dumb question but how do these work? is a wifi needed? null

No. It uses radio frequencies coming from GPS satellites https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Positioning_System

No, wifi hotspot or internet connection is not required. These GPS devices are preprogrammed with locations and roadmaps. You just input your destination and go.

Once the Garmin is connected to the power outlet (cigarette lighter) and is charging, it connects to a satellite that shows streets. No wifi is necessary

Thank you for your question! WiFi is not needed or included with the Garmin Drive 52. Simply mount the device in your vehicle, connect the device to power, allow the device to acquire satellites and begin using the device.
