Hello Ron, I was in Florida last November and we did what Geoff mentioned. We bought a satnav at bestbuy (tomtom XL for $60) and used it during that trip. Afterwards I sold it at Ebay for 75€. So it was not so expensive ;-) You can order things at bestbuy from Europe by phone. They store these things for you at least 8 days plus additional 8 days if necessary. I think other shops like walmart, target and Wolf’s camera have a similar service. To buy a navi in the US and sell it afterwards is always cheaper than hiring it. Our company would have charged $10 per day “but not more than $120”. For $120 it would had been able to buy a luxury navi.
Bad guys use maps which they source in the internet. That is cheap but not legal. Keep mogging, Christian Von: Geoff Roberts [mailto:[email protected]] Gesendet: Dienstag, 15.

It is cheaper to buy one and take it with you than hire one from the car hire thieves companies. Super in finding your way to pre-booked hotels and useful in that it had a 'which is the nearest hotel/motel' and 'nearest filling station' guide. I had no trouble with a Tom Tom Go 930 but I have had a Garmin and they are good, too.

Any views on whether a satnav is worth getting versus local maps; and if so whats the current fave? i imagine that finding our way across great stretches of desert isnt too taxing with a map, but I can foresee that LA might be!
