Take Your GPS Unit on Vacation

If you are renting a car while on vacation, you will almost always be asked by the rental agency if you wish to rent a navigation unit, or a GPS. While it is tempting to take that offer, especially if you are visiting an unfamiliar place, that will often cost about 5 or 6 dollars a day, which is pricey. Instead, take your own unit from home if you have one.

It's small and easily packed, plus there is no learning curve trying to figure out a new gadget. Additionally, you will be able to program it ahead of time with all of the pertinent addresses for your trip, such as the hotel, places to visit, the airport address, even the local discount stores for those forgotten items.
