Garmin Nuvi Map Updates +1-844-761-5980

Thousands of Americans decide to vacation in Europe each year, and many of them hire a car when traveling as it lets them have more freedom to drive between countries and explore much more of the continent.  Owners of Garmin Nuvi GPS products who are planning to use their device in Europe should be aware that not all Garmins purchased in the United States will have European mapping on them.

Garmin Nuvis bought in the USA will have City Navigator NT for North America pre-installed on it.  This is the name of the mapping software that Garmin uses and only covers the USA and Canada. What this means is that when you arrive in Europe and plug your Nuvi in, it will not be able to navigate you anywhere due to not having the most up to date maps for Europe installed.

However, you can fix this issue very easily by simply buying new Garmin Nuvi map updates so that you have City Navigator NT for Europe installed on your product.  This one-off download will cost $89 US Dollars so is quite cheap considering the usage you should get from it.  If you own an older Nuvi from 2007 or 2008 then you might not have the physical memory on the device to load on a European map – if that is the case then Garmin also offer the purchase on an SD Card so you can run the software straight off that – and you can also easily carry it when on your travels.

If you want free Garmin map updates for your holidays then you will be out of luck as Garmin only offer free map updates to over-write an existing version of your pre-installed maps – so in an American customer’s case that would be City Navigator NT for North America and not Europe.
