buy a euro maps GPS. The garmin 270 is only 145 on amazon. Seems easy enough to me and maybe I can recoup a lot by ebaying it when I get home.

Pay for maps on the tomtom or omnitech. Seems like this cost 100-150. I guess this seems silly to me.

get one from hertz at a cost of $300 for the rental. The silliest idea of all.

So should I just buy the garmin 270. Any other ideas.

Buy the Tomtom maps. I bought the AU version and maps for USA and Western Europe when they were on special.
