    As title reads, what is the best Garmin out at the moment - 865T? What's the difference between that and the 860T? Also, is that special offer of free map upgrades for life finished or still available?

    Garmin make GPS for various uses, you'll need to be more specific although I'm guessing you mean for in car use.

    https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?cID=134 allows you to compare models to see the differences.
    Yep, in-car. So, what model is currently the bees knees? I'll probably get the Garmin Updates for life as linked to by eirman above.

    The new 800 series look good but their expensive...I would imagine their the best specced Garmin at the minute... You could get a Nuvi 255 which has all the european maps on it and be very happy with it...It's under E200 and very reliable, make sure you have european maps on whichever model you should get....;)

    They're not free map updates for life. There's a once-off payment for the nuMaps Lifetime which varies depending on the regions covered. Also be aware that it's not transferable to a different unit ...not exactly an incentive for Garmin users to upgrade!

    Yes you can, but you will have to buy an SD card to put them on.

    A couple of years ago I bought a Garmin 310 which just had the UK & Irl maps on it, they were out of date, so I was entitled to a free map upgrade and as part of that upgrade I was offered the full European maps free of charge. I'm not sure if that is still the situation but you could try ringing Garmin customer care to find out.
