We are planning to drive from munich to budapest next month. Our iPhones are on the indian carriers Airtel and vodaphone. I'd like to use the navigation and built in maps. What to do to avoid exorbitant roaming charges?

Are the phones locked to Airtel and Vodafone? If not, get a local SIM (German and Hungarian, sounds like sausages LOL).
If not, purchase any navigation app that works offline (has preloaded maps).

If you are using a navigation app that downloads the maps over cellular data, your data usage will be horrendous, no matter what. And you may find times where you will have the location indicator with no map behind it.
My suggestion for long distance navigation is to get a stand-alone GPS device.
For the rest of the question, if the iPhones are unlocked, buy local SIM cards in each country. Isn't that a European requirement that cell phones be unlocked?

Switch off your cellular data.
Map and GPS will still work.
Voice calls will still be available but use it cautiously.

Vishal,
Thank you for the recommendation.
Their site says, "Sygic is a voice guided GPS navigation app. It's packed with latest maps and a robust set of navigation features. Both app and maps are updated for free. Maps are stored on the phone for offline use."
The price is comparable with maps for a Garmin stand-alone device. Only Garmin want you re re-buy the maps every year and they are wrong and at least 2 years behind.
How are they on updating their maps and how is the accuracy? Free updates, wow, even if the are only as accurate as Garmin, that puts them ahead. And just for comparison, which regional maps have you used from Sygic?

Hi,
All of my books and PDFs have disappeared from my iPad (3). I thought they were being backed up by the iCloud. I don't think I changed anything recently.
Suggestions would be appreciated.
