I'm after recommendations for a sat nav which will run on an iphone4 without the data connected, for Florida.
I'm not expecting it to be free, but I'd like it to be good!
Thanks.

Sorry, bit late.....having had the same issue and had problems with rentacars out there I'm taking my UK TomTom with a US/Canada map instead. The other option I thought about was using a PAYG simcard from the airport in my iPhone and loading up Waze

Don't know if any use but we hired a tom tom from a guy on ebay last time we went to florida. Was very good, bang up to date with all local & common attractions already on it. I thought it was well worth it.

Also check about using your phone for nav over there, roaming charges are huge and it could cost you hundreds.

I use the Android version of CoPilot USA in California - very pleased with it.

There is an iOS version

ETA - no data connection required once installed.

I used skobbler (aka satnav2) over in Florida on April. My only issue that was when you specifically turn off data use for this app it also disables ZIP code searching and the address search was next to useless. I had to rely on selecting my destination from the map. The way around it is to just disable data roaming globally for the phone, that way you keep the zip code search, should work fine then as long as you have downloaded the Florida maps before you go.

Thanks everyone.
I used Navigon in the end. Worked very well indeed with some useful add-ons like speed limit warnings and so on.
