download it off the internets and put it on to an SD card, check the satnav, there should be a slot for it?

Not all satnavs use an SD card. Newer TomToms don't.

Can you hire a satnav with the car?

Ok np. I'm guessing it's an older model.

We hired one with the car for 10 days for something like £20.

I think you should be able to by a map for it .. plug your satnav into the computer and it gives you some options on what to buy and a update if it needs it
