Driving Overseas + GPS?
in Travel
I'll be renting a car in Turkey. I don't want to pay $$$ to rent a GPS unit from the rental company. Is there an iPhone app for international roads? Sorry if I sound like a blockhead 
Re: Driving Overseas + GPS?
sorry-we used our own garmin. not sure if you have one or not
but yes there are many apps for that. search in app store. igo primo turkey nav is only $35.
You can just use the built-in Maps app.
While you have a WiFi connection, if you view the area in Maps, it will cache them. You can use the iPhone's location service with Cellular Data turned off, so as long as you still have enough cell coverage to triangulate the position, your position will be noted on the map. If you zoom into a level that you don't have cached, it will show all gray, because it won't download new maps while Cellular Data is turned off.
We've done this a lot when we travel, including driving around Scotland. The only problem is that if there isn't good enough cell coverage, you won't get a location on your iPhone at all (even if you had a dedicated route app). But you can still use the cached maps.

not always. in sicily they wanted more than $400 for the GPS for 2 weeks.
Wow, that's ridiculous. I just looked at our rental voucher from NZ and it was only $5/day extra for GPS.
