GPS uses USA satellites. Both Russia & China have their own satellite system for geo location. Therefore would this GPS unit work in those countries?

GPS satellites don't turn themselves off when they're over other countries, and countries don't want them to so they can be used worldwide. It's sort of like asking "will my radio be able to receive a Detroit station from when I'm in Windsor?"

This is a USA model and we are not sure that it will work in Russia and or China. The manufacturer did not test the units in those countries.

I think so, but I only downloaded the US. You should contact Garmin to make sure.

I did a little research, and came to the conclusion that it most likely will, on the basis that the watch connects with satellite to determine your distance. So, it wouldn't matter where you're at on the globe as long as it is able to make that connection. But with all GPS devices, it's reliability is determined by it's ability to get a good signal which can be hampered by cloudy days, or trying to get a GPS lock from indoors. As long as you are outdoors and it's relatively clear, it should work anywhere.

The GPS tracking itself should work all over the world.What might be limited may be the map material available for your region that allows you to see the paths on a map.As a workaround it is always possible to use Google Earth to visualize the paths, which should have satellite imagery for most locations on earth, and is available for free.

Yes, The GPS works on anyplace on the earth since you are outside and sometimes works inside the house too (trough the window).About accuracy: I don't know if Brazil has a Station on Earth to better accuracy (WAAS) but I do exercise on Curitiba-PR many times a year whena go to visit my mom and I feel very comfortable with accuracy.... If I've crossed the street it is show me on map or Google Earth that I have changed the sidewalk. That's is fair enough to me....

GPS is a global positioning system (hence the name) and should work anywhere.

Not in the US. The European version has GPS, but the US version does not Joseph May Techtrackr.com

It works using GPS, which is all over the World. I have successfully used it on trips to Europe and the UK. As far as I know, it should work anywhere.

I am not certain about the GPS because the maps are for the North America continent . Is this car a US model? If it is check Crutchfield.com for the faceplate to install this unit in your car

I wouldn't know, I ordered 2 last year for Christmas, one did not work at all, the other was set to China as the location setting and would not accept my location in the US. It did not work out well for me. I ended up returning both of them.

I had the 10" Lenovo Yoda with GPS, no wifi needed but I did download AndroiTS GPS from the Android store to capture waypoints, I could then export the data into a file and load it into Google Maps, or use the app OsmAnd for mapping. Worked well in Russia.

I can not say for the whole world but I have mine in Russia and Europe using local providers and it works fine.

GPS works everywhere, except near the north and south pole. If you want to use the GPS coordinates the mapping software will have to match the reference system used by the Garmin unit. The only other remaining question is whether the 140 MHz transmitter used in the dog collar is licensed in any of these countries. If this is not of concern, then, yes, it works just about everywhere.

Sorry, I don't know for Russia or Ukraine. I used it in the Pacific rim countries Singapore Japan

It works worldwide.. The US originally built and maintained the Global Positioning System for the Department of Defense but now is used for civilian purposes such as maritime navigation.
