Yep. Borrowed the GPS head unit (Garmin, I think) from my cousin with money for a road trip to SF.
I remember that it worked great until we got to the city itself, then the buildings made it hard to get line of site to 3 satellites. So we ended up printing a bunch of maps from our hotel's business center anyway. But it got us there and made it easier to find gas stations along the way.
