World-wide product? Shouldn't GPS cover pretty much everywhere?

My wife used this product in Iraq, and we have both used it in South Korea, as well as all along the East Coast of the United States without any issues. I can't vouch for coverage in the Southern Hemisphere, but anywhere from Iraq all the way up to the 38th parallel, this thing works great.

GPS works everywhere. I think I saw a map that includes Curacao. You can buy maps of just about everywhere after-market and install them quite easily. You can also create custom maps from Google Earth (or wherever you can get a Jpeg image). The custom maps can be over-laid on the on the general map. For example, if the Curacao map you buy and install does not have some detail you want, you can overlay the detail.I hope this answers your question.

I purchased a gps long ago and I'm very satisfied with it, I DON'T UNDERSTAND why you sent me this email asking me about this nonsense question, I sent positive feed back a few days after a started using the device, so please double check on your emails, it may be a mistake in your behalf. Thank you. !

Yes it does but there will be no information on distance covered. In fact, you should turn off GPS.

Man, you must have a ROCKING car wash business going. Also... pretty close. All commercially available GPS units will be about the same as far as accuracy.

As far as I know the coverage is only US if you open it using the street map. If you open it using Google Earth it will overlay anywhere.

My Litebook came with four adaptor plugs: North America, Europe, Aus/NZ/China, UK. So it should pretty much cover most areas of the world.

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.

I didn't use the GPS in New Zealand, only Australia. I will say, thought, that based on my experience with Garmin maps in Australia and in South Africa and Costa Rica, I've never ever not had the mapping product live up to the quality and thoroughness of Garmin maps. I'm 99% confident this product will give you the maps and roads you will need. To speak of the thoroughness if Garmin maps, when I used it in Costa Rica, the map even alerted me to large potholes from where the back road had been washed out.

Yes, it covers Mexico and Canada. It also includes all Central America and the northernmost parts of South America (say, to the south end of Venezuela). That stated, I have never used it outside of the US... so far. Some caution seems wise; for instance, the urban area of Caracas is not to be found on these maps (but Mexico City is). If going far south past the border, do look for a second opinion; there are crowd-sourced routable maps in Garmin format that may be more reliable.

I believe this is proprietary. From what I've experienced, it ties to the GPS software itself to supply the information. Best I can give you.

The unit could be used world wide except in war zones there the GPS could be distorted. However if you buy the unit bundled with the maps (version that ends on t) the topo-map will be specific for your country.

If this thing cannot find me standing in my own front yard, how can you expect to find you deep in Mexico. In theory if you have current maps and the GPS hardware is working you should be able to go anywhere. However, mine purchased brand new had maps that were 16 versions off and it was 300 feet off as to my GPS location. I have been working with them for weeks to get it straight and fixed. First you will not have the correct cord to connect to your computer, so you cannot update the maps without it. Then the current maps costs extra up to $100, so you are not getting a useable product properly updated out of the box.

The Gps is very good. I'm not sure how to answer your questions other than it seems to work great and kowm how hug it is at all time.

It gives Long-Lat position worldwide on land and sea but there is no hardware or software for maps. GPS location only.

I don't think Garmin has topo maps to most countries. Even if they did, you'd only be able to load a relatively small area as you're limited to 24 mb. There may be workarounds to use non Garmin maps, but they are beyond me.

I have never had my Garmin outside the US. You should probably as the Garmin Company your question.
