When in downtown Chicago, be aware that GPS signals get blocked and reflected by the skyscrapers and make the device far less accurate there than further west.

Route 66 crosses areas where there still is no (reliable) data connection on cell phone networks.

If you’re using things like a smartphone or a computer, make sure you also get the maps where you have no Internet connection.

You might need to buy these maps, and they typically are harder to find once inside the USA than at home (those who bought their device in the USA have no need for separate memory cards with USA maps).

If you’re flying in from overseas: make sure your device has maps for the USA.
