    Im going on a road trip in the US and Canada for 3 weeks. I want to purchase a Sat Nav for the journey. The Navman S30 is supposed to be excellent value. Obviously this will come with Europe maps but how do i get US and Canada maps onto it temporarily for my trip. il obviously want to revert back to my Europe map when i get home.
    Anyone any experience with this?

    I can't comment on the Navman but I have a Tom Tom GO910 which I have used in the US and it was fantastic.

    Well worth bringing your own with you.

    If I car remember correctly the Go910 was about €400 ish.

    What I will say about it though is that it is fantastic in the US & UK (I travel to both quite a lot) but rubbish for Ireland.

    Whenever I use it in Dublin it always tries to send me the wrong way up one way streets :mad: so I have to rely on my trusty map for the big smoke.
