CruiserBruce Posted August 14, 2018 #2 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I would say, no, most rental cars in the US don't have GPS. What we typically do is get a car slightly more deluxe than absolutely needed. Increases the chances of it coming with GPS. I have to say we have very pleasantly surprised with the number of times GPS has been present in cars we have rented in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin Broad Posted August 14, 2018 #3 Share Posted August 14, 2018 IF the rental car doesn't come with navigation, you can usually rent a GPS from the rental car company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt_BJ Posted August 15, 2018 #6 Share Posted August 15, 2018 funny story recently visited Tromso Norway which has a very extensive network of road tunnels ... so extensive that there are roundabouts IN the tunnels. Our colorful tour guide mentioned that most visitors used GPS to navigate the roads ..... and GPS does not work in tunnels So once a day the police go to the tunnel roundabouts to find the lost folks who just keep going around and around ..... cuz their GPS never tells them to turn!!!!!

Omega1 Posted August 16, 2018 #8 Share Posted August 16, 2018 We use the Here We Go app. You can download the maps you need before leaving home and use your phone as GPS - no data necessary. Works really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare VMax1700 Posted August 16, 2018 #9 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I have a cellphone but no provider in de USA ! option 1. Find out price from your provider for Roaming in USA (probably very expensive). option 2. Buy a USA sim card with data, for your phone when you arrive (Walmart or Publix). option 3. Try an app like Maps dot me (maps.me). You can download necessary maps before you leave home and use them offline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
