Have a look on Yank sites and see if they do SIM only deals?

Do you have a TomTom? Costs under £30 at the mo to buy the US maps and load them on - costs way more to hire a satnav or roaming. I have just done this for my US trip in Sept, £34 to get US, Canada and Mexico (and I'll get a couple of quid back through quidco). I assume you have POIs on overseas mapping
Mobile costs are much higher in the US
If you have a firm route planned, I would strongly advise booking hotels before you go, just turning up on spec can be very expensive.
Quidco often have 12% cashback on hotels for Expedia

I'd get all the routes from Mapquest in advance, turn by turn instructions. US freeway junctions can be confusing, especially those crazy left side exits!
You'll need to register the TomTom on their site, think you need the serial number
