Have had my LG LN505 sat nav for about 4 years and use it now and again.In August we are driving to France and I wondered if my sat nav includes European maps ?
Had a look online and it mentions that the sat nav comes complete with 3 discs including European maps.Dont really remember having any discs with this.
As it has an SD card slot , is there any way I could download a map of France/Western Europe ?

Thanks for any help

    If you Google 'map updates +LG LN505' then there are lots of people asking the same question-it doesn't appear that updates are available for that device. So I'd look a bit harder for the disks, if you can find them then presumably you can install the Europe map to another SD card-though it will now be quite out of date.
    Or contact LG and ask if they can sell you a copy of the original maps installed? Though I suspect that a new budget satnav would be cheaper.

    Thanks macman.Had a quick look online and read it might have the France map pre-loaded.
    Will have to put our French destination in and press go and see what it calculates.
    Thanks.

    Have gone into settings and found there is a GB and Europe icon so have just changed it to Europe.Typed PARIS into destination and it came up 719km and 9hr 7 mins , so think it is pre-loaded into the sat nav.
    Didnt drive there though to test it properly.

    Thanks for the replies.
