Get a Tom Tom or such like and download what you need..very simple and I can 
assure you after many road trips in the States it is a big help especially in 
cities.
They also save relationships!!!!!

  Ron,
  Buying a GPS here in the US is a good idea.  There are other brands here but 
you probably would want to stick with a Garmin or Tom Tom.  If you are familiar 
with one or the other I would stick with that brand. The learning curve on 
operating it would not be nearly as steep then.  Another consideration is that 
there is no VAT here.  Most states have a sales tax which varies but nowhere 
near as much as your VAT.  One thing to look at is the charger.  Most of the 
new models run on vehicle power or USB but some of the older models have a 
charger that plugs in to house current (110V/60HZ here).  Not much use when you 
get back home.

  Have a safe trip,
  Charles Hill

    Look's like the answer is to buy over there.
