I don't remember but I would never buy another TomTom. Mine locked up during its 13th month and TomTom admitted that it was a computer glitch and nothing I did. We tried several times but could not get it to work so they told me to buy another unit. This was a $400 GPS that was less than one month out of warranty and failed due to an admitted computer glitch and they want me to buy a new one. No repair, no trade in - nothing. I explained that I would buy a new one but it would not be one of theirs. Bought a Garmin and have never had a problem - bought one for my wife and same thing - no problems. Good luck if you buy one.

Yes, my 920 came preloaded with maps of North America and some maps (I believe the Central Europe) of Europe, but TomTom has never offered any upgrades on those maps. Only on North American ones. After about 13 months the battery died and I found that is not replaceable and TomTom wanted me to buy a new unit. I am now using my smart phone for navigation. It works better and all over the world.

the person who said he was never offered european updates must have not asked when he had his european maps loaded. Mine is now 7 years old, much abused and may have just failed today. The reason that I am visiting now. It doesn't have enough internal memory to handle both map sets, but there is a slot for a memory card. Plug one in and all will be well. I get off the plane turn it on and it asks for the other set. I say yes and it happens.

I thought it was just North America, but I could be wrong. Looking at the product features now, it says "Preloaded maps for North America and Europe, includes over 8 million points of interest."

Yes, if you purchase the SD card with Europe maps. I personally went to local office supply store and got a great deal on a blank SD card, then downloaded the maps, leaving room for other maps if necessary. I recently used these maps in the UK and they worked perfectly. I was a bit disappointed when I bought this Garmin and it did not even have sufficient space internally to download the maps.

You can buy maps of Europe on a micro SD Card for $99. Powering is the same.

this model has United states, Canada, and Mexico maps loaded, it does not have enough internal memory to load any more maps, you would have to delete this map (make sure you back it up first) and then buy another map if you were to go outside of these countries

Yes, according to the website: Preloaded street maps Yes (Transatlantic).There are a variety of Garmin GPS devices that come preloaded with mapping not just for the United States, but also for Europe. Any nuvi that ends with 70, 75 or 77 in the model number will have preloaded mapping for North America and Europe.

Yes, of course. Tell me which country map do you need. I'll install the last version for you.

Hello Chelsea, Mine bought in the US didn't have it, but it should probably exist some plan with European maps. Regards Michel

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.

Go to Garmin.com and you will find that there are city maps of Europe available for your device. . .

Honestly, I believe the maps are US/Canada only if you bought it here in the States. However, many models offer other maps via download. You would have to obviously pay up (almost as much as a new GPS unit or more) for that. Totally not worth it if you asked me. So to answer your question, the 540 does not have maps for Europe on it.

No you don't download European maps. But be warn the batteries does not stay charged on the unit. If I could return it I would.

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"

Yes and no. I received an email for the latest maps and they (all in one file for N. America) came on a CD for only $7 shipping. It is a strong update. You can also download maps of Europe, etc. right through the excellent TomTom Home software. It is simple to install the data onto one or more SD cards. You have to keep careful track of your serial number (it's not hard to find on the unit) to install updates, since they only work with your particular unit, as a way to prevent piracy. Customer service is very friendly and helpful, though if you have any problems.

It does not come with pre-installed maps, but you don't have to buy from Garmin

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.
