do I have to buy a nav card for Austria, or does the product come already programmed?

Hello, Thank you for your request. Austria is already installed on this unit and therefore you do not have to buy a separate map.

Answer from Titantech: Yes, we can preload the EUROPE Navigation for you before shipping out. Any problem, please let us know it. Thanks.

Yes, it does work in Europe. You will probably have to download the Europe data base though. Navigon made in Germany and very popular there.

The one I bought was set up with North America maps. I am sure you can obtain European maps. If you buy in Europe, I don't see why it would not have European maps. Garmin is world-wide, with a good selection of languages. I just bought a 50LM, five-inch, which is cheaper and I like better. For English, 50LM has Samantha who speaks very clearly with an American accent. It does not have traffic though. I haven't used the 2455LT traffic feature yet. Garmin has so many models that it is easy to be confused.

The model I purchased was the Nuvi 2597. It came with US maps already on it but no other countries that I am aware of. I recommend you can visit the Garmin website for specific information about how to get the software for the particular maps you are looking to add. I believe there are maps for other countries that can be added for approximately $50.00. I personally paid someone to add the maps for me as I am in Costa Rica. I was apprehensive because I did not want to risk paying for the software online, and then if it does not work, I could experience a difficult time being reimbursed. I wanted to know that I was getting exactly what I paid for, so I chose that route. I hope this is helpful. Good luck with your search.

It doesn't matter. ALL of its maps (incl Europe) get a free update within the first 30 days of purchase (I just bought mine). Just update the maps with the initial free map update BEFORE you register the subscription to lifetime free maps on North America.And, of course, both NA (& Mexico) & all of Europe will not fit on the WTE at the same time. So update North America first. Then move it to your PC's HDD. Then update the Europe map (download it ALL). Then put the Europe map over on your HDD and put North America back on your 540. The NA maps come out 4 times a year. Why not update them? It's free and not a hassle. It takes about 45 min. It doesn't matter.

Hi John. I'd check with Lowrance on this as several things are question marks. geofencing is one issue. So are the maps. If the unit is being sold from the U.S. (new or used) it probably has the North American maps and that does you no good. If it's new from an Australian dealer you'll want to verify that it has the correct maps, not the U.S. default.

nope, All you have to do is to get a simcard, and activate it online. This seller will send you the codes right away. ;) Good luck

No new maps yet. You've got Navteq 2008a maps.Software updates: http://esupport.sony.com/perl/select-system.pl?DIRECTOR=DRIVER&SR;=nav:service_support:electronics:drivers_software:esup&ref;=http%3A//www.sony.com/index.phpSelect your country and type in NV-U44 in "Option 1". If you need to update your software, follow the instructions, which also tell you to install the nav-u Tool software. The whole operation will take about an hour, because the update does a backup.

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.

Their email is available via amazon if you follow the links. I emailed them my vin number and they responded the next day telling me the navigation system I wanted was compatible with my car, so I bought it. It was delivered promptly and works fine.

You have to contact step 2... But you'll need the bar code on the box (at least I did)

I saw the Navigation kit for the 770 on Nokia's site, but it seems limited to European markets (and maps).

I have had my Garmin Nuvi 1370T for the past four years, and have used it extensively in Europe, always with great satisfaction. It is supplied with the programming for Europe. Encourage you to buy one soon, as it has been replaced by another model which costs $495., even from Amazon.

NO! very misleading. I bought this model last year for Germany trip and did not have a map package. Was too late when I got there so I spent a month without a gps.

You have to purchase them, but you won't get any new, because garmin changed format. Don't know, if you can load BlueChart *G2*, But old BlueCharts will do. Last one for Europe is from year 2009.
