Will I also get lifetime maps for South Africa on this device?

No, and I am considering purchasing a new GPS unit that does include lifetime map updates. It won't cost much more than buying new maps for this one. most directions are fine, but there are some changes since 2010 when I bought it and I would update if I could.

You should be able to just download/buy the maps for it, then just update the system, maybe?

Yes you can seamlessly. Buy the UK map on a separate chip. The US map will remain on the device's memory. You can always resell the UK chip after you return and no longer need it.

Yes. You will need the maps for Europe. Below is a list of areas covered in Europe. If you can not specify what region you want when ordering, you will just connect your device to your computer and download the maps you require via the Tom Tom homepage. the As far as the technology working it is a GPS so it is operating on an array of satellites so it really doesn't matter where you are on earth. Hope this helps. Countries fully covered (99.9%): Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Greece, Italy, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Hungary, Malta, Monaco, Norway, Poland, Portugal, San Marino, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the Republic of Ireland, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, the Canary Islands and the Vatican City. Countries partially covered: Azores & Madeira, Bulgaria, Croatia including coverage extension on Adriatic coast, Latvia, Romania, Ukraine, Russian Federation, Turkey and Ukraine .

You should ask Garmin as they would have to have the maps you need to load to use it there.

The device will work in Australia (or anywhere else in the world, for that matter), but it comes with maps for North America. Australia/New Zealand city/highway maps are $189AUD (see https://buy.garmin.com/en-AU/AU/maps/on-the-road-maps/city-navigator-nt/city-navigator-sup-sup-australia-new-zealand-nt/prod116482.html). Since this device has been discontinued, you probably can't get free map updates (and I'm not sure they're available outside North America, anyway).

On the gps, I don't know if the maps can be updated to Europe, Asia, etc, there might be information on the manufactures web site,

Yes it will. Provided that you have subscribed for international data roaming. Or you use a local pre-paid/post-paid data card. There is an option to enable overseas roaming, however you need to access the option via the software.

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.

No but you can purchase map upgrades ONE TIME from Garmin that are good for the life of the Unit. It does come with lifetime traffic though.

I do not think it will since the maps are for US and Canada. Unless you can verify that you can load up the maps for your country.

It depends on which area of the continent you plan on going to. You might need an adapter, but again depends on which area of Africa.

I order it for my frend . It is not mine. But i have seen only USA and Canada maps. I dont know if it is posible to use it anywhere else. Or may be update maps.

My Via 1500 came brand new with lifetime maps. From day 1 the web site said it was expired. I download peripheral stuff but as far as I know the maps are not included. They do offer an update for $70. Thanks!"My Tom Tom" is the software for the 1500. "Tom Tom Home" will not work.I tried to deal with Tom Tom support but got nowhere. Good luck

It will work only if the device was preloaded with the map for that corresponding part of the world, not if it was on a SD card. The other thing that may work is the GARMIN dvd with life time update. I had to return my key since I was not able to install the update (original with life timeNorth America map preloaded, Europe on a one time SD card) The lifetime Europe update would not install. I had to call Garmin to confirm this.

No. That's a separate purchase. However the device can use the maps from OpenStreetMap. Plenty of instructions on the web on how to do it. I use OSM maps and they work fine.
