I live in Brazil, but I want to buy this watch in the US. Does the GPS from this watch work in Brazil?

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....

I live in Brasil and have Forerunner 110. Works well here, in US, in Europe. GPS systems are global. Sometimes it takes more time to get signal but works perfectly here in Rio. Connecting it to Garmim Express I can see roads/trails and even altitude change on the map. There is no geographic restriction. Should be the same with your cell phone or other Garmim GPS devices. My Garmin GPS system for my car works in USA, South America, Europe... never had problems.

I could not find a definite answer on that, but I do suggest you contact Garmin directly. Their Brazil support page is: http://www.garmin.com/br/support/ and you can call or e-mail them. The U.S. page is: http://www.garmin.com/us/support/contact. Best of luck!

I'm from Brazil and I use a Forerunner 10. The GPS is pretty accurate when used in open spaces.

Currently, WAAS satellite coverage is only available in North America. There are no ground reference stations in South America, so even though GPS users there can receive WAAS, the signal has not been corrected and thus would not improve the accuracy of their unit.

I have this precisely working in TURKEY.. I don't think the GPS technology is based on continental boundaries :) It should globally be functional, whenever the sky is visible.

I believe all GPS satellites have orbits that cover the entire inhabited World. The i-gotU devices work fine in Europe--I've never been to South America but they did work in Belize and Mexico.

. I think it should work with any carrier around the world because its unlocked. But make sure that the watch has GSM network. Which make it work overseas.

You can buy maps for just about any country. Garmin supports over 100. The basic one comes with US and Canada but you can specify Brazil when you order. You can also buy maps for other countries as you need it. I bought the unit with NA but later on added EU and Japan. You can decide which map to use by downloading it using the PC or MAC app. Hope this helps

I' m using the South American maps with a garminNuvi 1370 successfully. Do not know about other models, but Garmin may be able to confirm compatibility-- good luck

I have used the SkyCaddie GPS golf Watch in the U.S.(Texas) and in Mexico. It worked very well in both countries. Even in a remote golf course in Mexico and I was able to obtain the GPS signal. If you do not receive the GPS signal, there is a problem wiith your watch.

Hi Jander. Yes, it is possible to use it in Brazil. It works in a very good performance with its all default settings and features. Go ahead! It is one of the best investments that I've ever made. Cheers!

I don't know. What I can tell you is it takes forever to get the GPS (over 5 min ) I use the watch less and less.

Yes, for the most part. However, I've noticed that it has occasionally been off, mostly overestimating my speed and distance. My other complaint is that it takes a few minutes to locate the gps signal. It also seems that the watch functions better when fully charged.

Hello, Jos! I bought this to take to Brazil. It did not work at all. We called Samsung in the US and they said they could not fix because it is sold in the US illegally (grey market). I had to return and get the refund (lost 80 usd). I would not recommend. Regards, Marina.

I have used the watch in the US, UK, France and Italy without problems. I purchased the watch in the US and really enjoy sailing with it.
