I can only assume, since my Garmin allows me to preference a female voice
with a distinct Aussie accent, that she would know how to navigate me around
Oz, though she occasionally has problems with Spanish street names -- when
she tries to say Avenida des las pulgas or Camarillo for example.
Seriously, as I understand it, if I'm going to another country, all I need
to do is connect my Garmin to my laptop with its USB cable, then to the
Garmin internet site, and after charging me a little money, Garmin will
download
all the necessary info that I need for the country I'm going to.
Best
Gary
