Question about GPS units with lifetime map updates

Here's the scenario:

Father-in-law is flying in from Sweden for the holidays. He wants to buy a new GPS unit to use back in Europe (he drives a lot). When GPS units advertise free lifetime map updates, can he apply said-lifetime updates towards European maps instead of the pre-loaded North American maps?

Garmin also sells a NA/EU lifetime map code for $120, which might be worth it.

Thanks in advance.
