All our maps are in the local language of the country and displayed as such on the maps. However, this is only the case where the local language is latin-based (uses a latin-based alphabet).
So, for example maps for Italy will be in Italian, for Spain in Spanish, for Germany in German, for the Netherlands in Dutch, for Mexico in Spanish, and so on.
Where this is not the case, such as with Cyrillic, Hindi, Greek, Japanese, Chinese, etc. the text on the maps will be shown Anglicised (in English, where that exists in the map data) or in a latin-based equivalent of the local language.
We are now offering native local language (non-unicode) versions of the maps that use Arabic, Japanese, Chinese, Thai, Greek, Hebrew and Cyrillic (for the relevant countries/regions/federal districts). These will only work (display the language correctly) where the Garmin device has the correct firmware installed to support the native non-latin language text/characters; e.g Asia versions of Garmin devices should natively support Chinese, Japanese, Hebrew and Thai. European versions of Garmin devices may support Arabic, Greek and Cyrillic (depending on model and region firmware installed). Obviously these versions are designed for those that speak/write the non-latin text/characters used by that language.
Please check the languages supported by your device, as they may be different than expected; we take no responsibility if you order a map that will not display correctly on a device that doesn't have the correct language support or firmware required to support native non-latin text/characters.
This is a limitation of many Garmin models and controls that Garmin have introduced themselves.
