Do any of the brands offer free map updates? TomTom claims they do but I've heard otherwise from TomTom owners.
Most do not. The maps are copyrighted content and the creators of it need paid.
Some might offer subscription to maps.

I have a Garmin iQue 3600 and a Quest that you can load either map set into. You have to buy it wit the US maps, then order the Euro maps from Garmin and load them up as needed.
I believe that you can do the same thing with an of their other models.
The safest place is from the GPS manufacturers website, though I had awesome luck with something I think might have been a little shady.
I was going to France and wanted to bring my own GPS instead of renting one. My manufacturer's US website only had US maps, but their European site listed a Western Europe map for over $100!.
So I took my chances, went on eBay and found someone selling one for $30 (including shipping). I ended up with the original DVD (in my casse, I load maps onto a storage card on the device) and it worked like a charm.

For many companies GPS car tracking is the solution that solves many security problems. In the attempt to limit criminality, the police as well as the government often use GPS car tracking, although, there are also private users, civilians that rely on such technology. Information on the position of an asset is provided by a small unit attached to the vehicle. A GPS car tracking unit regularly sends a signal to a cellular, a central database or a computer. The device requires a satellite, radio or cellular modem incorporated in order to be able to perform the transmission. The data provided by a GPS car tracking system is displayed on a map, either in real time or as a later analysis...
