At the suggestion of forum users I wanted to start a thread about using GPS abroad.

US and British maps are probably the easiest to come by; i'm guessing; but what about other countries such as Japan, China, Russia, etc?

Have any of you guys used your n810; or other GPS units; with any successes to get around a country in which you don't speak the native language?

I'm sure there are many great resources to get maps, POIs, etc. for these areas so please post any information below.

I myself am taking a trip to Japan and am interested in anything you guys have on this.

Also please see this http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=16111
thread to see how I got here.
