Are you saying you have 4 seperate country maps on your device instead of one of the Europe maps?

You don't need to do anyhting with the Europe map, it is all one map.

If you have 4 individual maps, one for each country then AFAIK you will have to manually switch maps. The TT may warn you that your position is not on the current map and offer to switch for you though, sure I have seen this if you manually select the USA map on a 920 and then it switches to the Europe map.

The DVD should contain the countries and the full Western Europe map, just install the Western Europe map to the device and use that for true seamless navigation throughout Europe.
The x20/ x30 devices can detect when you have other maps installed when off map, you get offered an option to switch to the more suitable map, but this is far from ideal as you cannot plan a true door to door trip - Mike
