Garmin zumo XT2 Questions and Answers

Question: I'm interested in the garmin zumo XT2, however I am spending a lot of time in Japan and I note from your product links etc that a map for Japan is not available, is that correct? I can also buy the product here in Japan (with Japan maps) albeit I don't know yet if I can then download UK/Europe maps onto it when I am home. Can you advise please?

Answer: That is correct, to our knowledge Garmin do not produce a Garmin City Navigator map for Japan. I would therefore recommend that you purchase the Garmin zumo XT2 from Japan, with preloaded Japanese mapping. For use in Europe I would recommend that you purchase Garmin City Navigator NTU 2024 Maps of Europe microSD/SD card:

IMPORTANT: Purchasing the above map will NOT include topographic maps for Europe. The Garmin City Navigator NTU 2024 Maps of Europe microSD/SD card include street-level road detail only.

The Garmin zumo XT2 purchased from ourselves is preloaded with topograhpic maps with 3D terrain and street level maps for UK, Europe and the Middle East. Africa, including Tracks4Africa, North America (USA and Canada), South America, Australia and New Zealand maps are available as a free download via Garmin Express.

Follow up Question: Many thanks for your prompt reply. I'm in Japan now so will give Garmin Japan a call and see if they can confirm that I will be able to install the UK/Europe maps onto a XT2 bought in Japan – hopefully the answer is yes but I was told late yesterday that previous Zumo versions couldnt have Japan/non-Japan on same device due to an incompatibility of the software... crazy so hopefully that will be sorted now.

Follow up Answer: If Garmin Japan are able to sell you the maps for Japan and you will predominately use the Garmin zumo XT2 in Europe you could buy the sat nav from ourselves and add the Japanese maps. That is another way you could purchase the Garmin zumo XT2 and the maps you require? Buying the Garmin City Navigator NTU 2024 Maps of Europe microSD/SD card from ourselves will NOT provide you with topographic maps of UK and Europe. As we understand it those maps are only available preloaded to the sat nav?
