    I have an old garmin gps in my car. Use it all the time combined with a phone. The garmin doesn’t need cell signal so it works everywhere. Funny when going places where the street didn’t exist back then, but it’s kind of cool to see how the city grows. We mainly use it as a backup. It’s also louder than the phone talking and easier to understand.

      You can download maps on your phone, so you can use it in areas without service.

      Used that when I went to the state’s and didn’t pay for roaming/data. Just downloaded Oregon/Washington.
