Worldwide Use: Does it have GPS maps for use in Europe or Asia or are they available to be installed?

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.

Yes, of course. Tell me which country map do you need. I'll install the last version for you.

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.

It does have GPS capability. I've used it in Antarctica.Can be turned on and off in settings/location services.

It will work only if the device was preloaded with the map for that corresponding part of the world, not if it was on a SD card. The other thing that may work is the GARMIN dvd with life time update. I had to return my key since I was not able to install the update (original with life timeNorth America map preloaded, Europe on a one time SD card) The lifetime Europe update would not install. I had to call Garmin to confirm this.

sorry, i do not know but i can recommend something that DOES have maps of europe, namely WAYZ, which is an app you can get for any smart phone, and is -- sorry amazon -- a thousand times better than the garmin. it leads you around traffic jams, and has much gentler manners to boot.

You can buy maps for just about any country. Garmin supports over 100. The basic one comes with US and Canada but you can specify Brazil when you order. You can also buy maps for other countries as you need it. I bought the unit with NA but later on added EU and Japan. You can decide which map to use by downloading it using the PC or MAC app. Hope this helps

Yes the unit works in Europe. However you must purchase the software for the respective countries. Google; Garmin European maps for details. Lloyd

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.

No. There is one that's more advanced and much more expensive. I don't remember the model. The description will say if European maps are compatible.

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.

It gives Long-Lat position worldwide on land and sea but there is no hardware or software for maps. GPS location only.

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.

I know for sure you can add other maps of virtually any country and based on your region it will support various languages. Go to www.Garmin.com for specific details and/or support.
