So i read in a post someone(i cant remmber who) had a tomtom while in Amsterdam. I thik this is an awesome idea for a person who doesnt know the city well. Can anyone give me any info....Do you rent or buy? what kind to buy? Can you integrate maps to your PC for the most awesome coffeeshop map ever? Any and help is welcome thanks everyone.
What is this made of?? Babies?!
Hi mate, I recentley wrote in my after trip report that USBONGLORD (who posts on this site) had one while we were there two weeks ago. Hes still there now!! 
He could be the one to ask, but he aint back till 28th!!
It is an awesome bit of kit, i think he said he won his in a prize draw its got all the "world" cities on it. Worth about $700 by all accounts too

i would agree with what everyone said here
get the map from here, but i would also recommend another map that you could prob get at your hotel with street names on it! just to get your bearings a bit better!
but as boner said gettin lost in dam is not such a bad thing! it sometimes leads to finding great places you never would have done!!

if the only place that you are ever going to go is the dam then probalby are ok with a paper map, but if you are an avid travaler then it is much better than maps.
We love ours for our trips but then we do get a little more off of the beaten path than most people.
ours is a Garmin aprox 350 then you can down load the soft ware off of share sites

love 420 gold and anything outdoors!
Well that's not entirely true, well for me and a buddy anyway. First time in Amsterdam we got completely lost and ended on the other side Jordaan. We eventually found our way back to Centrum by following the trams lines.
