And there are ones available for purchase for your region and other continents at https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?cID=253&fKeys=FILTER_SERIES_CITYNAVIGATORNT. There are preloaded units that come with maps of North America and Europe, but I know of no other combinations. Hope this helps.

You'll want one of the newer models with a high-sensitivity chipset. It will take two clicks to mark a waypoint. Be aware that consumer-grade handheld units will generally give you accuracy of 10-30', depending upon conditions. The Oregon 550 series has a built-in camera for geotagged photos (http://gpstracklog.com/2010/01/garmin-oregon-550-review.html), but if you go that route, I'd buy from someone with a lot of turnover (Amazon perhaps) to get a later production run with the improved screen (http://gpstracklog.com/2010/01/garmin-oregon-550-review.html).
