QuestionMy phone GPS is useless with no cell service. Does this GPS require cell service to navigate?
Asked 5 years ago by Bob.
- Answer No, the Garmin Drive 51 is a stand-alone GPS device, it only needs power from the car accessory outlet and the ability to "see" the GPS satellites (it will usually cut out when you are driving through a long tunnel and re-sync when you exit the tunnel).
