How do data sims work?

I'm off to the USA for a week and as I'm on Vodafone, who don't do Roaming passes for the US, I've been advised to get a data sim. I don't know anything about them though. It looks like they're available on amazon, but do I just buy one and put it into my phone when I land? Is there anything I need to be checking for? The data would be really handy for Google Maps.

I only have a few days before I leave, please help!

if you have a compatible phone you can use an eSIM. Have a look at Airalo.

My phone isn't on the compatible list, so it looks like that's a no go. Thanks though
