God I'm thick - someone point me in the right direction.

Off to Greece on Friday.
Want to use one of these new fangled smart phone thingies as a Sat nav. Bought the phone, bought a SIM, have some data. All good.

So can I use the data allowance in Greece (EE) and does my 8gb in Greece = 8gb in the UK.

EE should be called Bloody useless, or maybe I should be called thick as a plank. Not sure.

Anyone have any experience / comment knowledge, or just join in for a general piss take if you so desire

Ah, great idea. I've found a downloadable map, but how do I get my position on there?

Thanks for the help - I'd have never have thought of that.

Thanks everyone.

I already have google maps, and will download the cretemap into it.
Downloading Waze as we speak.

Thanks for the background on roaming and charges.

PH is great (most of the time)

Crete is a beautiful place to visit and can be fun without a map
Where abouts in Crete?

Staying in old Hersonnisos. Feel free to fire over a few recommendations for places to visit. I've been before when I was 25, young and fit, and did a fair bit of walking in the hills, plus Knossos. But I'm going with the family this time, so beaches, gorges, waterparks and the like are all fair game.
Not really keen on overcrowded commercial beeches, and would prefer a walk (up to an 90 minutes) and a quieter beach.
