in Overseas holidays & travel planning
Any ideas of the best place to get Navman (for the F20 on an SD Card) maps for the US. The RRP is £99, the company's own web site has an offer for £59, but are out of stock, no seller on ebay have the US card and the SD cards sold by US sellers clearly state that they can only be used in systems ourcased in the US.

I really do not want to spend £99 on maps, even £59 will hurt!

    If you're hiring a car why not just hire a sat nav while you're there?
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die

    it seems daft to hire one as the cost, as for the time were are there it would cost more than the cost of buying the maps.

    We bought a 910 for the same reason as we always get lost at some point on our holidays in the US :o :rolleyes: :D

    Would THIS be of any use to you? :undecided
    Same old same old since 2008

    You're wasting your time.
    There's only a few roads that only go anywhere you want to go -I mean how hard is it to find Orlando,Miami,Ft Lauderdale,Key West.
    Spend five bucks and buy a map
    SatNav is for Mondeo-driving reps who are too stupid to find their way from Travelodge to a Harvester..

    i'll just go on my own experiences that the sat nav cuts a huge amount of stress out of driving on a trip to the US and Canada.....
    have you ever used one in the States ? (or even here?)
