Yea, I don't plan on using the Kindle for GPS directions but simply as a guide in a general area. Like I said, I will have my phone and prepaid sim card for more precise directions. It's just nice to have the Kindle for general information.

Although you were joking, I am actually doing a 10 day trip in which I'm spending 3 days in each city . (Paris, which I am very familiar with, Venice, and Rome).
