A:AnswerWhile the GPS is ready to use out of the box, we would suggest using the Garmin Express program to check for any map and software updates that may have been made available while the device was in transit and on the retailer’s shelf. If you haven't installed Garmin Express please download it from the following link: www.garmin.com/express
A:AnswerYes, this model includes the Active Lane Guidance, a feature that takes Lane Assist and Junction View to the next level. When on a route that contains an area compatible with Active Lane Guidance, the device will switch to split-screen view.
A:AnswerYes, this model includes a trial subscription to the red light and speed cameras database. It does have the ability to alert you when the speed limit changes.
A:AnswerYes . . . It does have provision to use a SD card. The only thing that I am disappointed with is there NO place to add phone numbers. My old GPS Garman had this option.
A:AnswerYes, this model includes the "Where Am I?" feature. This feature displays the geographical coordinates and elevation for your current location. This location can be saved.
A:AnswerYes, you can view the direction of travel in one of the Trip Data fields on the map screen. Here is a link to a Garmin Support article that will help: https://bit.ly/2U8bmlK
A:AnswerBought this GPS not too long ago and used it on a road trip shortly after. It requires no monthly fees or anything of the sort and you get free map updates for life, though you should update and charge it right after purchase. It only takes a few seconds for it to pick up the satellite after turning on and I find it more accurate than Google maps.
A:AnswerYes, this device is an easy-to-use, dedicated GPS navigator that does not rely on Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or cellular signals and is unaffected by cellular dead zones.
A:AnswerYes, this device includes the Trip Planner feature that can be used to create and save a trip with multiple stops. Or if you only want to “shape” a custom route to go the way you prefer; the device has a Shaping Points feature also.
