One of the attendants confirmed to me that now days it's rare to give out an external GPS device. So it would be a good incentive to rent out vehicles of higher category. For instance in Boston I used to rent the Grand Cherokee because there's no model on rent without inbuilt standard Navigation with uCONNECT which is awesome. Anyways thanks for everyone input.
I just had an XTS as a rental (via Hertz), and it was the Luxury trim with the GPS, although I never used it. Every XTS has Android Auto and Apple Carplay, and they're both so vastly superior to in-car GPS, that it's unclear why anyone would bother with in-car GPS anymore.
