Anybody have a GPS with Israel maps that I could 'rent' for Sukkos?   I live in NJ but even if you live somewhere else we could possibly find someone who could bring it here.  I have a Garmin 1390 T but I only have US maps on it.

Why not just buy the Garmin maps for $99 if you have a 1390t?

  Because it costs $99!!     Thats almost the cost of a new GPS. besides, I don't go to Israel often so it's not worth it to pay so much for the few days on my trip that I will need one.

But then you'll be able to rent it out instead of being the renter...

Thanks David, I cant decide if I should buy the Mio or get a Garmin.

Anyways, I'm going a little off topic here, ;)

anyone knows if any of the local carriers internet cards would work in Israel ie. Sprint, Verizon.

I'm not a Mio fan.  Used them three times in Israel and have never liked them.

Can anyone confirm if buying the Israel Garmin Maps gives you hebrew input mode, or do you need to buy an Israeli version of the hardware for that?
