How to Get International Driving Directions

You can drive anywhere in the world with the right directions.

Driving directions are easy to get nowadays. You can use a global positioning system (GPS) in your car and even get directions from your Internet cell phone. However, it's always a good idea to have backup directions when you are relying on technological devices. International driving directions are a little harder to come by, especially when you're preplanning a trip before you reach your destination. But if you know the right place to look, you can get international driving directions for almost anywhere in the world.

Instructions

1. Bring your GPS with you on the trip. Make sure its programs have been updated and that it has the ability to provide international directions.

2. Visit MapQuest.com. When traveling in an area that you are not familiar with, you should have printed directions, just in case your GPS loses connection with its satellite.

3. Click the "Directions" icon, and then select the down arrow beside the word "International."

4. Select the country you plan to travel to and from in the new dropdown menu of the starting and ending points.

5. Type in the address and city you want directions for, and click "Get Directions."

Tips & Warnings

• Consult with your AAA agent for international maps and directions if you're traveling to a particularly remote place or if you can't access the Internet.
