I'm looking at buying one of these in the U.S. (it'll work out almost as cheap as buying an used 540 XXL locally and adding in European maps). The lifetime map update only applies to the N. American maps and not Europe.

The regular 540s only have 2 GB internal memory while the 540TMs have 4 GB. Are the maps that big that it's only either or (or does the device just need enough working space for 2 maps while it updates?)
