    Mine's the US variant, naturally.... It has preloaded maps for the US (includes the mainland, Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands), Canada, and Europe.

    Try searching for roadguide.ph and OSM... They have accurate maps.... According to some, the current shared version of roadguideph is better than OSM's outside of MM.... Plus, they have lots of landmarks et al..... (I have been using OSM since I got my unit last year since what roadguide was sharing then was practically bare version )..... This, I will find out in the next couple of days...

    That's to be expected inside a thick concrete building. But outside like here (and in-between buildings), my Garmin Nuvi 275T performed just fine.

    I mean I lost the signal when I had the car parked inside a parking garage. But as soon as I stepped outside, the Garmin resumed right where it left off.

    You are welcome, bro.

    BTW, have used mine as far south as Atimonan, Quezon and as far north as Baguio... Have also used it during our last trip to Calatagan, Batangas, via Tagaytay... And this weekend, to Alaminos and Bolinao, Pangasinan..... Don't get the one with all the bells and whistles, bro... The basic unit will do here in the Philippines. (The current shared version of the roadguide has a lot of landmarks,- restaurants, gas stations, shopping areas and other points of interest with it....)

    Enjoy!
