North America &amp; Europe maps ??? Is there a disconnect?

I wondered about that too .. although I'd trust Garmin's website and other 3rd party discussion sites ... the ?70 units are built to contain maps for both continents, and the ?80 are the first one's with MSN Direct. Perhaps there'll be a future ?90 (390/690) range that combines the two sets of new features? :) For now, I'm just wondering whether tot ake the plunge with the 660 and its FMt raffic/preloaded POIs, or wait for the MSN-direct 680 to be released (April?)!

Navigon continues to officially sell maps in Europe, but no longer officially supports North America. As a matter of fact, they ended hardware sales and support in North America years ago...friend laid off as a matter of fact. If you're tech savvy, there are unofficial, generic maps available that are supported by this unit, but you'd need to look up which file type and then download it to a flash card. I started using Google Maps on Android and traffic is only tradeoff...Google Traffic isn't quite "fully baked" yet. Stand alone GPS era has just about passed into history. :- (

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"

Mine is set up for and in the USA. It locates well here. iGo maps are available for Europe but I have not tested this unit with other maps sets. The tech support for Power Acoustik is wonderful contact them direct tech-support@poweracoustik.com or 800-832-4647 x243 Mon-Fri 8AM - 4:30PM Pacific Time.

In the one I purchased the maps for Europe are pre-loaded. Once you connect the unit to a computer they, along with the US maps are continuosly updated. Great unit.

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.

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....

It should have come with a North American map installed. Perhaps you can download it, but I would contact Garmin. I've had very good responses from email inquiries.

I believe that for a fee, you can download Europe Maps from Garmin. I'm sure this takes time, as updates take a few hours over hi speed internet.

Thank you for this information. I was about to click the buy button on this product because I wanted maps for both the US and Europe, and I wanted the lifetime updates on both. The literature and web sites are completely deceptive on this matter and I will avoid TomTom in the future as a result.

No, North America, you'll have to buy an extra map from Garmin. If you want to have both North America and Europe you'll have to add a MicroSDHC Memory Card to your nuvi. A MicroSDHC Memory Card is reasonably cheep and easily inserted into the bottom slot on your nuvi.

I've not seen any European maps on ours, but also haven't done updates for a long time, so could be there now.

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.
