you can down load maps from any where and can set it up for any where no sd card it's extra, the topo maps show the hills and valley in color and streams roads

I have the Etrex 20. It does not come with the MicroSD card, but has lots of memory anyway. Relief basemap means the map shows elevation changes (Mountains, valleys). It is common to find, on the internet, free contour maps of decent quality (20 foot or 5 meter) elevation changes, and some have limited aerial photos, but those are more often sold rather than free. GPS works worldwide, and WAAS is a competing system. The Garmin will read BOTH kinds together, and accuracy is about +/-1 meter horizontally, +/-5 meters vertically. The Etrex is made in China.

You can get free routable maps for anywhere in the world from garmin.openstreetmap.nl or pay for the official Garmin ones. The tech will work anywhere in the world. It has 1.7GB built-in memory and an empty MicroSD slot.

I used my Etrex 20 with a China map downloaded from the web earlier this month with no problem. Free Garmin-compatible maps can be downloaded fromgarmin.openstreetmap.nl,gpsfiledepot.com,openmtbmap.org/download/odbl/#maps, andwiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Map_On_Garmin/Download

you can, this is what i ordered;Garmin City Navigator Europe NT Map Card MicroSD/SD by Garmin used about $49; you might want to get a SDHD 16 gigs; I found as I got more maps, each is 5-7 gigs; I also have USA, europe and added ASIA; wonder if 32 gig would work; not sure what else to put on it; keep all files backed up on pc and external storage;

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.

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

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.

When I emailed NG, the person responded that their software works with the 60CSx. Just one week ago I first tried to download the maps into it and found that it can not be done. I emailed back a complaint and they indicated, as you did, that it only will transfer routes and waypoints. This screwed up my opportunity to use it on a vacation from which I just returned. So, I guess I'd better change my review so I don't give someone else the same misinformation.Sorry for any confusion. I was mislead by NG.

It means you can insert a separately bought microSD card (originally called TF card) to extend the built-in memory of 4 GB to up to 32+4 GB. Such cards are sold at many places, prices vary. It is not needed for operation.However, the original maps that I had on it almost filled the 4 GB, so you might need an extension if you want to upload more maps or applications. I never had the need for this, though, and there is also the option of removing existing maps and applications to only keep what you are really using.

Taiwan, and it doesn't work in LG Fusic LX550 cell, every time I put it in the phone for some reason it adds a .SonyVID file(whatever that is) and it freezes or music skips video won't play at all. called guy @ Kingston and he said it was my phone that was adding the file but it's not because I tried the card that came with phone and it works great, 64mb just not big enough. I also have a 1gb Japan from Kingston and that one works great. I don't know Kingston said theres no difference from Japan or Taiwan(said only difference is that they were manufactured in different places) but I think there is Taiwan is just not compatible with my cell. Now I'm scared to buy another Kingston cause I bought 2@ same time off Amazon and both have same problem.

No. There is one that's more advanced and much more expensive. I don't remember the model. The description will say if European maps are compatible.

Well, I have a Garmin 60CSx and use a 1Gb Micro SD card. The owner manual says that 2gb is the limit. And I can say that this space is more that enough to have most of the maps around the world. I live in Brazil, so I use the maps of Tacksource project (www.tracksource.org.br). In a discussion list about GPS, some users tested an ultra II micro-SD and the card simply burned.Maybe, with a firmware you can use large micro SDs, but I really don´t think that is necessary.

You can create waypoints and a track which you can easily upload to Google Earth. You can also for example mark a start point and waypoints as you hike and then follow them back so that you don't get lost. Unfortunately, the basemap that comes with the GPS is too large and will not show the detail of a typical topo map. It is quite easy however to download free topo maps that work quite well on the eTrex 20 or 30. Just google "topo maps for Garmin etrex". It is not difficult to do.

Hello,My experience with the GPSMAP 62 was not very good. The unit froze up several times during use and each time I had to restart the unit. Coworkers of mine use the GPSMAP 60 and really like it and I have heard the GPSMAP 64 is a good model. I recently purchased a Garmin Etrex 30 and I love it. I paid $200 and it's worth every penny. The new GLONASS technology in the etrex 30 is outstanding, I can be in the thickest timber canopy and still have >20' accuracy. I hope this helps.

I'm not sure about the subway however my opinion would be to go with the Garmin Etrex 30. They have the most recent technology, GLONASS. I work in deep canyons under dense timber canopies and have been very happy with the reception. The GPSMAP62 just doesn't acquire the number of satellites that the newer tech does. The Etrex 30 has the same bells and whistles; color display memory card capable etc. the only drawback in my opinion is a slightly smaller screen however the newer technology more than makes up for it...in my view

I do not know for sure. When I first got it it seemed to run fine with US and Canada base maps that came from factory. I updated those using the Garmin updater software tool. I put a 4gb micro SD card it it from my old unit but have never seen any indications that I really needed it. Try the Garmin website if you need more info. I am very happy with the thing. Bigger screen and faster, better menu system them my old unit.Good luck

GPS works worldwide, but you would need European maps, not US/Canada/Mexico. I don't know about availability for NI. Be careful if buying online to get the maps you want, or you may end up spending extra to get them. The 540 does not support removable memory cards.

This GPSr came with a serial, not usb, cord, so I had to purchase a serial to usb converter (Keyspan by Tripp Lite USA-19HS High-Speed USB Serial Adapter). I had to purchase a 12 volt car converter( Garmin Vehicle DC Power Adapter for eTrex and Geko 010-10203-00) . After all these years this (now discontinued by Garmin) GPSr still works well. I use it as my backup unit. Good luck! See ya'
