How do we get maps for Europe, is it also by the start-up listed website, or can they be pre-programmed?

Good Luck, I received 2 of these GPS Units and neither worked. The seller requested I remove my negative feedback from the site prior to a refund being issued. Had to get Amazon involved to resolve this mater. In my opinion this is a buyer-be-ware seller offering a low quality item and attempting to publish false feedback to potential customers !!!!!!!

Does it or doesn't it include updates of European maps? Can TomTom set the record straight on this?

I have not tried to look at Europe or GB on my new tom tom, it's in my wifes vehicle. The tom tom I use everyday {3 years old} does not have those maps, only the U.S.

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 will probably have to pay extra for the maps for EU but yes it will work.

It comes w/European maps. I haven't tried to get updates, but I have been led to believe that those are available at no charge -- for a lifetime. One function I used a number of times was (under "Tools") was "Where Am I?" This worked right off the bat when we got to Switzerland. This came in handy when we visited a large city especially later on when we were in France. I'd park the car, go to the Where Am I function, give the location a name and save it to Favorites. Later, when we wanted go back to the car, I'd bring up the name (I'd call it "Car"), and the Garmin would direct me back without a problem - finding the car in a strange city would have been quite a challenge without the Garmin.

Yes, but you need to buy the maps regions outside the US/Canada. The US/Canada map comes with the device. Looking at the TomTom web site, the map for the UK + The Republic of Ireland (one map) is $59.95; for all of Western Europe it's $79.95.

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.

Yes additional maps can be purchased online by connections you device to your computer using the included USB cable and then downloading Tomtoms software, through which you setup an account and go to the tomtom web site. There are a number of different EU maps - northern, western, south etc with different features and map detail.

It means if you have life time maps Its just for the USA if not you will have to pay for Europe maps. Go to garmins web sit for Europe maps, but there not cheap.

No. Few Garmin units have European maps built in and none on Amazon, I believe. You need to buy a European map mini-SD card which can be installed in the unit. It costs about $80-90 extra.

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!
