I live in Germany and i was wondering if theres a DVD or a Website that i can go to so i can use the GPS here in Europe.

As far as I know, the Pioneer units sold here and in Europe do not use the same GPS system. GPS and communications satellites are stationary (as seen from Earth), which is why your satellite TV dish doesn't have to move. You can't see US satellites from Germany because of 'line-of-sight'(see the movie Independence Day), so just a software change probably wouldn't make a US nav unit work over there.

So what would you do in my case? Since im here for 2 maybe 3 years.

See if there is a unit that will work over there available to you.

The satellites belong to the US Military and also cover Europe . The Tomtom 910 PND comes with maps for North America and Europe installed.I would call Pioneer to see if they have maps for your unit first then maybe take a look at the 910 . I have a Tomtom and they have great nav graphics. It also has blue tooth and stores MP3s and when you come back you can use it here. Oh, I'm pretty sure Pioneer sells nav units in Europe just don't know if if the maps are interchangeable.

I beleive garmin has an equivalent to the tomtom 910. The nuvi 660 if I remember correctly has all the same options, and a slightly larger screen. don't quote me on that though, the portable gps systems I'm not all that up on.

Those are both very nice PORTABLE GPS's. Does anyone know of a in dash GPS that has both Europe and US? The reason why i dont want a portable one that sits on your dashboard is so people wont be tempted to just break window to snatch it and run. VS an in dash unit w/ a detachable face plate and 5% tint so it makes it some what harder to steal and see.

Did Google search for [europe pioneer nav] and found Europe Pioneer site with demo in english of AVIC-HD 1BT which looks like the Z1 and covers all of Europe.
