As long as you download the offline map for the area you want to go to, you can navigate using GPS without mobile signal.

It's better to use a car GPS. The Google signal on the phone is weak and often lags behind or doesn't have any signal at all. I was misled many times, and once I almost fell into a ditch.

The toll fee can be paid by downloading a toll app on the mobile phone and then printing a barcode at an airport machine and sticking it on the car, which will be charged at the most favorable rate. You can check which sections are toll roads every day, and when you leave, throw the card into the recycling bin, and the $10 that was deducted when the credit card was bound will be refunded, which is very convenient ?

I strongly recommend students from Salt Lake City to Jackson to bring a GPS in addition to Google Maps on their phones. There is a long stretch without AT&T signal, but using GPS decisively, we arrived in Jackson smoothly. The scenery along the way was absolutely beautiful. Driving in the United States is different from back home. You know, without navigation. Will there be any problems with the GPS on this route ? United States Q&A

The United States is very large, and every time you go somewhere it's different. This summer, I went to Yellowstone and chose an SUV, but I regretted it because the high center of gravity made it tilt heavily on the mountain roads... and all the roads were paved, so if you don't have a need for a lot of luggage, don't choose an SUV. Last year, I rented a BMW 4 Series to drive around the Grand Canyon area and it felt great. I stayed in Yellowstone for 5 days, 2 days at Old Faithful, 2 days at Canyon, and 1 day at Yellowstone Lake. The itinerary was not tight, so I just played around and drove all the roads in Yellowstone. Accommodation in Yellowstone is expensive, and the itinerary was not optimized, but the gas prices were cheaper than in the Bay Area. As for cash and credit cards, to be honest, I haven't used much cash in recent years. I only keep cash for tips. Throughout the trip, I only used cash once at a strange restaurant in Salt Lake City for one night, and also used cash to send postcards at the Yellowstone post office. Everything else was done with credit cards, including self-service gas and meals. It was surprising to find out at a gas station in Carson City that they explicitly did not accept VISA credit cards and had to use a MasterCard. I remembered trying credit cards at gas stations in Utah and San Diego last year, and this year's experience was really different, as many gas stations have upgraded ? United States Q&A
