Navigation/GPS units for International Travel

So for the last few trips to Europe I have been using my phone for navigation while driving - however there have been malfunctions at inappropriate times that I don't see locally such as hanging up or taking forever to geographically locate me. Of course this is very unhelpful when one is trying to navigate unfamiliar roads. My phone is an Android Note 4 so it is getting rather old at this point and occasionally now even hangs up while navigating or doing other things here in the US.

I was seriously considering purchasing a dedicated GPS unit especially for international travel - something that will seamlessly kick in upon landing and help me navigate without hanging up. So it would have to be something with world maps and where applicable routing based on traffic. Right now Google maps works well on the phone. Do dedicated GPS units come with this capability?

Any insights into models worth looking at would be helpful.
