Is the GPS will support world wide? Basically in Asia?

You get N America maps, but maps are available to buy from e-bay, or there are other ways to get maps.

Hello Danny, You may change the language to Pilipino. Many of the GPS's can load international maps, but they cost extra to have them loaded and those are available through the manufacturer like TomTom, Garmin, etc. We hope this helps, and thanks for your interest!

I have another recommendation. Don't buy a GPS; buy a phone. Nokia phones with GPS have free OVI maps that include points of interests. The Nokia 5230 is a four band GSM phone that will work in China, with the addition of a Chinese phone card and the unlock code from your cellular provider, unless you buy the phone unlocked from Nokia. You do have to tweak the phone a bit to get the Chinese characters for points of interest; I found the instructions on the web. You need to download the map to your phone from the OVI store site, but maps are available for countries all over the world. The phone costs about $130

Yes I bought this specifically because I travel extensively for work reasons. It is globally unlocked out of the box. I can confirm. I was able to use it inost of Asia and Europe's. You may have to go in and manually select the specific radio to use for the county your in. It alaways found a signal but sometimes manually tweaking it got faster service.

Yes, any where there is a GPS signal, it works. Have used it in Germany, France, and USA. the Caribbean definitely has GPS.

Good Eveining, The GPS is normally the current maps of USA and CANADA. I would assume that they would be the up to date ones. For the updates you would probably have to speak with the manufacturer. Unfortunately the cost is your decision. There are pros and cons for GPS so i would just think about if it is worth it to you financially. Thank you.

I believe all GPS satellites have orbits that cover the entire inhabited World. The i-gotU devices work fine in Europe--I've never been to South America but they did work in Belize and Mexico.

Yes, The GPS works on anyplace on the earth since you are outside and sometimes works inside the house too (trough the window).About accuracy: I don't know if Brazil has a Station on Earth to better accuracy (WAAS) but I do exercise on Curitiba-PR many times a year whena go to visit my mom and I feel very comfortable with accuracy.... If I've crossed the street it is show me on map or Google Earth that I have changed the sidewalk. That's is fair enough to me....

Yes you may want to go through the compatible models list and find if your gps is there, but there are many models listed so I am assuming so

I think so, but I only downloaded the US. You should contact Garmin to make sure.

It uses Google Earth, so I must assume that it can be used worldwide as long as Google has it covered. This device does not track in real time. You must retrieve the device and download the track to your PC.

world wide should refer to maps this unit does not have GPS so I think this may be an error in the listing. This units does not have gps but if it did world wide base maps are pre loaded maps by Garmin used for navigation with optional cards available for more detailed viewing for rivers lakes etc.

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.

I'm not really sure, I returned this GPS because it wasn't for North America. They left that little detailed out

I have this precisely working in TURKEY.. I don't think the GPS technology is based on continental boundaries :) It should globally be functional, whenever the sky is visible.

Yes 100% sure, it will work fine every place on the earth because 12 satellites giving accurate position directly to all GPS devices including this one. You are right my dear only need to load Australia Map. Further more you can write directly to me::: faizrasool@gmail.com.

No, just North America. Extra maps can be purchased and installed on the GPS
