Bowie MeMe Posted August 11, 2010 #1 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I have a 2009 Garmin GPS. It was very useful once it found itself in California and gave up the Maryland home site. Will I be able to use it for touring in Quebec, PEI and NS. Jack tells me where to go and how to get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the GPSR aspect of it (the GPS Receiver) will work just fine and give you your lat/lon, it may, or may not have maps for Canada. Check on your GPS and try locating a map of Montreal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underwatr Posted August 11, 2010 #3 Share Posted August 11, 2010 If you zoom your map way out and scroll it you should be able to scroll over to Canada and scroll back in. That's how I verified that my Garmin Nuvi 350 has maps of Canada. If you post your model number we can help you look up what maps come on it.

Naps Posted August 11, 2010 #4 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I have the 260W. Go to the section where you can input a destination. It should give you an option to choose US or Canada. That's how I found mine will be good for Halifax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smeyer418 Posted August 11, 2010 #5 Share Posted August 11, 2010 almost all 2009 Garmin have Canada loaded in GPS sold in the US. go to the screen that says find address... change state and then hit change country....type in Canada press done and if Canada shows as a possibility Canadian maps are loaded.

Putterdude Posted August 11, 2010 #6 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Most will but I would check your model to see what is maps are loaded in it to be sure. I have seen some weird combinations of maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piratesmate123 Posted August 11, 2010 #7 Share Posted August 11, 2010 As an experiment the other day, I put in a destination of 1 Main St., Halifax, NS. (I used NS as the state). It seemed to work, as I was given directions all the way. Tomorrow, I'm going to try it for Saint John, NB (use NB as the state). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trophy_23 Posted August 11, 2010 #8 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I am pretty sure all Garmins are preloaded with North America (if they are Nuvi models), some will also have Europe depending on the model. You will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underwatr Posted August 11, 2010 #9 Share Posted August 11, 2010 If you buy your Nuvi in Europe it might come with European maps but not North American maps. The Nuvis with model numbers ending in 70 or 75 ship with both North America and Europe maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
