Yes it would. Global is worldwide.
The Navigon GPS works internationally, like most other gps systems. They are run through satellites, which would not cease to work overseas in Europe or Asia.
No. :( I Live in Puebla Mexico and have a US Town and Country Touring and was optimistic that it would work here. I went to the local Chrysler dealership and they literally came out to the car to look at the system because they had never seen one. I kept inquiring and they said that technically you could buy a disk for Mexico City, Guadalajara, and Monterey but that they had never seen one. It does not have the Mexican highways on it either. Sam's Club in Mexico sells a Polaroid GPS (Polaroid, don't they make cameras?) that has all of Mexico on it. It runs about $250.
ANSWER: "Preloaded GPS" often refers to the memory of a GPS device (either built in flash memory or a removable memory card) having maps for a given country or region. For example a North American preloaded GPS device likely has maps for Canada, USA and Mexico. It is up to the company creating the GPS device ultimately, and do a bit of research for a GPS device's choice of maps before deciding on a unit. A GPS web forum or the manufacturer's website would be excellent resources to help ensure you get what you are looking for out of your GPS purchase.
No, a GPS or "Global Positioning System" works trough a satellite connection. Your GPS is making a connection with 3 different satellites, these 3 calculate your current position using trigonometry. Your GPS does not need an Internet connection or SIM card in order to work.
Yes, it GPS should be able to work in Barbados. The only places on earth GPS is known to have trouble getting reception are underground, in the middle of downtowns of large cities where large buildings can reflect the signal, and towards the north and south poles. In all cases, the only places GPS does not work is where it does not have line of sight to the sky. If travelling to Barbados, if you are using a GPS on a cell phone, sometimes it will not work as some cell phones find their location off the location of the cell phone tower, and not off the GPS satellites.
From the verizon web site, it shows that they do have data coverage in mexico. However it doesn't say whether or not it has GPS coverage. My recommendation is contact verizon.
You would probably have to get the European package for the American GPS to work in Germany.

No, the Lowrance Iway GPS is for automotive use only. A GPS would not be able to tell you where to go in the water when they are programmed to show the roads.
Yes, as long as it can receive the satellite signal. GPS is worldwide; units are not tied to the country in which they're purchased. As far as coordinates (lat/long/alt) it will work anywhere, however unless the local map database is loaded you will not be able to use it for navigation.

i think because the gps doesnt work well because of the sun
The verizon GPS phones work by getting a GPS signal to pinpoint your location. You can use Maps if you have an iPhone or Android smartphone, which is perfect.
No, GPS doesn't work outside the US.
GPS on phones are very accurate. They work just as good as a regular car GPS because they both work off of a satelite that feeds them information.
A GPS holder is not a necessity. The GPS will work just fine without it. Having a GPS holder will, however help you protect the GPS and prolong its useful life.
