No, the Garmin SmartDrive 65 does NOT need WiFi to operate and provide you with your location and directions. It receives its data from satellites. The WiFi connection is only used for software updates if you choose not to connect your GPS directly to a computer for updates.

No, 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.
