Oh, I don't think they can, but I would ask customer service, they would know better than I

As far as I know, the only way to update the maps is to buy the annual Garmin update on SD card (about $100) and replace the one in your DNX with the new one.

No, this model does not support maps of Europe. There is at least one current Garmin model (Nuvi 2577LT) that does come with preloaded maps of both North America and Europe, but while it comes with lifetime traffic, it does not come with lifetime map updates (although it may be possible to purchase lifetime map update subscriptions for it - I don't know). When I travel to Europe I bring with me my (nearly obsolete) Nuvi 1370, for which I have a subscription to lifetime maps for both North America and (at least Western) Europe. In general for Nuvi model numbers, an "LT" suffix signifies lifetime traffic and "LMT" signifies lifetime traffic and map updates. I believe the "7" in the tens column of the model number signifies transatlantic (maps of both America and Europe).

No new maps yet. You've got Navteq 2008a maps. Software updates: http://esupport.sony.com/perl/select-system.pl?DIRECTOR=DRIVER&SR=nav:service_support:electronics:drivers_software:esup&ref=http%3A//www.sony.com/index.php Select your country and type in NV-U44 in "Option 1". If you need to update your software, follow the instructions, which also tell you to install the nav-u Tool software. The whole operation will take about an hour, because the update does a backup.

It sure indeed is a brilliant forum. I´ve looked for my answer there and from what I learned the device I was actually looking for was C310 and not C310x. A software hack was required in order to read the ROM so I gave up on this unit and chose a NAV200 from Delphi which stores all its maps in the external SD card thus making it much simpler to switch to maps from other countries. I also had to consider the fact that navteq, route 66 and destinator are the only available providers of maps to Brazil and US (the countries I need).

I believe you can purchase the 2497LMT with lifetime maps and traffic for Europe, Andrea. I have the U.S. version and really like it. Hope it works out well for you.

Hello. unfortunately the maps will not work since they are programmed for the U.S. the unit will work, but the maps wont.

Do these units have both the European and North American data bases loaded, or do you have to buy the European data cards seperately?

Yes, you have to go to the website to update. Im not sure about map updates but you can find whatever you want to know on the website.

No it does not, but yes, they can be purchased and installed. We installed them on one for a trip to Italy. I don't recall if we had to 'trade' maps or if we were able to install the Europe pack alongside the US.

Unlike these other morons that have the unit wired wrong. (If the unit resets, you have it wired wrong!) Yes, you can update the GPS maps. It is done via a dedicated SDHC card.

Dear Bin Take care. Garmin 010-11045-05 is only a credit to update a Garmin Euro map. The Euro map is aroung 4 GB and you can only, after purchased it in Garmin site, downloaded it to a SD memory plugged in your GPS. This map will only work in your GPS. I am not sure if nuvi 1200 accept Euro map. Please check in Garmin site. Otherwise the Garmin Euro map 2013 works very well and you will have all the info in English. Regards

Yes additional maps can be purchased online by connections you device to your computer using the included USB cable and then downloading Tomtoms software, through which you setup an account and go to the tomtom web site. There are a number of different EU maps - northern, western, south etc with different features and map detail.

The maps are stored on an SD memory card so updating would either require updating or swapping out that card.

Thanks a lot, Rossi! Will be working on them shortly.BTW, what about the map application that comes with 08? because I'm stuck trying to figure out how to make any use of it... Any have the experience of downloading maps from the web and make it work MANNUALLy? because direct downloading and installing seems impossible!!! Thanks!Josh

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

I used it traveling from Germany to France just last december. Coming back to Germany i realized some major roads where outdated, it was as easy as hooking up the tomtom to my mac, create a username on the lifetime update for my unit and there, updated maps for free!!! Beware that they are quite heavy updates, so depending on your connection speed it may take a while. Feb 24, 2014 by joshzaid
