I'm in Europe with friends for an extended time, and I plan on traveling as much as I can. This might include some weird and out of place areas, and I don't want to get charged out the ass for using my cell phone and roaming.
Mostly looking to get a dash mount GPS, which kind would you all recommend? I don't know a thing about tech, and I've heard a lot of them need to have maps downloaded before a trip, or updated regularly. Is there anything that works as easy and well as a phone GPS but without all the extra pre-trip downloads and complicated steps to use it? Something where I can just search and go, and not have to worry about paying roaming fees like I would for a phone?
Thanks in advance!

There's a app called maps.me
download it to your phone, download the maps while at home or using a wifi that are relevant to your trip, use it everywhere without using data (turn off data roaming just to make sure)
Now that was complicated

I figured that would take up a lot of data if I wanted to do a cross-Europe road trip eventually with stops along the way. I'll have paper maps soon too.
Also a question for the tech store but it's closed now

You can use your phones built in GPS without having Data or Wifi. Just make sure you have an Offline Map app. maps.me is a good one but there are plenty out there.

Google maps has offline options, just download the area.
