The map are loaded on this unit. The maps are from 2010. I would recommend getting the life time updates for 100.00 bucks that way you will be up to date with road in the US. P.Hansen

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

Hello Theresa, this Garmin GPS model is loaded with all North America maps, including USA, Canada and Mexico. The advantage of the LMT is that every six months you will get free of charge the updated for new maps for all the region. I strongly recommend you this Garmin model.

It comes with both Lifetime Maps and Lifetime Traffic. Be advised that if you are using Windows XP Media Center Edition, the updated will not download and install. Any later Windows version works just fine. Garmin customer support was extremely helpful in making the Map update go smoothly.

No, it has US maps only. If you want Europe maps you will need to buy them separately. It looks like that in US this model is named "VIA 1400M" and Europe it has name "Start 20"

Only if you have European maps loaded. I used an older version, the 350, in London, in 2010, with the London map loaded in it. It seemed to have more difficulty finding its location there than in the US. I used the current version in the Bahamas a few weeks ago. The Bahamas are part of the North American maps. It usually worked as about fast as it did in the states, but occasionally it seemed a bit slower to respond. I'm not sure why that would be. I'm guessing that the Garmin GPSs for North America searches for satellites based on the assumption that one is in the US, first, and then broadens the search when it doesn't locate itself in the US. Being that the newer one is more powerful than my six year-old device, it was quicker to locate the satellites. Other than that, it worked fine.

this model has United states, Canada, and Mexico maps loaded, it does not have enough internal memory to load any more maps, you would have to delete this map (make sure you back it up first) and then buy another map if you were to go outside of these countries

I have the Maps of whole of USA and Canada with updates, I do not have maps of Europe. I assume that one could buy maps of UK & Europe from Garmin or Amazon by down loading through your computer.

Yes. I've use other Garmin GPSs in Africa, Australia, Europe, etc. The base map that comes on this GPS has a few roads in Asia, but you would want detailed maps for wherever you want to use it, including the US. You can buy these maps, or get free ones from OpenStreetMap.

I bought one during Prime day and received it on July 16th 2015. The one I received had maps of both North America and Europe pre-loaded. I plugged it in and both maps updated (put a 32GB SD card in mine first that I had already) without issue. My Tom Tom account shows lifetime updates for both maps. Hope this helps others trying to decide.

TomTom 1505M World Traveler Edition should include free lifetime maps of USA, Canada, Mexico, and Europe

You can buy maps for europe and asia from garmin.com. If I understand correctly, you can buy them pre-loaded on a card and just swap it for the North America one. But they are in the $400 price range!
