Driving in Malta
There is GPS satellite navigation coverage of Malta by the popular telecoms brands, however it is best to check with your var hire company as to whether they make this available to you as part of your car hire deal or not.

Unlike the majority of Europe, the traffic in Malta drives on the left hand side of the road.
