QuestionDoes this garmin have a keyboard to type addresses also? I go to a lot of rural addresses that are easier to type than say.
Asked 7 years ago by Laura.
- Answer Yes, has a keyboard on the touch screen. 2 steps, first is the numerical address, then next keyboard is the street name. I like that is stays updated for free every time you connect to wifi. I also like that it warns you about upcoming curves and wildlife.

Asked 7 years ago by ToyotaOne.
