    If you have Google Navigation on your phone, could you pick up a sim in Germany? Might be one compatible with yout network, or unlock phone before you go.

    Get an Android phone and install a GPS app.
  • When we went to Florida we rented one from easy2rent they sent it next day delivery and were very helpful we hired one for our 14 day holiday and it cost about £30 just looked for 3 days it says it is £9.95 (plus about £7.50 p&p)- may be worth looking at, we would definately use them again

    So I went ahead and did this

    Just a question, this whole £100 'security deposit' malarchy all turned out ok, I trust?
  • I have a Garmin satnav which has European maps so if you want to borrow, contact me.

    Forgot to say there will be a charge of £100 /day , OK.

    Sorry I posted in a hurry and forgot about the £100 deposit There was absolutely no problem - on our return from holiday I sent it back special delivery and the deposit was refunded within 2 days might even have been same day they received it back, I had a problem with the first sat nav they sent me when I tried it out round town it wouldn't load maps and they were great technical tried to help me over the phone and when it was obvious it wasn't going to play ball they immediately sent another by special delivery free of charge told me to keep the other until I returned and return both at the same time no 2nd deposit and great customer service throughout.
    Thanks to MSE savings we got to go to Disneyworld Florida.

  • what a superb service

    received the sat nav the next day, without it I would have been royally screwed.

    highly recommended
