    The sim is dead easy. Call into AT&T and get a pay and go sim. $60 2Gb data that lasts 30 days (there are cheaper options too).

    Alternatively call into t mobile and get a wifi hotspot. They sometimes have refurbished ones for cheaper, no phone unlocking required.

    Or if you're with emobile or meteor you can get a 200meg US data roaming plan for 20 quid. Turn on data roaming, get directions and then turn off data. You won't get live traffic etc but it's doable.

    you can get usa maps for satnav if you go down the not so legal route of downloading torrents etc. YMMV
