 HI Maria;-)) Is this like what we call a GPS? If so I thought that might be a good idea so while I was looking at car rental places I noticed they rent them with the car, I have one but I would have to download the map for england which i think is around 140.00 I guess i need o see which would be the cheapest to do,,,thanks!;-)

A good Ordinance Survey map is just as good (Sometimes better!) Debbie. you can buy them at any book store, newsagent or filling station for less than a 'fiver' (£5.oo)

GPS (Global Positioning Systems) or Satnav's (Satelight Navigation Systems) are ok but can send you up 'blind' alley's. Save your money and get a map, you can always take it hoe as a souviner, lol
