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.

I am not sure, I haven't looked for it. Check the feature/details of the unit and see if it includes Europe. Updates are free as are downloads so you may just have to download the Europe maps and be good to go. If you just go on the Garmin site you can look up the features of every gps unit they sell including those that are no longer sold to see what it included as a feature. I do recall the 2577LT as having the ability for Europe but I would not want to say for sure.

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. Countries fully covered (99.9%): Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Greece, Italy, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Hungary, Malta, Monaco, Norway, Poland, Portugal, San Marino, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the Republic of Ireland, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, the Canary Islands and the Vatican City. Countries partially covered: Azores & Madeira, Bulgaria, Croatia including coverage extension on Adriatic coast, Latvia, Romania, Ukraine, Russian Federation, Turkey and Ukraine .

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.

I thought you could add European maps because the screen asks for country or state but only USA appears on the screen. When I tried to type in Italy, I was not able to; it would not accept the "t" and said - unknown.

I have the 1390T model, and it does have maps for Puerto Rico, but not Europe. Hope that helps. I also agree with the other comment, the voice is not as good as the older model, but I guess that is what we get with the newer ones.

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?

Their marketing indicates that the updates include the map of Europe, but in fact it does not.See the company's statement at: http://www.tomtom.com/en_us/services/other/lifetime-map-updates/#tab:tab2

Mine didn't come with the UK maps either It came with 10 othe maps. But you will have to plug into computer and download the maps your looking for

Why does this get such negative reviews? Seems logical to get the most recent model in most tech things. We're buying our first gps, and need europe maps. Is the 765, 775, or 275 better?

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.

Go to Garmin.com and you will find that there are city maps of Europe available for your device. . .

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

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.

Italy is included, but I did not use it there. I used it for 3 weeks in France, and 2 weeks in Germany. My experience was about 98% positive with the European maps, I would venture to say that the majority of the time it will keep you out of trouble. I could not have made my 5 week trip without it. (I would also recommend a regular road map in addition, so that you can visually get the idea when you are heading in the correct direction. Learn all the ins and outs before you go, it will cut down on the learning curve once in Europe. Many sights and tourist attractions are listed. Barry S.

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

I have a Nuvi 1300 with life time map updates. I would like to get a European map also, specifically Italy. What is the process for this and what is the cost?
