There is no consistency. The best GPS I've had was in a compact car from Avis. The worst was in an E-class Mercedes rented from Europcar. But that's just the luck —or bad luck—of he draw. Hertz says their “never lost” system is the best, but I've no first-hand experience. The only way to beat the system is to bring your own. I'm in Germany now carrying my portable Garmn Nuvi 660. It did a great job today of tracking our train ride from Brussels to Regensburg. It told me, for example, that our top speed was 173 MPH.
