Good advice Doug. And Gary can save even more by buying the UK map instead of the entirety of Europe.

A better option is to buy the less expensive model and then purchase the SD-card version of the Europe map, specifically: Garmin City Navigator Europe NT 2012 Map Card MicroSD/SD. This is particularly advantageous if you are not planning to take many trips to Europe, because with the map on the card, you can share it, give it to a friend, or you can sell it! So, it is like renting the map. If you purchase the download version of the map it will be locked to your GPS and you can not recover your cost unless you sell the entire GPS unit. Also, if you decide to upgrade your GPS, or it stops working, you can use the map on SD-card in your new GPS.

I am going to buy my first Garmin. It will be used mostly in US and Canada but have a trip planned to Scotland. Would it be best to buy the 2475 with US/Canada/Europe maps preloaded or just buy the US/Canada and then a microSD card?
