I need to figure out how to get European maps on the 8000NEX. I successfully installed the unit thinking it would be a matter of just paying for/downloading the maps and loading them. Boy was I surprised to find out that you can't just do that. I live in Europe for the time being and would hate to have wasted all the money on this unit if I can't use the nav.. Please help!!!!

Unless I'm very much mistaken you won't ever be able to load Euro maps onto a US device. The page of the equivalent Pioneer Euro devices that are comparable to our NEX 5001/6001/7001/8001 can be found here: http://www.pioneer.eu/eur/products/25/111/241/overview.html

 

I've never heard of being able to load US maps onto a Euro device or vice versa...someone correct me if I'm wrong please.

Hi there,

 

Anybody managed to get European maps on US AVIC device.

I have the same problem.

I have a AVIC 8100 NEX bought in US that I use in Europe and the map won't let me buy the Europe maps for it.

Looking forward for your advice.

 

Many thanks!
