Hello, I'm about to go on a driving tour of France that will involve a lot of Google Maps navigation and because I drive a very old car this will done on my Andoid phone. I've read a few posts about poor coverage in France but none very recently. Is there still a problem? Also do I need to change any settings or avise SMARTY of my plans?

Thanks

Thanks I'll check that out

When you say โ€œpoor coverage in Franceโ€ that of course depends on the coverage that will be provided by the French networks that you will be roaming on.

On your driving tour, itโ€™s likely that you will get good coverage in major towns and cities, but maybe not in rural areas. 

Depending on the plan you have, you have a roaming data allowable of 12 GB. Depending on the length of your tour, you may exhaust that, and need to buy a data add on to confine to receive data connectivity.
