Its America, all the roads are straight lines
Really? Just taking at random a couple I've driven, do a search for "Deal's Gap" & "Coronado Trail" then come back & tell me all the roads in the USA are straight lines.Even some Interstates, e.g. I-90 through northern Idaho, are pretty twisty!
Doing Highway 1 from LA to SF took me 12 hours of driving, not including any stops, I usually recommend using 3 or 4 days and taking your time for stops... Taking the I-5 back to LA took 6.5 hours... and 45 mins of that I was stuck on a bridge due to an overturned lorry.

I've never really had a problem. We tend to rent places out on highway 27, and from there it's either 192 or 4 into the park areas. We do try to avoid peak season thoughIts also been 3 years since I was there. Back out there this year, probably west coast rather than Orlando.
I went last year and just used Waze. Being on the Three network it didn't cost a penny. Traffic updates were great.
Saying that, out of the 3 times I've been, twice I've been lucky and been supplied a rental with working sat nav without having to pay for it. With some companies it does seem to be the luck of the draw.

A disadvantage with relying on sat nav is you don't get an overview of the area.

Do you know that part of the world well?
Not as well as I'd like to.Last year we did Seattle to Vancouver, eastwards in Canada as far as Kamloops, down to Whitefish & across the US back to Seattle through the northern parts of Montana, Idaho & Washington state - first time in British Columbia, Montana & Idaho for us.
