We had a car from Hertz with GPS in Germany. It was set on German. We didn't find this out until after we left the airport. We had a German friend who helped is get it switched to English. There were no instructions for the GPS in the car in any language. Also, the GPS would not work after we left Germany. It worked well inside Germany though. I would recommend having Hertz help you get the thing set on English.

I bought a Garmin Nüvi 670 for our trip this spring. I have been able to pre-program all our hotels and places of interest and it has maps for all the countries we will be visiting. Be aware that Garmin will charge you for all updates that come out after your purchase date at $130 each.
