I had the europe maps loaded. I used it to travel all over the UK, a bit of France and Germany. Got back to the US and had the US maps loaded. Not a bad sat nav but be very careful of the settings. Going down the autobahn, carriageway, and freeways, it would act stupid and have me exit the freeway, drive in a side road for no reason and then back on the freeway. It's advertised as being able to walk around with playing tourist, but the battery sucks. I would go with garmin again but a more updated version. The flip up antenna is antiquated and gets in the way. There are better models out there. I had the europe maps loaded. I used it to travel all over the UK, a bit of France and Germany.

I have only used it in the UK where it works well. During a recent update there was insufficient memory. I inserted a card and completed the update. To answer your question on how much memory - not enough.

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.

I do not know for sure. When I first got it it seemed to run fine with US and Canada base maps that came from factory. I updated those using the Garmin updater software tool. I put a 4gb micro SD card it it from my old unit but have never seen any indications that I really needed it. Try the Garmin website if you need more info. I am very happy with the thing. Bigger screen and faster, better menu system them my old unit.Good luck

Yes, if you purchase the SD card with Europe maps. I personally went to local office supply store and got a great deal on a blank SD card, then downloaded the maps, leaving room for other maps if necessary. I recently used these maps in the UK and they worked perfectly. I was a bit disappointed when I bought this Garmin and it did not even have sufficient space internally to download the maps.

sorry, i do not know but i can recommend something that DOES have maps of europe, namely WAYZ, which is an app you can get for any smart phone, and is -- sorry amazon -- a thousand times better than the garmin. it leads you around traffic jams, and has much gentler manners to boot.

the person who said he was never offered european updates must have not asked when he had his european maps loaded. Mine is now 7 years old, much abused and may have just failed today. The reason that I am visiting now. It doesn't have enough internal memory to handle both map sets, but there is a slot for a memory card. Plug one in and all will be well. I get off the plane turn it on and it asks for the other set. I say yes and it happens.

Yes it uses Openstreet Map that are detailed. IMO they look better than the maps on my old edge 605.

No, it has it's own built in maps ... which are fairly good. Nice about this is the fact that good maps are included. I bought a different brand and returned it because you had to purchase for an additional cost more detailed maps

There is an identical model in europe, same number, with lifetime european map updates. Depending on how much use you will have in Europe, having a 2nd gps but both with lifetime map updates might be more economical, as one update can cost $100. I have a 2577LT and I find it difficult to find addresses in rural area or very common street names in France, due to the way the unit searches.

Seeing that your post is 2 months old, you've probably found out whether this device has good coverage in Budapest and/or Prague. I'd like to hear more on Budapest and Hungary, since there is a Hungarian company which sells a separate detailed map of Hungary (incl. Budapest), which is really good. Is it a good buy comparing to what is included in City Navigator 9?

Yes it is and it works quite nicely. Once you have downloaded your latest map info from the web site and transfer it to this MicroSD and plug it into the Garmin 1400 series. Power up and in a few moments you have everything at your fingertips. You are no longer limited to the amount of map info you can have... you now have ample memory for all of the map info, US, Canada and Mexico.

Hi this is trelectronic. Thank yoif your question. I provide update information for you There is website address that you can download map updates. The unit included 2013 worldwide map.

Yep, I just replied to your latest comment on your review. Although I find the lack of detailed street names annoying if not ridiculous, I'm not quite to the point to where I would abandon Garmin all together. Quite a few of their units, like my much older Quest, do show street names. By the way, if you want to check out an excellent site for downloading POIs, icons, sounds, etc go to: http://www.poi-factory.com

Yes Wojciech Jablonka, I wrote that more than a year ago. I´ve just downloaded the last firmware version and now is possible to use 4Gb micro sd-card.About the limit of img files. I really agree that in just one trip you will not need all of these maps, so that´s not really a problem. Brazil is a Continental country and all the maps that I need has more or less 200 Mb. If you go to Europe and for example use the City Navigator Europe from Garmin you will need 1,5Gb. So, 4Gb is more than enough for 99% of people who uses GPSs.

Only US maps. No other maps. I Inquired about candian maps but never received. Plan on US only and you won't be disappointed as I was.
