I can only assume, since my Garmin allows me to preference a female voice 
with a distinct Aussie accent, that she would know how to navigate me around 
Oz, though she occasionally has problems with Spanish street names -- when 
she tries to say Avenida des las pulgas or Camarillo for example.

Seriously, as I understand it, if I'm going to another country, all I need 
to do is connect my Garmin to my laptop with its USB cable, then to the 
Garmin internet site, and after charging me a little money, Garmin will 
download 
all the necessary   info that I need for the country I'm going to.

Best
Gary
