Guys,
Not strictly GT related but could use a US perspective on this please.
I come over to the USA a lot on business and vacation and I am sick and tired of paying exhorbitant sums to hire out a Sat-Nav with my hire car. (usually $13.99 a day plus taxes)
I've had a few problems with the Garmin "Where To" that Avis usually give you - (why for instance doesn't it let you enter ZIP codes as the destination?) - and I wanted to try and ensure I get the best possible unit with the most up to date and relaible maps as well as an easy to use user interface.
Here in Europe the market leader is "TomTom" - and they do make a very nice unit that supposedly covers the USA and Canada (as well as Europe) - but I didn't want to get one of those if anyone has had a bad experience with them in the USA. What other systems do members here have experience of that they can recommend??..or ones they advise to avoid?
Thanks guys!
