Makpetrol Info Point: You have no navigation - use your old smartphone

You are traveling and you have no navigation in the vehicle. An old smartphone, car holder and car charger can be a great replacement for that.

The old Android smartphone with little preparation can make navigation for your car. Download a map app while at home or update while having free Wi-Fi at a gas station, get a cell phone holder in your car and, of course, don't forget a charger that can work on a cigarette lighter for longer trips.

The most popular navigation we all use, of course, is Google Maps - and it is great for an urban environment, where it shows the intensity and congestion of the streets. However, for all this to work, you need internet or roaming, which if you travel abroad can cost you a lot.

There are several free applications with maps and navigation that work without internet. The most famous is HERE WeGo - it works without internet and only with GPS signal. While you are connected to a Wi-Fi network you need to download all the maps you will need for the trip and then you can use them whenever you want and wherever you want at no cost - with internet turned off and without SIM card and mobile network, only with GPS signal.
