NeverLost in Canada?
I'm picking up a car at JFK for an upcoming trip that will take me to Montreal before returning the car at BTV (much cheaper than returning at YUL).
Do I need to do anything to ensure that the Neverlost will also work in Canada? Do I need to tell Hertz that I'm taking the vehicle to Canada? Suggestions welcome. Thanks!

Did the same with a car from EWR -- drove into Montreal, but returned back to EWR. No major problems with roads -- the system switched automatically to Canadian directions (and metric units of measure) after I crossed the border...

I provided the link because it provides a little more info and reveals that a lot of Canadians are unaware of this. This may not impact the OP but it could bite a Canadian resident.
