Not clear if this comes preloaded with full European maps or not. Short description states it is loaded with NA & Europe but full says only NA.N

great question. mine was loaded with us maps but no euro maps, but i plugged the unit into my home computer and hit update. the latest euro maps up loaded onto the device for free. i just had to buy an 8gb mini sd card to accommodate the added map data. buy the mini sd card at any drugstore. when you push the sd card into the card slot it will click into place. however, you should put a dab of hot glue or tape over the mini sd card to keep it from popping out. if you don't do this added step, the card will eject by accident when your hand touches the side of the unit. my family has three of this model (the best) and they all have this easily fixed design issue. great question. mine was loaded with us maps but no euro maps, but i plugged the unit into my home computer and hit update. the latest euro maps up loaded onto the device for free. i just had to buy an 8gb mini sd card to accommodate the added map data. buy the mini sd card at any drugstore. when you push the sd card into the card slot it will click into place. however, you should put a dab of hot glue or tape over the mini sd card to keep it from popping out. if you don't do this added step, the card will eject by accident when your hand touches the side of the unit. my family has three of... » Read More great question. mine was loaded with us maps but no euro maps, but i plugged the unit into my home computer and hit update. the latest euro maps up loaded onto the device for free. i just had to buy an 8gb mini sd card to accommodate the added map data. buy the mini sd card at any drugstore. when you push the sd card into the card slot it will click into place. however, you should put a dab of hot glue or tape over the mini sd card to keep it from popping out. if you don't do this added step, the card will eject by accident when your hand touches the side of the unit. my family has three of this model (the best) and they all have this easily fixed design issue. « Show Less

It is preloaded but will need to be updated due to road construction depending on the country.

I've not seen any European maps on ours, but also haven't done updates for a long time, so could be there now.

both are active in the 275TI do not know where you live, but if you shapes Trevi Fountain in Rome italy, it will calculate up to about 80% and then think for a long time and say something like ," not found".This does not mean that Europe is not present, I just is a little hard to drive to Italy from Tennessee.

The screen is fairly large and visible, with good detail. Yes, it includes Belgium, Holland, and France in the European maps. Some users have stated that the European maps only show "details" when you get into the local area, but I don't have any idea why this would be so or even if it's true or not.

I am very upset about this. The Amazon website states that maps of US, Canada, Mexico, and Europe are included with lifetime updates. I bought this unit for European driving and bought this specifically for free lifetime European map updates. Even if you go to TomTom's web site, it mentions free lifetime updates. No where on the page for this device does it say that European map updates are not included. I called TomTom and the customer service was horrible. After 20 minutes on hold I explained to a "supervisor" that this was deceptive and wrong and he hung up on me. This company is deceptive and has disdain for it's customers.

Sorry, I forgot if a map was preloaded or not as I bought a while ago.I think US and Canada maps are preloaded. I only remember that I can choose either eastern US or upper US or lower US, something like that. It is very good in direction. It shows the picture of your current road and the exit road you need to take. It also says like: take either on two left lane or right lane.

My unit, purchased on Amazon Prime Day, came without European maps preloaded, which is a major disappointment. However, customer support was great and quickly put the maps in my Tomtom account. It only took about 1/2 hour to get them loaded.

Honestly, I believe the maps are US/Canada only if you bought it here in the States. However, many models offer other maps via download. You would have to obviously pay up (almost as much as a new GPS unit or more) for that. Totally not worth it if you asked me. So to answer your question, the 540 does not have maps for Europe on it.

It doesn't matter. ALL of its maps (incl Europe) get a free update within the first 30 days of purchase (I just bought mine). Just update the maps with the initial free map update BEFORE you register the subscription to lifetime free maps on North America.And, of course, both NA (& Mexico) & all of Europe will not fit on the WTE at the same time. So update North America first. Then move it to your PC's HDD. Then update the Europe map (download it ALL). Then put the Europe map over on your HDD and put North America back on your 540. The NA maps come out 4 times a year. Why not update them? It's free and not a hassle. It takes about 45 min. It doesn't matter.

Yes, this GPS is programmed for Europe. It will require updates though which take several hours to complete the first time. You will need a 8 GA micro SD card memory to store the updates so plan on getting This when you submit your order via Amazon.

My phone was pre-loaded with US maps. If you don't have maps pre-loaded, you can always download them from Nokia and then install on the device: http://europe.nokia.com/explore-services/maps/download

It comes loaded with us, Canada, but I know that they sell the other countries maps in the website

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.

I just ordered straight from Garmin and was told that this unit specifically has Europe and North America Pre-loaded, but to get lifetime traffic you have to pay separately. Sounds like the people who have purchased and received it do not have both Europe and N.A. pre-loaded?

There were no European maps on this unit. You can check the description on garmin.com to check that.

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.

The maps included are Europe,Canada,Mexico and USA Possibly you can ask Tom Tom but I think the answer is negative

It means if you have life time maps Its just for the USA if not you will have to pay for Europe maps. Go to garmins web sit for Europe maps, but there not cheap.
