    My car's gps says "No GPS," although it used to work just fine. What could be wrong?
    Community Answer
    Updating your gps is necessary for it to work. If that fails, then you may need to take it in to the dealership.

    Why does my GPS continually say no maps located?
    Community Answer
    There's a chance that there is no cell service in your area. Check to see if your phone is working on 3G or LTE. The operating system on your GPS may also be outdated, cross check what it says in the settings with what you find on Google for the make/model. Other than that, a factory reset may be in order.

    What do I do if my GPS keeps telling me to turn into places I can't turn?
    Community Answer
    Most likely the roads have changed after the map was programmed, or the map was a pre-construction one. Try updating your software to the most recent map set.

    My car's GPS will not work due to having no SIM card. What can I do?
    Community Answer
    Get a SIM card. Google the specific make and model of the GPS to be sure of the size, and look around places like Ting Mobile, Sprint, and T-Mobile to find a good deal.
