Help for a Canadian needing a temporary cell phone in NY?

Traveling from Ontario to NY for about 6 days

The cell phone plan we currently have will charge us an arm and a leg for data usage in the USA.

We need data to access GPS etc as it will be our first time there and we will need help

I hear about dispoable phones in the USA

How does that work?

Is it worth it?

Any other ideas?

Thanks

    I don't think you get gps with a cheap phone. How about wifi? Smart phones use wifi when it is available. Bring a tablet or laptop. Most restaurants now have wifi as well as hotels, motels. You probably have good wifi coverage in Ontario, too.

    I have a Magellan gps in my car I bought for $50. Doesn't need any data plan. It has US and Canada on it and a 4" screen. Better than a phone.
