Will Navi/Google Maps work in Mexico?

[BlackBarryNewb]

My carrier is Verizon. I have a droid 1 and will be going on a trip to Mexico. Would like to use the GPS to guide me to my destination. Will it work?

Thanks. What exactly is prefetch the maps and why?

I did a quick search on the boards but couldn't find anything.

it lets you get a certin area of maps so if you hit a dead zone your nav still works and you dont end up lost in mexico trust me its not fun. see this video for more info ‪How to download Google Maps data for offline use‬‏ - YouTube

Done.

I will be leaving Monday. I'm still taking a print out just in case but hopefully the phone gets the job done.

As long as you pre fetch all the map data from your house to Mexico I should be able to use navigation in air plane mode but if you enter an area without be fetch maps your navagation will stop.
