Ok, so i bought a Mio M400 on ebay for $100 that has maps for US, Canada, Israel, UK, and Australia.

He gave me options of which countries to put on...

I looked in all the settings and didnt see anything about avoiding PA areas. Would that be a setting that would pop up when i get to Israel?

Does anyone know how i can get that setting added? Perhaps download new maps?

I just rented the Garmin Nuvi 1310 and it was the best Israel GPS I've ever used. The street names don't have to be entered exactly, but at least a few letters need to be right. I didn't see if you could enter them in Hebrew which seems like a huge plus.
It spoke out the street names and has the easy to use Nuvi features!

Does anyone know if I buy it here, if  I can load North American maps on it when I go to the US?

Back to kvish 6, it can save you hours if you need those areas, remember that driving the israeli way, with an automatic, on israeli roads can cost you a lot of money too, so shorter might be a good idea.

Where did you rent from?

Avis didn't have any and RentCenter by the King David which is the cheapest was also out, so I was forced to rent from GPS Express in the El Dan rent a car location (they have a stand there). Big rip-off (around 60 NIS) but I needed it last minute and didn't have a choice. However, for the Nuvi it might have been worth it anyways.

by downloading them, usually there is a text file (often .ini) that you still need to edit, its selfexplanatory.

Super, can you expand a bit on this? What nuvi models do the Israel maps work with? I've only seen them on the 1310? Do you get them from torrents? Where can we get the "selfexplanatory" install info?

IGO is a gps software, such as destinator, tomtom, garmin, etc. here the link to their site http://www.igomyway.com/en/

The official deal is to download it illegally, and crack for unlimited updates.

I once met an old man, who said his great grand father once met a peasant who said to have know someone who actually paid for this software.

Not sure I can believe it though... 

Super, seems like they only have it for iPhone for Israel, is that correct? I thought it was hard to crack iPhone software and can only be purchased from the iTunes store, but I'm not holding so much in Apple.

Dudes, I see that I'm dealing here with tough cases. Its the first time in years, I heard about purchasing software. I know you didn't mean to buy it, but come on, just the thought of it!? You could have minors on the forum...
Lemme see what can be done.

How is the POI search? Do you need to enter in a city for it to work?
And how is the English input on it?

english input is difficult at times, but it will find it if i put in the second word of the street or something like that.

Poi search is great. it has kosher and glatt kosher restaurants (its missing many of them). But the regualr POI search works pretty well. I put in heimish and heimishe essen in rechavia popped up. I put in gaucho and it found el gauchos in ramat gan (which was closed for yom hashoa :( )

Check this out:

Now how do we get that map for our Nuvis?

Dan, this is the 1310 I rented and told you about. I have a feeling its not compatible with all nuvis...I wish someone knew which ones it would work with before I buy my new gps
