Sat Navs for the USA

Any ideas whats best buying, renting. Or renting when out there ? Thanks if any has some advice

to rent sat navs across the pond, most car hire companies charge around $15-$20 per day.. Where in the USA are you travelling too nukes?

Can't you just download the maps to your own unit and take it out there?

You don't need sat nav out there, they don't go fast enough so you should see all the sign posts

Use a map hill billy Steve. Just you and the open road and the hooker you picked up on Route 104.

If you've got an iPhone you can use that

An have the biggest phone bill the world has ever seen when you get home

I went to Sears and bought one for $100 and used it for the next five holidays.

The rental companies want at least $200 for 2 weeks.

Take your own. I use a Garmin Nuvi and just order the latest North America maps SIM. I then sell the SIM on eBay when I get back and buy new again the following year.

use a map like the good old days

The west coast of Amrrica mate. Karl i have looked at downloading it on to mine but can only find Europe. Just looked on Amazon and for £30 including postal i can hire one off them. Thats one option.
. Use a map they said at the travel agent !! Use a fooking map i aint looked at one of them in 10 years. Its like advising someone to use a phonebox

whats a phonebox??? is it what your i phone gets delivered in

Did you know that if you type "tw*t" into your satnav, it will lead you directly to Paxman/Roath Tragic's house.

It's done on the GPS on the iPhone, doesn't use data.
You can buy tomtom/ garmin with USA maps but thy are quite expensive. Or just buy a cheapo 1 while your out there. Rental companies do charge a lot for hire as others have said

That's why I suggested it as I've done Route 66 using the iPhone as a satnav

The sat navs that you can get with the rental cars are good . Used Alamo twice and on both occasions found very good

Agree , with exception of inner city LA or San Fran could have probably made do without sat nav . Route / Death Valley area pretty much fool proof

I bought one over in Canada few years back as was struggling in city centres etc. paid equivalent of £90 British for it and used it for 3 weeks. Came home, put it on ebay and sold it for £94!! Hire car companies rip you off out there.

Me and my Boy have got a big RV and am starting off at Los Angeles then on to the Grand Canyon, Then Las Vegas, Death Valley, Yosemite (How do you spell it ) Then San Fransisco. And then following the coastal rd back to Los Angeles.

Nucks I thought you would be going to see The Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia

Download co pilot USA onto your phone before you go , it uses GPS
On your phone so it does not cost anything , I use it when I go to Florida
It is as good as my Tom Tom I use back home

Take your own. I use a Garmin Nuvi and just order the latest North America maps SIM. I then sell the SIM on eBay when I get back and buy new again the following year.

I got back from the states last week and did the same except I downloaded the Garmin Maps from a torrent site, cost me three quid for a micro SD card and served me well.
