Definitive answer: yes, the 2577LT model comes with Europe maps. I confirmed with Garmin before I bought it on Amazon. This is the "transatlantic model" that has both North America and Europe maps preloaded. The Amazon summary table is wrong in saying it is just North America. I just received the device and confirmed it has the Europe maps.

There were no European maps on this unit. You can check the description on garmin.com to check that.

No. But you can select different maps based on location and load them from your computer.

Hello,we'd like to inform you that the GPS is pre-installed US Maps well as it's sold on Amazon.com. If you need the 3 countries maps,we will send you the links and tell you how to install them well when you get the GPS,thanks for your attention.

Honestly, I believe the maps are US/Canada only if you bought it here in the States. However, many models offer other maps via download. You would have to obviously pay up (almost as much as a new GPS unit or more) for that. Totally not worth it if you asked me. So to answer your question, the 540 does not have maps for Europe on it.

There are other maps available. If you get the additional maps & load them I can't see where you'd have any problems.

Do these units have both the European and North American data bases loaded, or do you have to buy the European data cards seperately?

European maps are about $89. The question is does this GPS have sufficient memory to add a European map? Some of the earlier models let you add an SD card. I don't think this one does.

Yes and no. I received an email for the latest maps and they (all in one file for N. America) came on a CD for only $7 shipping. It is a strong update. You can also download maps of Europe, etc. right through the excellent TomTom Home software. It is simple to install the data onto one or more SD cards. You have to keep careful track of your serial number (it's not hard to find on the unit) to install updates, since they only work with your particular unit, as a way to prevent piracy. Customer service is very friendly and helpful, though if you have any problems.

If it is preloaded with the maps for both us and europe, then all you have to do is touch the wrench icon, which will bring up maps; click on maps, then check the map you want to be the default or chosen one....it has been 8 years since I got ours, so you need to check to make sure the maps are preloaded....

Yes, my 920 came preloaded with maps of North America and some maps (I believe the Central Europe) of Europe, but TomTom has never offered any upgrades on those maps. Only on North American ones. After about 13 months the battery died and I found that is not replaceable and TomTom wanted me to buy a new unit. I am now using my smart phone for navigation. It works better and all over the world.

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"

Not so fast. I purchased the unit back in March of 2015 and the European maps were NOT PRELOADED. I had to contact TOMTOM customer service and send them proof of purchase. MAJOR HASSLE. I ended up returning the unit. Happens too often that vendors on Amazon have a poor understanding of the product they are selling.

Hi, ocean,I don't know whether it contains Europe maps. It died even when I was trying to update US maps, not saying Europe maps. I don't recommend this unit AT All.

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

Yes. What you need to do is to download the maps and you are ready to navigate.

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.
