GPS Watch from the States

Hi all, I bought a garmin 220 GPS running watch for my wife through the American Amazon website. My question is, will my buying it through an American site affect it being able to download the latest maps in Ireland or it being used in the normal way? Or does it matter at all?

Thinking of buying one from the states too - did you have any issues?

Customs vat/duty might be an issue, along with a steep courier charge when Vat/duty is applied.
