School me on cheap portable nav for Europe

Correct Google maps has an offline mode that allows you to download the map ahead of time, takes up alot of space though. Use the wife's phone offline with a sim card or a mobile hotspot. Makes navigating, finding places to eat really easy, not to mention calling users. When we travel we love to wander so it's nice to know that o mayer where we are I just need to hit a button and have directions ready to get back or call an uber. Additionally, European cities have awesome rail systems and Google maps give you directions for that too.

Going anywhere cool while you're there?
Staying in a castle? Visiting a racetrack? A car museum? Driving an Alpine pass?

Mostly scenery with plenty of mountains. Got a Fiat 500 for $10 a day. Yehaww! No staying in a castle, no racetrack or car museum. Might go back in a few years and hit Nurburgring but not this time. But man I love Switzerland. Driving through and visiting Interlaken area is just more amazing than I thought it could be. I have to switch my rental car reservation though and if I see a German sports car upgrade option, that sounds tempting.

Seriously though, have you tried Google maps offline? It won't give you traffic, but you can download onto a mobile device specific regions and then just use it offline. You can load different offline maps for different areas, and one area is pretty big, you just need the storage space.

Just today the wife was talking about going back to Italy. Like a whole different world over there.
Have fun.
