SOURCE: jus downloaded new maps but

You can find details of how to unlock your maps at http://www.fixya.com/support/r6197735-no_detailed_maps_found_support_routing. There's more information there than you need so you can skip to paragraph 2.

After you've unlocked your maps you might also want to back up your satnav favourites folder. You can get information on how to do so at http://www.fixya.com/support/r8422587-backup_restore_favourites_garmin_nuvi

Can we download European maps onto our Garmin 200W for travelling with motorhome

If you bought the satnav in the USA it won't work in Europe. If you bought it in Europe you can download the maps but the full map of Europe won't fit on it. You can fit Western Europe or add and remove countries as you need them. It's probably not a satisfactory solution when traveling with a motor home. You can put the map on an SD card but the nuvi 200W has problems reading maps from SD cards of 2 Gb or more. The map of Europe would take a 4 Gb card to hold it all.

You would probably be better to buy a cheap satnav of Europe. You can get them from http://www.pixmania.ie/ie/uk/xx/617/xx/1914/23/criteresn.html?sSortInfo=Prix-ASC
if you want to buy on line or Halfords shops if you prefer to deal with someone face to face. Some of them cost less than €100 and would be near the same price as buying the map of Europe.

Or if you want a satnav that covers both the USA and Europe and will work in both the Garmin nuvi 1370 or the 2370 would do the job but costs a bit more.

I hope this answers your question.
