My experience, two years ago (and things may have changed) is that Garmin's maps, at least for Spain and France, are so inaccurate as to be a hazard. At least at that time their satellite system worked perfectly for North America and miserably for Europe. A TomTom, which I found problematic in the US, works wonderfully in Europe. My advice, ask before using. Unless things have changed, the Garmin will steer you wrong at least 50 percent of the time. It is annoying and even dangerous. Ask a taxi driver. I have never found one in Spain who uses Garmin, and there must be a reason for that.

Press "Where to", then "Address" then "Change State/Country", then "Change Country" then enter the country. Good luck!

They should come up automatically when the device searches for satellite. My works all over Europe except certain Balkan states like Bosnia that are not available.

You have to download the maps from Garmin. Download the application and then connect your GPS, the European maps will take up about 8 GB of storage space on your micro SD card.

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.

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.

Not for Europe, NO. If you buy it here you get Canada, the USA and Mexico. You may be able to contact the TomTom website to buy one with a European map.

Mine worked in Europe in every country I visited, Prague, Switzerland, Germany, France and even worked in Costa Rica. It wasn't great in Costa Rica as I havent updated the maps since 2009. Mine worked! I am not sure if it will work in Ireland you may want to check the specs, the maps online but I did get the one that specifically said European maps.

I would say that it will play in Europe, I bought it from USA and am from Australia so an entirely different region. No Problems. Good luck.

After u turn on the gps, click on "settings" at the bottom right corner. Using the arrow on the left side of the screen, scroll down to "language & keyboard" (lips). Click on that. "Voice language" appears at the top & click on that. Using the arrow on the left side of the screen scroll down to the preferred portugues language you want. Select your preferred language on the other choices of text and keyboard if you choose using the curved arrow to get back to the previous screen menu.

Hello Chelsea, Mine bought in the US didn't have it, but it should probably exist some plan with European maps. Regards Michel

I am very upset about this. The Amazon website states that maps of US, Canada, Mexico, and Europe are included with lifetime updates. I bought this unit for European driving and bought this specifically for free lifetime European map updates. Even if you go to TomTom's web site, it mentions free lifetime updates. No where on the page for this device does it say that European map updates are not included. I called TomTom and the customer service was horrible. After 20 minutes on hold I explained to a "supervisor" that this was deceptive and wrong and he hung up on me. This company is deceptive and has disdain for it's customers.

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.

Should work fine as long as you get UK maps. If you are using first in US, you need to reboot to get it to work in the UK. Reboot by shutting it off. Then while touching screen in lower right corner, turn on unit. Wait until you get reset screen. Answer and it will reboot in new locations.

Does this Garmin have maps that are loaded for Europe already--we will be traveling in Germany

I would update the maps when you purchase it. I am still using mine with a few small glitches in the maps and it isn't a big deal, but I would update them if I were going to Europe. When I was in Italy in 2012 they worked flawless!
