Syncup Tracker and Google Maps
I just ordered a Syncup Tracker. Customer Service claimed that this device would allow me to connect to Google Maps in a rental car in England, even in rural areas where there is no cell service. Can...
It sounds like the SyncUP DRIVE - Car Wi-Fi Hotspot & Tracking would be closer to what you are looking for. It plugs into your car and can broadcast a Wi-Fi network while on the go. There is a place in the SyncUP DRIVE page that allows you to check the make and model of your car to see if it is compatible. I would check that if you can because it is possible that it is not compatible with the non-US vehicle. The SyncUP DRIVE plan does work internationally, but it is subject to network availability. If you are in a rural area that does not have coverage from one of our partner networks, you will not get service. You can see if the areas you will be in are covered on our Viajar al exterior site.
As it turns out, it WAS the T-Mobile Syncup Tracker. But I called back to customer service and reached someone who knew what he was talking about. He said this device will NOT do what I wanted it to. He said the previous advice I got was way off base. I will be returning the device when it arrives at my house. The device is simply a tracking device, which I do not need.
