In actuality it is probably less dear to buy one once you arrive on the West Coast. Typically the sales in the SF Bay Area will get you a quality level TT or Garmin for USD 110 - 120, very often with lifetime maps and Traffic. We have a Garmin 1490 that I got after my second TT 920 died in the UK Morgan. It has been great, the first time out in 2006 it took us straight to the Hotel Hermitage from Calais without a hitch. I had never been there before in my life!
Ron, if you wind up in the SF area, give us a shout and we can get together.

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!
