Hi Chris,

You'll need some sort of hands free device so the phone is not in the drivers
hand.
The hired GPS will probably talk to you and give turn by turn directions. Go
for that if it's what you prefer. They work well and aren't hard to use.
it is, then you click directions,
then route … then Start ...
And off you go!
