On the shorter, more formal runs, we have a navigation sheet that gives turn by turn instructions with distances between turns. For the longer runs, everybody is told where the next meeting place is (often where there is fuel) and we are expected to get there at or near a certain time. Paper maps are the only reliable navigation aid - they don't care if there is no reception, they don't care if the car is 6 or 12 volts and they don't care if you can't hear them. Universal!
We find that if everybody keeps the car behind them in sight, no one gets lost and although we are a bit spread out (a good thing in modern traffic), there is no need for car to car contact.

You have the most reliable form of communicating.
Stone tablets and eyeball talk.
It has been working for thousands of years.
