It's taken me all round France, Netherlands (including the back alleys of Amsterdam :) ) and Italy. Never been to the states so can't really recommend it for their, but if you're planning on coming over, the TomTom maps are great and very accurate, down to one way streets in little villages as well as big cities.
Oh, did I mention it does my own country and London in particular quite well, including congestion charge zone warnings.

What brand is your GPS unit tho? That's what I'm looking out to find.. which brand I should go for.

Over here most GPS systems come with bundled software, although you can buy them separately. I don't know the make/model of the hardware as I chose for compatiblility and the easy of use of the software - it was an impulse buy! I don't know that the brand will make much difference, or I've just been lucky and not found any blank spots in Europe (except near military airfields which is understandable as this was during the Gulf War II).
