We are off to the US on holiday - does anyone know if you can get a sat nav with US maps loaded ? I suppose I could buy one out there ,but we pick the car up straight away and fairly late ! Any other ideas - to rent one with the car is also an option but is expensive.
Thanks.
I use copilot live on my iPhone - it's great.
Otherwise, I'm sure you can download the maps over here if you've got a sat nav already?
I downloaded the maps for my tomtom. Took hours, but has worked well. They are silly money to rent with a car.
If you're driving in a big city, lane guidance is handy - some highways have 8+ lanes each way and knowing where to be saved my ass a few times in NYC rush hour
As above put a USA map on our TomTom worked perfectly.
We looked into renting one for a few weeks in the states, but it worked out cheaper to buy one in the UK and get the USA maps (about £30). Had to put an extra SD card card in the TomTom too, but it worked great.
If you've got a smartphone it's easiest to buy a Satnav app for it. I bought a TomTom one or similar for £20-£30 and it was perfect. Best thing is that I've got that app forever now, it'll keep being updated and all I have to do is reload it onto my phone before we go again. Plus I find the GPS on my phone is far superior to my satnav and it reroutes virtually instantly as a result.
Navman .. Download usa map.. Free android and poss iPhone. Uses gps only and not data like some others.
Or $50 at Walmart.. You can pre order a refurb tomtom and collect in store .
Many thanks for all the help.
