Data roaming charges are outrageous... Everywhere! Even among providers who have so-called "agreements".
And online maps are data hungry.
So yeah, offline navigation maps (sygic, etc) are the way to go, if you can't / don't want to use local SIM. A bit pricy but nothing compared to roaming charges.

Thank you Archie. That seems to be the best option as one really doesn't know what the roaming charges for navigation may be and I don't want to pay an arm and a leg. However for a prepaid sim just how much data roaming and navigation will they allow. I suppose I shall only know know I get there.
