I am interested in this unit but live in Australia, will the plotter work in my region or is it geofenced? Thanks John

I would think it would work anywhere. But you could contact Lowrance and see if it will work in your area. I bought this unit for my husband and he hardly uses it because it is hard to figure out. The directions are scanty and he isn't computer savvy. But you may not having any trouble setting the different settings on the unit.

You will need to buy the char of your area, mine I use it in Panama Central America and it work very good.

Hi John. I'd check with Lowrance on this as several things are question marks. geofencing is one issue. So are the maps. If the unit is being sold from the U.S. (new or used) it probably has the North American maps and that does you no good. If it's new from an Australian dealer you'll want to verify that it has the correct maps, not the U.S. default.

well this Australiaan chip will work only on Garmin that has a slide opening at the back of the GPS. If not mistaken Nuvi 1070 and is 2007 model unfortunately I left it in Australia, it worked good.

Should work fine as long as you get UK maps. If you are using first in US, you need to reboot to get it to work in the UK. Reboot by shutting it off. Then while touching screen in lower right corner, turn on unit. Wait until you get reset screen. Answer and it will reboot in new locations.

It does a very good job with distance when your traveling on highways, at times when my detector went off I saw nothing in the area but I slowed anyway and sure enough there was a patrol car just ahead. I'm guessing that the distance would vary with the amount of "gain" the police have there radar set at. I have had mine for over a year and it works great!!! You wont be disappointed

No idea but the quality is outstanding. NTSC tuner so not sure what standards are in Australia (if Pal Secam, most likely won't work)

Yes, just make sure that the detector you buy goes the distance. They are different. I bought 2 detectors. First one set up about 450 yards away and then the 2nd one about 100 ydsaway to let me know when someone is closer. I love them !

I agree with the comment below on ease of operation and programming. Just got back from a fishing trip in Canada and it worked flawlessly. Really like the setting which show gas stations, restaurants, etc. near the road you are traveling. Hope this helps.

It is "region free" with respect to geographics but its a wired system and not wireless. It's a great system as I have owned one for over a year now and I am very, very satisfied with its performance.

Hello,it works well in UK & Australia if we per-install UK Maps well and also you can use it in US if we pre-install the US Maps well. Of course,we can teach you how to download and install Maps of different countries,thanks for your attention.

I have used it to mark my way on horseback and then retrieve and review those trails. My other Garmins would then transplant to my computer mapping software and I would print them. I have not interfaced this Garmin with my computer and I can not recall if it will just because I no longer do that. Mine works fine in USA I do not know why it would not work in PI. I have had several Garmins this is not my favorite to use on horseback.

I order it for my frend . It is not mine. But i have seen only USA and Canada maps. I dont know if it is posible to use it anywhere else. Or may be update maps.

not sure if it will work but, the thing is, if you are in Australia, the 2-pin plug that goes into the power point, if it has a hole in the pins and no black mark then it is not recommended for use in Australia, it is illegal.

It detects pretty far out, I have animals 30' away in a pasture and it will often pick their movement up. I don't know about 200' away, would be better if you could mount it closer to the activity. Also, it doesn't pick up 'wide angle' but only straight out in front of the detector. The 1/2 mile transmit claim is valid though!

It should work everywhere.I live in Saudi Arabia and it works.Only the gas detector requires 120 VAC but the rest come with 110/220VAC adapters.

RE: Rod: Can you answer this question about Garmin nuvi 3790T 4.3-Inch...?Roderick Ferguson 11:36 AM To: "Amazon Answers" <answers@amazon.com>Your best bet is to google Garmin and ask them. They might be able to download the Aussie stuff for you over the internet.These things are getting cheaper every day, so you might have to make your case with Garmin and have them send you a "sympathy" GPS at a super low price as an apology to their of global flexibility.
