We'll be traveling to Southeast Asia this summer. I just need a GPS device to navigate the city. Do I need to download a map for each country or city I visit ?

Yes. There are TOPO maps wich are more for hiking and there are the road maps.

Hi, Yes you need to download maps for each particular region. I have experience with tourist map but not for city navigation. And while it is great for hiking it could be less convenient in a dense city area.Attila

Yes you will have to download each region. I would not recommend this item for your trip. I used mine for about a week and then it went back in the box. Too small and difficult to read.

It only has maps from USA and canada. I m from mexico, you can buy the maps at the web site of garmin but are expensive.

I purchased GPS in US. It had US maps loaded. I bought a separate mini sd card with maps of Europe. You can probably find one for Venezula, but it did not come on GPS.

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.

no gps, it does have the ability to use wifi to determine your location with occasional accuracy. I sometimes use my phone as a hotspot and this works to a degree but, its nothing that could be used for navigation. at less than $300 (64gb) at Lenovo right now, its still a bargain imho.

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

As long as your country/territory is satellite equipped, mapped or Garmin compatible etc..

Check your local Garmin dear in Australia either another GPS device shops or buy online Australia map from Garmin. Like me I installed from Saudi Arabia for all Middle East and also from Pakistan to use inside Pakistan.

The answers below I believe to be incorrect. GPS is global positioning by satellites. The satellite signals you can get essentially anywhere in the world (yes these are military based) and the phone/tablet knows its position. The problem is that to be useful you need a map (you know the picture with roads and what not). Google maps comes through internet (WiFi or cellular signal) and is not stored locally so it won't work. However, there are lots of apps that download maps and store them locally on the device. With this method the GPS will work fine for routing from New York to California and anywhere else you have maps for.

The short answer is NO. This device is only capable of calculating the GPS coordinate of your current location. It is not designed to guide you to any destination. If you decide to purchase an expensive Offline Map software (or Application, which you can download in your smartphone), then this device can provide you with additional accuracy, which is better than the accuracy of in-built GPS of the smartphones.

Well, the one I bought has only North America and Europe Maps preloaded on it, and these can be updated regularly. You should contact Garmin directly through their website to inquire if you can upload maps from other regions onto the unit. Good luck.

The GPS is an separated accesorie, you must get the GPS adapter, see in the espicifications of Pioneer and in that GPS you can download the maps of the city and country you want.

No. Just put the GPS receiver on your dashboard and plug it into your laptop computer. Of course the CD must be installed first. You then can plan your trip using any stops or via's before you depart.

It would depend on where you purchase the device. It should have the area it was purchased in. However if you need a map of a different region you can always purchase and download it.
