Does you car have navigation? If not, use a smartphone app like Waze.

Android auto works even better than the factory nav by a huge margin.

i use android auto and google maps--AND IT SUCKS! If you do not have a phone signal, ANDROID AUTO will not appear on the screen. after it shows the "message", it locks up and will not continue to update, so i have to unplug my phone and start all over. but when it works, it works good. I could not access onstar nav because i don't know the password set in at the dealership, but $39 a month is a total waste of money for my normal usage.
EDIT; I have to carry my old GPS. we just finish a week of driving in West Va where cell signal is rare.
