World mapping question

Hi all

????I'm currently based in the USA and I'm off to th UK for a few months, if I was to buy a 520+ over there would the mapping be OK for use in the US or does the UK only have European maps and the US one US maps?

Hope that makes sense lol
TIA
  • Garmin sells the units with regional maps. The UK unit will have European maps and the US version NA maps.

    It's more convenient to have the region of the unit to be where you will use it most often.

    For places outside the unit's region that you visit infrequently, you can get free maps.

    You can purchase out-of-region maps from Garmin but there isn't much reason** to do so (and you don't get updates for them).

    ** The "popularity routing" is only available with maps from Garmin.
