I beleive it is...I use it here in NJ...I bought one for my father and he goes back and forth from here to florida and he's been using it...I highly doubt he's uploaded any maps to it at all...he's not exactly savvy like that...

It has maps for the entire country initially. However, after you hook it up to your computer, it will do a live update to whatever area you select you want to be more detailed. For instance, I live in the mid-west so I asked it to focus on this area. You would just ask it to focus on the eastern states of your interest. I love my Garmin nuvi! I hope this helps.

Yes, it is loaded with charts that are reasonably well detailed. I have one in SW Florida but previously boated on the Great Lakes and think that this would be fine. But please be aware that you cannot load more detailed charts on this unit only more detail about ports and 3D graphics. If you want very fine detail pick another unit which will accept charts

Maps for North America are already installed. They need to be updated periodically (~once a year) but the unit should come ready to use.

Yes you just need to insert the map in the slot and it over rides the USA map and will display the India maps once you are in India.

Hi, ocean,I don't know whether it contains Europe maps. It died even when I was trying to update US maps, not saying Europe maps. I don't recommend this unit AT All.

No, its just the S. Maps separate, although there is a basic worldwide map. You will need a separate Marine map.

I do not believe so, I gentleman from GA requested the same info, when I checked my unit I remember noticing no maps or game units for states east of the Mississippi. I will pull out my hunting gear and double check though.

Yes you can, you have to purchase the European maps, either down load or buy in a SD memory card (buy the memory card with the map in it, makes it easier when you go back to the state and use usa map

I don't know whether it will load or not. The map is really crappy and did not find a lot of the towns we went through. I was using a Garmin GPS and the base map that was loaded in the unit was much better than the one I bought. It was a total waste of money. Live and learn.

No, and the actual amount of info shown is very minimal compared to competition. Even after the latest map update, serious map errors and POI list is nearly worthless. Buy anything else, it can't be a lower quality product. Large screen is only useful feature. Just completed an 8500 mile trip around the county with this frustrating device!

I dont know about coastal charts but mine has inland lake maps. The maps that are on the unit do not have any detail. I ended up getting the navionics map card.
