads and Android devices with no wired network cable). Auto-switching transformer 110-240 VAC I believe. I have not yet been able to replicate a wireless network with it. Wired is perfect in countries that have few wireless networks in hotels, etc. Far East has more wired than wireless in hotel rooms. My hotel has wireless in lobby, this gives me one in the room as well... Quite well. Using this in China at the moment.

I believe you can purchase the 2497LMT with lifetime maps and traffic for Europe, Andrea. I have the U.S. version and really like it. Hope it works out well for you.

Thanks for checking. I was thinking more to leave one of these units in Europe for non-techy relatives (e.g. older relatives who won't boot up skype to talk to me) But, they're bringing these out in "Q1 2007" in europe supposedly so I guess I'll just wait to avoid the hassle of plugging it into a converter. Thanks again for checking though and taking the time to post.

Yes. We found it great even in remote areas in Czech Republic and from Prague to Krakow. It had great satellite reception the whole trip. We used it in Munich, Salzburg, berlin, Krakow, Karlovy Vary, Prague, Oberamergau....It was great!

My results with my step up converter have proven to provide exact European voltage which I am using for my computer which I bought in Bulgaria. I have been using it for 3 months with no problems. I think with a hair dryer you might consider buying a US model if you are here in the US. It might cost less to do that, but, I believe this converter to be a solid investment. Hope that helps out...

No, I didn't get an answer.However, I went ahead and bought the Garmin 275 unit. I've tried it in France only so far. It worked "fine" with a few glitches. Like slowness in picking up satellites (and the inability to do so in closed buildings/tunnels).And having some street names saved with a different spelling than what seems to be the "well-known/correct" spelling (like the spelling of the street address on the hotel website. This caused me to be unable to find the address on the device. It took me considerable time to figure it out!).

I don't know if it will work with European specs or not. You may try the manufacturer's website. Sorry I can't be of more help!

The one I bought was set up with North America maps. I am sure you can obtain European maps. If you buy in Europe, I don't see why it would not have European maps. Garmin is world-wide, with a good selection of languages. I just bought a 50LM, five-inch, which is cheaper and I like better. For English, 50LM has Samantha who speaks very clearly with an American accent. It does not have traffic though. I haven't used the 2455LT traffic feature yet. Garmin has so many models that it is easy to be confused.

the 771 does 144/ 430 t0 445 very well with as high as 1.6 to one swr and as low as 1.15 but is real bad on 220. To test we put an sma in a sheet of aluminum three feet in diameter and ran swr tests with a network analyzer, the 220 looked like an open circuit. I was afraid to try it on my yeasu on 220 but for 2 M and 70 cm it has gain and works the best on my hand held radios so far that I have tried..

Yes it will. I've used it in several locations in Europe and it worked with no issues.
