Go Mobile iPhone : Do I need Internet access whilst overseas ?

Ewins · January 2019

I am travelling to USA / Canada for two Months and apart from the upgrade cost for either 2 months or a year do I need access to Data ?

I will be turning Data Roaming off whilst travelling that's all.

I will have wifi generally each day where we are staying but due to data costs will be turning International roaming off.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Ewins,

As long as you have preloaded the map(s) that you need, then you don't need to use mobile data whilst in the USA or Canada. If you have the space on your iPhone then use the large USA & Canada map (6.39 GB) as you'll be able to navigate from the USA to Canada and vice versa. You should always use WiFi when downloading maps anyway.

Although you're not going to use mobile data, I'm pretty sure that you will find plenty of places with free WiFi which you can use to check traffic when you stop for a break.

You may want to consider getting the POIViewer app, which is a POI managing tool that you can preload with custom POIs (when at home) and create POIs lists (on location), either way, you can navigate to a POI on Mobile GO iOS by using POIViewer.

Regards,
