WILL GPS WORK IN DR?

[Mauricio]

With waze and google maps around, who still uses garmin / tomtom style GPS systems? 
Waze is always near up to date. Any change you notice you can report and it is handled. Works excellent in SD, and good enough in most of DR.

To the OP, if you mean using your phone, yes.

If you mean bringing your Garmin, no.  It requires you to buy a DR maps download or card.  

People still pay for GPS?

My phone and Google maps take me everywhere I need to get to.

Hey guys, last I checked most people were saying that GPS was useless out there... (2008)..

Is this still the case or are they trust worthy these days?

I plan on driving around the North, mostly Salcedo, Tenares, Moca and of-course Santiago and the beaches on the north.

Can I rely on a GPS?

The Google maps on my US-purchased Android telephone works in the DR.

Google maps works just about anywhere in the World there is a fairly large city. Does not matter where you buy your phone.
