I just bought a 520 and downloaded the regional maps. Then I tried to find out how to purchase maps for the rest of Europe. May be I am dim, but the various websites from Nokia, "Here" and MS just seem to link to each other without much sense. Even the "Shop" as far as I can tell has no links to a map product!
Somebody tell me I am stupid and I missed something please!

I've been using Nokia maps for the last few years, I don't know how they operate now with Windows, but for my phone I just connect to my laptop and Nokia suite and I can download everything I want. On a trip to the US few weeks ago downloaded the state of Florida and after coming back just deleted it from my phone. Simple. One thing I like about Nokia maps is that they are very accurate and up to day plus free of charge.

On my 520 (regional navigation) you can download any global map through the Here Maps app.
If you want to get turn by turn navigation away from region you're locked to in the Here Drive app, it prompts you to upgrade.
If you don't need turn by turn you can still use any map.
