I bought the Garmin as well prior to our trip last Sept and it was great. Any of the newer models are good. I 'obtained' the USA maps online and it is pretty much a drag and drop into the unit via the PC. Really easy to do and works a dream. The only issue we had was the Garmin telling us "You have arrived at Howard Johnsons Anaheim" but we were still on the highway!!
But well worth it. We paid $300 for it. and if you buy it 30 days prior to trip you can claim back the GST on departure. Makes it worthwhile to buy one, as renting one was going to be over $100 anyhow.
on a completely different topic, anyone stay in Vegas lately with a family and have any hotel advice? Unfortunetly not for me! But I am helping another family with their first trip to the USA.
To everyone leaving soon, have a great trip, I am soooo jealous !!
