You don't need a phone. The car itself has GPS.

If available, it's best to do so. If not, pre-download the map offline because the signal in many places is really bad.

Just download the map from Google. I've been to Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon without any problems. But it's best to bring a phone holder, preferably the kind that attaches to the front windshield with a suction cup. The phone holder I brought from China doesn't work in some cars.

I'm sorry, but I'm not sure what you are asking. Could you please provide more context or clarify your question?

QEEQ User

Mobile phones are better.

Mobile navigation is very convenient.

In late September 2016, I need to consult everyone about renting a car in the western United States. Dear experts, our group consists of 5 adults and 1 child, and we are planning to rent a car for a Road trip in the western United States in late September next year. We will arrive in Los Angeles, then transfer to Salt Lake City, and we want to rent a camper to go to Yellowstone National Park, and finally drive to Las Vegas to return the car. Which car rental company is more reliable? Is there a camper of this size available for rent? What is the minimum rental period? Thank you very much ? 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
